"Don't be afraid. Wherever you are in your life, don't feel like you're too far along in your career. You're too old. It's not the right place. You don't have the skills. These are all excuses. We all have excuses. Why? Because we're afraid of failure. And sometimes, when life gives you that failure that gives you that necessity, you no longer have an excuse. You have to make a change because something in the background has already been decided for you." – Crystal Ware
