Kids ask for what they want and dream big. They see something they want and ask if they can go there and do the thing or get the thing. They don’t have much planned out besides that.
When we get older, we spend all the time focusing on what it’s going to be like when we get the thing or go to the place. For instance, “I can’t move to San Francisco, my bills will be out of control!”
The young person, the kid, he’ll just go and figure it out.
Some call it irresponsible, but it is interesting to note that most of the innovation and explosive entrepreneurial empires happen when you’re younger.
It can be good to be young and dumb when it keeps you free from worrying about what it will be like when you get there. Focus on the dream and not the “responsible” stuff. You’re smarter and more flexible and harder working (especially when you’re desperate) than you may realize.
