“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.

This is true in work and life. Chances are if you can’t be wrong at work, you probably can’t be wrong in life… and that is debilitating for sustaining any long-term relationships you may have - family, friends, partners.
