“Live life with it’s fullness. If you live your life and forego your plan, you can also forego your fear. In some sense, you’ve been penalized for making mistakes historically; now you have to go out and make them because mistakes allow you to learn, and innovate, and try new things. And that’s a culture of innovation that is going to create the next opportunities for all of you as you come to run and rule the world.”
