Changing course is never easy.

You have to be careful to react when you start to deviate from your course.

Take the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well.

In many ways, my decision to come out changed the course not only of my personal life but of my professional one as well.

I think you have an obligation to be an optimist. Because if you're not, nothing will change.

Stay the course.

But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.

It's easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don't change, your field changes around you.

Mastery is great, but even that is not enough. You have to be able to change course without a bead of sweat, or remorse.

Change is the end result of all true learning.
