Good post! Eschewing conventional wisdom when it doesn’t fit is good advice.

Very true, its hard to do… But lets be honest to really make it, you’ve got to break the mold.

Nice post Ryan. Thinking out of the box is one of the keys to success. I too am a contrarian thinker.

When people tell me, ‘I’m wasting my time’ or ‘there’s no way’ I smell opportunity.

Fun, yeah… except for those times when my mom points out that “settling down” is supposed to follow “wandering around”, and not the other way around.

Personally, though, I think more people would follow the road less traveled if they were more in tune with what makes them happy…

“be comfortable being uncomfortable.” – I love it, Ron.

deepali, I understand. But, I think that is what is so much fun.

Love it. Not day goes by that I don’t get a puzzled look from someone when I explain what path (or lack of) I’m on. But there are more of us out there than most people think!

I have some relatives who think I’m far too brilliant to be doing what I’m doing (I don’t necessarily agree about the brilliant part…). But I explain to them that what I’m doing feels fulfilling to me. Kind of like the honors student becoming the mechanic–only it’s the honors student becoming the hospital technician and part-time library worker.

Now I just have to write that book.
