NOTE

Adjacent Pursuits and Aspirations

Venturing out of the comfort zone is crucial as comfort can hinder future aspirations. The concept of agency emphasizes exploring other potential paths that may be different but somewhat related to previous experiences. The idea of adjacency doesn't limit one from pursuing something entirely different, but it highlights that the highest probability of success lies in ventures connected to past experiences. The speaker illustrates that pursuing goals not adjacent to current skills or experiences may not lead to success. The decision to quit an aspiration should be based on willingness to invest in making a positive impact. It is emphasized that the goal should be to make a positive difference rather than proving a point or being right.
