NOTE

Proximity to Success

In order to succeed in one's career or life, it is crucial to surround oneself with people who are at the center of the industry or field of interest, even if it is not exactly what one wants to do. By being close to these individuals, one can discover new opportunities and roles that were previously unknown. Working in a related field or getting a job in a setting where the desired activity is happening allows for a better understanding of the industry and the chance to learn from experts. It is important to immerse oneself in the environment where things are happening and then progress and refine one's goals from there, rather than being on the outside and just guessing about the industry.
