Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Don't take time off. You will be out of the market and will not be able to get back in.

  • How I responded:

    Yoga works wonders. And listen to yourself. Go on nice long hikes out of the city. You will know when you are all alone.
