      Hi Kevin

      Wow, that's an open ended question, but here are my essentials:

      1. Be Curious, never stop asking. Always be curious, never settle and think you have arrived. You will hopefully never arrive, and that's the best part about it.

      2. Fuck the process. Love the process. All eyes on the cake at all times. This is how we get shit done. Never focus on the process for the sake of the process, that's how politics work. Focus on the cake, and once you have it, appreciate the process because the process is what you will remember, and what will help you grow as a person.

      The process is evil while you haven't reached the goal, it's easy to fall in love with the process and never finish anything. But then again you should and will value the process after you went through it. I know, it's confusing.

      1. Nothing will happen overnight Keep on moving, keep staying busy and get good work done. There is no shortcut. As Kevin Durant already said “Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.”

      Magic happens when hard work & preparation meets opportunities. Both is in your control.

      Happy Tuesday Kevin!
