“To be successful: know everything about something and something about everything.” Paraphrased from Vitruvius, 80-15BC

I read this in my first week of architecture school. It affected me. Since then I’ve been able to define myself as a filmmaker, writer, graphic designer, photographer, musician, traveler, builder/renovator, dogs’ best friend, and an entrepreneur who created and ran ten businesses. But I don’t think of myself as a genius—just someone who is motivated and energized by curiosity—and remains consistently unemployed and financially in flux. Trade off?!
