Go for it!
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not care what it is that you love, I do not care what your passions are. I dare you, nay, I double-dare you to pursue your dreams and not to be afraid of failure.
Embrace failure, enjoy your learning process and start over again!

Are you having fun?
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
Dale Carnegie
This is a profound fact about success.
As long as you do not enjoy whatever you are doing, you will never be good at it.
Work can fulfill your life, yes. But it is not about the abstract thing ‘work’, but about its content. Work, that you truly love, can fulfill your life.
Remember this important fact and think about your job or your perspective.

Have goals and plans
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
Albert Einstein
People come and go.
You make friends, you loose friends, people move away, even die.
But abstract ideals, goals, moral values, all those things stay with you as long as you want them to.
Have important, personal and big goals and back them up with definite plans. Have a vision where you want to be in 10 years and work on this vision. Never stop dreaming and working on your dreams, it will keep you sane and happy!
