Stop Learning, Start Thinking!

So, couple days ago I was watching this 14 year old, autistic genius giving speech on TED. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq-FOOQ1TpE&list=PLM2LA2chrd5rBhzco8EhLlebNaMIleVWn

The kid basically says that at some point, we all need to stop learning and actually start thinking/creating. We all come up with all sorts of excuses not to get started with something that is truly important for us. Waiting for all the stars to align is like waiting for Godot. After all, the true learning happens when you are out there doing rather than reading about doing over and over. Stop being afraid of failure and stop coming up with all sorts of excuses not to get started with that special project of yours. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. We live in the country that is on the cusp of a major industrial and developmental "explosion." There are so many industries and opportunities that need to be exploited. So stop resting on your laurels and stop telling yourself all those excuses not to get started with your business idea.Those who don't take risks work for those who do!  Create goals and break them down into small, manageable tasks to be tackled each day. A thousand mile journey starts with a single step.

That's what I did, and it was yet the best career decision I have ever made.
