You have to take the unexpected paths. If you're not courageous, you'll be hanging around the water cooler, talking about the person who did.

Some people choose a secure job, family, and have a happy fruitful life. Some like to build and create and still have a happy fruitful life. Others choose a negative lifestyle, hopefully you don't. Whatever framework, you need to be adventurous, try new things, and like Star Trek: go where no one has gone before.
