KEY TAKEAWAY

‘Life doesn't come with a plan, does it? You can focus on certain areas. You can push yourself down certain paths and take the opportunities when they come. But sometimes things present themselves either as hurdles or as future opportunities. So, you have to be there to embrace those, sometimes to ride over those hurdles.’
