“Stand up and tell people that you cannot just be the red carpet upon which others will parade.” — Brown Interviews Protesilaos Stavrou

Abstract

I think you should put yourself first and then the audience will follow. Even if there is no audience, what matters is whether you can be yourself and get the most out of what you are doing. For me that is, at the end of the day, an intellectual activity that broadens my mind and satisfies an innate curiosity.
