Take the crooked road
“Improvement makes straight roads, but the crooked roads without improvement are the roads of genius.” — William Blake
I have always found the crooked roads more fun and intriguing, although they are often the scariest ones. Even for someone like me who finds safety in order, goals, and a known destination, abandoning myself to an open road feels exhilarating. Work wise, I have gone down many paths off a straight, predictable direction. Each one has taken me closer to a passion, talent or interest that I wanted to explore. It’s been quite a ride, as they say.
