Sometimes, it is the outsiders - the people with nothing but passion, grit and a unique worldview - that come and blaze a new trail. If you an outsider in Tech, Literature, Medicine, Engineering, maybe it is on you that the salvation of mankind rests. Maybe you are the one that will carve a new path and show us a new way of seeing, feeling, being.
Don't allow your perceived lack of knowledge in a field to deter you. Teach yourself. Push yourself. Think outside the box.
Bless us with your genius. 🙏❤️
