Yes, and.

Be bold. Speak in statements rather than apologetic questions. Fail gloriously. In that moment of failure, when you spent all your time and love making money and it all falls to pieces anyway, you need to remember to take it. Take it to the limit one more time. 

There is something more to life than yourself; there is a greater good than your good alone. You’ve learned that on the field and on the stage, on the concert hall, in chapel, sports, academics, and the arts. There’s a good beyond our own personal flourishing, worth investing in and sacrificing for. It is the very best part of living - take it!
