You’re allowed to have one. As long as you don’t force it on someone, and as long as you don’t call someone stupid because they don’t agree with your opinion—we need to have more of that.  ● Look at your friends and who you’d want to be in the trenches with.  ● The best gift you can give your kid is a musical instrument.  ● The things that make me happy are my family, my friends, and my work. Everything in-between is an added bonus.  ● If you want to change career and follow your passion, no one’s going to do that for you except you.  ● I think there’s a bit of luck involved with any success.  ● Your own happiness is your real wealth.  ● Your problems may be triggered by someone else, but they’re not caused by someone else.  ● You will never solve an issue without putting everything on the table.  ● It’s hip to be offended.  ● Something you have to do in an interview very, very quickly is establish trust.  Connect with Bill on LinkedIn
