"All books & courses are simply maps of other peoples past. Absorb and use them but always remember that your own path will be different, and it is this personal path that you must travel. Don't try to exactly copy another persons path; use their knowledge, but remain aware that the particular landscape of your own path is unique. However the paradox remains: You must discover your own path, but can't perceive it while your on it, only after you have travelled it"
