Traducao (Portugues)

Você não precisa ter um sonho. Americanos em reality shows sempre dizem que têm um sonho. Tudo bem, se tem algo que sempre quis fazer, vá em frente. Mas seja flexível. É tudo sobre a jornada, não o destino. Lembre-se, seja micro-ambicioso. Abaixe a cabeça e trabalhe com orgulho no que estiver na sua frente. Defina-se pelo que você ama, não pelo que odeia. Seja duro com suas opiniões. A maioria delas não é tão especial. Exercite-se. Cuide do seu corpo. Você só tem um. Seja gentil. É barato. É grátis. E é um superpoder.
