A note to self: Robin Williams edition

Lights out Alice!

Youtube's recommendation engine led me to Robin Williams compilation but what is rekindled in me is a love for chasing greatness, but not the socially accepted version of it, but a version that is defined by our own metrics and self.

For the past two weeks, I have been living with my elder sister, who has always been a rock and an inspiration for me, someone who has blazed a trail her entire life and inspired me to try to get to even 10% of her achievements level. She faced odds head first, in a way shielded me from them, all while maintaining a smile on her face. 

Post masters, given the boundlessness of corporate life and the lack of direction or directive, I have felt a bit lost. But I have also found that I no longer agree with conventional wisdom on what success should be.
