from Farza's Newsletter [alt+shift+b] in life

Obsession is a pretty powerful thing. It’s awesome how you can get obsessed with something and spend all your energy just being obsessed with that thing. Some of my favorite musicians are like that. Matt Bellamy from Muse would always talk about how he’s just been obsessed with making music since he started playing piano as a kid. He was never trying to become a massive artist. He was just obsessed with building the sounds he imagined in his head.

I come from a Pakistani family. Unless your new initiative is a big success, you're a big flop. As a society, no matter where you're from -- we have a tendency to look at those that did something really hard, but didn't figure it out as a person who "failed".
