You should love what you do. Idealistic, I know. But if you don't get up in the morning and don't feel a certain level of gut certainty that you like doing this, regardless of success, than re-evaluate.

The passion for what you do will lead to success. On that there is no question. How you define success is very much in the air. But if you're doing what you love, it really doesn't matter, does it?

Keep in mind that at the end of the day you are more valuable than the idea. You're still in college, it's early in the game. You can create new ideas, change the world in ways you haven't even thought of yet.




See and therein lies the problem! I love working on the idea (Far more than I like doing school, that's for sure). It's practically my baby. But of course I like my idea...

But you raise very good points. I am quite stuck on this one, as you can see.

"You can create new ideas, change the world in ways you haven't even thought of yet." - What if this one isn't it. When do I move on? Haha


oops, double negative.
