Think about not waiting your turn. Instead, think about getting together with friends that you admire, people you envy. Think about not waiting for a company to call you up.

In every career, your job is to make and tell stories. You will build a body of work, but you will also build a body of affection—the people you've helped and who've helped you back.

Just hold on and keep loving what you love. And you'll see, in the end, they will let you stay.
