For the youngest Kapur

What was it, that you once said sitting in Canmore? "Passion is the most important thing". It's easy to forget that when life starts to drag you down. To help remind you I offer up some lessons I've learned while paving the way.

• Most of long chain gurus, cranks and messiahs that have illumined human civilization have agreed on one point: that it’s what you do every day, day in day out, that forms who you are. Not what you do on special occasions.
  
  
• Sudden flashes of insight might propel you forward, but those sudden flashes only came to people who worked with consistent dedication to learn the new, to master the old.
  
  
• But if you’ve done the training, the race will take care of itself.
