1. You learn the value of independence. You don’t need a man to save you or anyone to take care of you. You learn by example that you are capable of living a full and happy life without having to share it with someone else. You learn that you can build a home, raise kids, […]

It’s common wisdom. Near gospel really, and not just among young people and founders. Across generational lines, sentiments like those from Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement at Stanford have been engraved into our collective consciousness: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
