"Perhaps I can say, 'Follow your dream' in a way that's fresh.  As in: don't let anyone discourage you.  Don't back down when someone, often a parent or spouse worrying on your behalf, tells you that your dream is admirable, but too many people have that same dream.  What I mean is: don't be afraid to take that leap, that job that challenges you, possibly even scares you, that sends you to a new city as a stranger in a strange land.

(Former) Texas Governor Ann Richards once said, 'Never turn down a new experience unless it's against the law or it's going to get you in real serious trouble.'  If you have your heart set on a field that is famously hard to break into, famously competitive, listen to the voice inside you that whispers - in defiance of the naysayers and against the odds - 'I could be the one.'"
