FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

Adam conrad, a major sofware engineer says that through his life hes made a lot of mistakes and has failed a lot, but you must never turn away from what you love because  "the allure of wants is ephemeral – ignoring your needs will destroy you."

According to Adam, at one point was at the end of his ropes. Losing his friends, family, and everyone he held dear as he chasing his dreams and with that he said that"I was stuck. Hopeless. And worst of all, I had lost the people closest to me – perhaps my only regret in life."

Conrad infers that people often quit once they fail and instead of saying people to move on, Conrad says that"Failure can wake you up and force you to find your needs".

Conrad knows that life is never easy and that fighting for your dreams takes time and even if he isn't quite there yet  he is glad to say that "I’m happy to say I’m on my way there. I’m fulfilling my needs one day at a time"

Adam Conrad gives his readers one last piece of advice that has much significance in his life which is "do what you love. Seriously. It may seem like a complete platitude at this point, but I urge you to act now. Life is too short to act tomorrow"
