Choose “both” (IM 760)

We are taught to choose one option when we are given a choice. This has been true in most of us. We are told to “Go to school or start a company".  But why should we choose one of them? Why can't we take the both? Elon Musk is running Tesla and SpaceX; he’s also chairman of SolarCity. Steve Jobs did the same with Apple and Pixar. Branson’s Virgin Group has started over 300 Virgin companies and built eight different billion-dollar companies in eight different industries. Multiple projects means multiple talents and opportunity to enhance multiple skills, knowledge and abilities, which in turn leads to multiple successes.
