Do not keep company with people who speak of careers. Not only are such people uninteresting in themselves; they also have no interest in anything interesting.... Keep company with people who are interested in the world outside themselves. The one who never asks you what you are working on; who never inquires as to the success of your latest project; who never uses the word career as a noun — he is your friend.
