I wish our culture was better at honestly expressing our level of uncertainty, and being okay and encouraging of other people doing the same. Having widely-understood ways to say "based on what I know now, I think X, but this is a preliminary opinion and I am super-willing to adjust based on new arguments or evidence".

I think that the idea of doing what is important and what is interesting for a person is the essence of happiness. If you believe in your idea, you understand why you are going towards your goal, then this will help you move on.
