Struggling to find direction

"You have to do really well, make the audience really remember you, acknowledge you in one area, then you should look to other areas. If you are too greedy, want too much, then in the end the audience will not leave any impression. Not to mention you will waste time, effort, money... and still be struggling," Quoc Thien said.
