1. The video was intended as life advice to whom? 
The video was intended as life advice for anyone with a dream, but more specifically it is intended for anyone that’s ever been passionate about anything.

2. Never lose the child like wonder.  --  I agree. I think the more we grow, the more our priorities change. It becomes easier to be lazy and lose interest in having curiosity, but curiosity is what creates the world.
