Are the following sentences correct?

During my studies I gained a lot of experience, but the most important lesson for me and my advice to everyone: if you have a sincere desire and goal, then no matter where you are now and how much you risk, never be afraid of anything and never give up.

It is a single sentence. Studies and experience are usually thought of as two different things. "But" does not seem to be called for.

  • "But" does not seem to be called for.
  • Colons are ugly and intrusive, and they should be used rarely and advisedly, mostly in technical or scholarly writing, because they are a creature of written language and cannot be rendered in speech—use words instead of punctuation.
  • A goal cannot be sincere.
