10 Lessons From What I Knew When I was 20 by Tina Seelig
1. The bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity. Nobody will pay you to solve a non-problem.
2. Uncertainty is the essence of life, and it fuels opportunity.
3. The harder you work, the luckier you get.
4. Sometimes quitting is the bravest alternative, because it requires you to face your failures and announce them publicly.
5. Ideas are like babies because everyone thinks theirs is cute, therefore be objective when judging your own ideas.
6. Attitude is perhaps the biggest determinant of what we can accomplish.
7. You can’t learn to play soccer by reading the rulebook, you can’t learn to play the piano by studying sheets of music, and you can’t learn to cook by reading recipes. You have to take action. Be involved. Do the work.
8. The key to success is the ability to extract the lessons out of each of these experiences and to move on with that new knowledge.
