The Power of a Few Big Ideas.
Two internal, two external.
1. Do the things that you are truely passionate about.
Example: I studied physics despite not easy to find job.
2. Failure is best chance for learning.
Example: my half year in Dallas...
3. Globalization.
Example: you can compete with rich kids in New York.
Actions:
a. learn english, you can join world teams
b. learn internet, all world's knowledge are there
c. build social captial: join juexiang.com!!!!
4. Urbanization
Example: the small villiage that you grew up in will be a small city in 20 years. A lot of wealth will be created, some of it by your childhood friends who never went to college.
Action: before you take on a hot job in a hot area, spend a summer in small towns around where you grew up, and look for fast moving small companies to join. the less college graduates the company has, the better. You could be second in command in 3 years in a fast moving company like that. Look for small comapnies that can benefit from globalization.
Final words:
Stay hungry, stay foolish!
