“Ignore what your parents say. Especially if you’re an affluent kid. A lot of pressure from coming from the right schools with all the right advantages, with successful parents.
And try as many suits on as you can to see what you like. When you land on something you like, you're going to know it and you’ll build a career on it.”

“One day I went to an exercise at 6:00 in the morning.
And at 6:00 p.m. that night I was in a German hospital
with a smashed spine, and a broken cradle, and a
broken career. Life promises you nothing. You better
live like life promises you nothing.
Opportunity knocks for everybody. But most people
don't have their bags packed. Or they haven't been
listening for the doorbell.”

“My father's advice was: create a
reputation. Not an external reputation,
but internal reputation in a business and
in an industry that you enjoy.
And if you've wanted to do something on
your own, you go and do it. But you don't
flit from flower to flower.”Click here to

“The most inspiring moment was to have the
opportunity of visiting The White House and meeting
John F. Kennedy. He was looking across a group of us
and he said: ‘People in this world are not getting along
well. But you, young people, you get along. There are
no national boundaries. The only question is
whether you can extend your helping hand to
people who are in need.’”

“You can pretty much do anything that you put your
mind to. What I learned, though, is that if you're going to
have that confidence, you better be incredibly humble and
realize that there is in fact a lot that you don't know and
have no problem asking for help.”Click here to

“Embrace diversity. It’s your world. And
your world is going to be more and more
diverse. You're going to have to live with
people of different educations, cultures,
beliefs, and backgrounds.”

“I think there's nothing wrong if kids took a year off
between high school and college. There's nothing
wrong with sitting back and thinking, ‘What do I
want to be,’ before you start accumulating $100,000
or $80,000 into student loan.“
