“Try to have a positive net contribution to society. That’s something to aim for”.

02

“A lot of the time, the people you want as leaders are the people who don’t want to be leaders. Forcing yourself to do anything or be anyone you do not always end up in disappointment. Play to your strengths, and you’ll succeed.”

03

“I would encourage people to read a lot of books. Try to ingest as much information as you can and develop good general knowledge, so you at least have a rough lay of the land of the knowledge landscape.”

04

“Talk to people from different walks of life and industries, professions, and skills. Learn as much as possible.”
