Tina Seelig - What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the WorldHarperOne2009年刊 ティナ・シーリグ「20歳のときに知っておきたかったこと スタンフォード大学集中講義」・・ What would you do to earn money if all you had was five dollars and two hours? How did they do this? Here's a clue: the teams that made the most money didn't use the five dollars at all. This couldn't be any more different from life after collage, where you are your own teacher, charged with figuring out what you need to know, where to find the information, and how to absorb it. In fact, real life is the ultimate open book exam. The doors are thrown wide open, allowing you to draw on endless resources around you as you tackle open-ended problems related to work, family, friends, and the world at large. Why don't most of us view problems as opportunities in our every lives? Over time, I've became increasingly aware that the world is divided into people who wait for offers to give them permission to do the things they want to do and people who grant themselves permission. If you want a leadership role, then take on leadership roles. Just give yourself permission to do so. Quitting is actually incredibly empowering. "Never miss an opportunity to be fabulous." Being fabulous implies making the decision to go beyond what's expected at all times. Hopefully, the stories in this book underscore the idea that boundless possibilities result from extracting yourself from your comfort zone, being willing to fail, having a healthy disregard for impossible, and seizing every opportunity to be fabulous.
