“Find people you admire and ask how they got where they are.  Seek book recommendations.  Add experience and experimentation on top of this.  Put yourself in tough situations.  Accept challenges.  Familiarize yourself with the unfamiliar.  That’s how you widen your perspective and your understanding.  The wise are still because they have seen it all.  They know what to expect because they’ve been through so much.  They’ve made mistakes and learned from them.  And so must you.”
