"Your networking opportunities don’t stop with professors, internship supervisors, and alums. As a freshman, you should network with the people in your class and the three years ahead of you. As a senior, you should build relationships with the people three years behind you. That’s seven years of people who could be potentials bosses and connections."
COLLABORATION/BUSINESS STRATEGY

"After I returned to the U. S., I was admitted to college and later law school—without a high school diploma. I’ll admit there were gaps in my learning but focusing on the seemingly limited (but, in reality, not-so-limited), unique opportunities that were available to me in Africa, taught me far more than I lost as a result of my lack of formal schooling."

Going down seemingly 'failing' or 'bad' paths may not be the wrong idea.

"Your lifelong goal should be to find worth, or “what matters,” in every job you may have, as opposed to finding work “that matters.” "
Find something that matters to you, what makes you happy in a job that makes you care or makes you happy instead of doing something that you don't like to do because the job pays you a great amount.

13. Your goal: one deep dive. If I’m talking to an intro course of hundreds of people, I’ll ask them two questions. One, when you graduate, will you have the skills that everybody else in the room does? They’ll need to be able to answer “yes.” And two, will you be able to do something that nobody else in the room can do? If that answer is also “yes,” you’ve just discovered the secret to excelling: Find an area of specialty where you can develop depth; that’s what makes you uniquely positioned to help an employer. Be nimble enough to do a lot of things, but deep enough to do one thing better than anyone else.

FIND WHAT YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE IN AND USE IT TO HELP OTHERS AND CREATE NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOURSELF

"High-achievers want to do it all. Don’t. Despite many examples otherwise, the world wants you to do 15 things well rather than 50 things sloppily."

Don't be afraid to say no to things

"Do it when you’re not working. Do it when you are working."

If you want to be great, you got to hustle and do for you ALL the time. Only because you aint getting paid or getting smarter by sitting around doing nothing.

"While it’s inevitable that you will sometimes eat at the $2.99 buffet and pull all-nighters, you need good food, regular exercise, and lots of sleep. This non-academic priority will improve your academic ones."

Taking time for you mental and physical health is very important and will help you be a better student.

“Relationships > GPAs. Unless you’re planning on going to graduate school, grades should feel secondary to the process of working with your peers and professors. I would rather you came into my office and to ask me about the artifact on my desk than to fight about .08 points that will mean zippo to your career success. When you show you care about performance more than points, it’s the signal to me—and thus to the future employers I talk to about you—that you’re the kind of person they want on their team.”

This is telling you to develop more personal relationships with the people around you because relationships will help you achieve more not just your grades.

"To cross that bridge successfully, it’s not always about memorizing facts, writing papers, and meeting deadlines. It’s about the extras—the mindset and strategies that will help students explore, engage, and excel."

Being an intellectual is much more than how you look on paper.

¨Your brain is not your day planner. The life skill you’ll need to master in college is prioritization. That skill develops when you can see what’s coming next month, next week, tomorrow, in 10 minutes, #ohwaitthatpaperisduetoday. With so many moving parts in college, you simply can’t afford to stay unorganized. Students get in academic trouble when they panic. They panic when they don’t prepare. I don’t care what method you use to keep your calendar (app or paper), as long as it’s not a Sharpie mark on your palm.¨

BECOME MORE ORGANIZED
