Hacks to take Away
- Be your authentic self: In a corporate environment, it’s important not to conform to the norm but instead be true to yourself and your own unique qualities. Authenticity stands out and is recognized by others.
- Follow your dream: Pursue your passion and have realistic goals. Transitioning from one career to another may require moonlighting and building relationships with mentors along the way.
- Take care of your health: It’s crucial not to overwork yourself and prioritize your well-being. Balancing work responsibilities and maintaining good health is essential for long-term success.
- Value the importance of sleep: Sleep is a free and powerful “drug” that provides a competitive advantage. Sacrificing sleep for productivity is counterproductive, and caffeine is not a sustainable solution.
- Embrace cinematic excellence and favorite films: Appreciating films that showcase cinematic brilliance, both old and new, such as Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, and films starring Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood. Additionally, TV show preferences include Seinfeld, The Simpsons, and Yellowstone, which showcases the beauty of America.
