What people keep from Stanford

Keep looking, don't settle — not as a platitude, but as the practical instruction for finding work worth doing. Like any great relationship, you'll know when you've found it, and it just gets better as the years roll on.

Career

You can't connect the dots looking forward — you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future, and that belief gives you the confidence to follow your curiosity even when it leads you off the well-worn path.

Life

I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love.

Career

Remembering you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose — almost everything else, all external expectations, pride, fear of embarrassment, just falls away, leaving only what is truly important.

Mindset

Your time is limited, so don't waste it by living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
