Do You Have Any Advice For Students?

Find the question you can ask yourself to make sure you're on the right path, using the principles that matter most to you to find it.

For me, it was “where can I learn and grow as much as possible?” Others, it may be “where can I make the most money?” or “what’s the most prestigious path?”

I don’t judge what that question is, but it’s important to know yourself and figure it out.

There’s a great book called Principles by Ray Dalio, who's an incredibly successful hedge fund manager and entrepreneur. He’s written down a set of decision-making frameworks he uses in any investment or personal decision.

I actually don't like a lot of his principles, but that's not the point. The point is you should write down how you think about the world, so when you’re faced with a challenge, you can return to your framework.

For example, my principles are complexity, pragmatism, ordered chaos, accountability, transparency, and balance.
