What’s A Question You Love To Be Asked (Or Asking)?

The one question I enjoy being asked is “What are good ideas to start a career successfully and launch yourself into the ecosystem?”

When one starts his or her career, I've always said that there is nothing like working hard and showing up. These are pretty obvious, but not everybody practices them.

Show up before the boss gets in and stay until they go home. Take on new work with a smile. Volunteer to take on new work.

Young people do not walk into the boss's office and say to them, is there anything that I could be working on with you, or take something off your desk? Nobody does it. I don't know why. But the 1st person who does it wins because it's just such a notable commitment to self-improvement.
