cent
32. Be a Good Human Being

An ounce of loyalty is better than a ton of cleverness;
If you work for a party or for its leader –

Otherwise, one day a strong wind will blow you off, and

44. Next Steps
1. Now you’ve accomplished something great and
honorable and important here at VBI, and it’s
time for you to move on to what’s next.
2. You have an abundance of opportunities before
you—but don’t spend so much time trying to
choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss
the right opportunity.
3. Recognize that there will be failures, and
acknowledge that there will be obstacles. But
you will learn from your mistakes and the
mistakes of others, for there is very little
learning in success.

46. A New Journey
1. You are at the starting point of a wonderful
journey. But it’s a journey that can only
begin with your decision to embark.
1. The unspoken requirement of a
commencement is that you now must
commence.
2. There are countless contributions and
achievements that never occurred, all due
to a failure to begin.
47. 1. And sometimes there’s an opportunity to
achieve a major breakthrough with a completely
new idea that re-defines the subject.
2. But whether it’s evolution or revolution, there’s
always a better way to build a computer, or map
a genome, or liberate a country, or take a
basketball team to the Final Four.
3. Just work to understand the world around you.
Read books. Read websites. Read other people.
Circle the pitfalls and highlight the
opportunities. Then build a vision of how it
could all be better and work like hell to make
it happen.
4. We are fortunate to live in a country that accepts
and even encourages experimentation and new
ideas.
48. Willingness to try, and to fail, and to learn
1. With the understanding that you will face
tough times and amazing experiences, you
must also commit to the adventure.
2. Just have faith in the skills and the
knowledge you’ve been blessed with and
go. Because regrets are born of paths never
taken.
3. Then, as you start your journey, the first
thing you should do is throw away that
store-bought map and begin to draw
your own.
49. Decision Making
1. In Making decisions your mind may be your worst enemy.
2. Decision makers display strong bias toward alternatives
that perpetuate the status quo
3. We tend to subconsciously decide what to do before
figuring out why we want to do it
4. A dramatic or traumatic event in your own life can also
distort your thinking
5. Over confidence about your accuracy lead to bad decisions
The hidden traps
1. Anchoring
2. Stattus quo
3. Sunk Costs
4. Confirming evidence
5. Estimating & Forecasting
50. Relationships
1. Remember that the road ahead is paved with relationships..
2. The greatest mistake you can make is thinking you can do it all by
yourself.
3. Surround yourself with talented people who challenge convention, offer
new ideas and relentlessly drive for improvement.
4. Try never to be the smartest person in the room. And if you are, I
suggest you invite smarter people … or find a different room. In
professional circles it’s called networking. In organizations it’s called
team building. And in life it’s called family, friends, and community.
5. We are all gifts to each other the most rewarding experiences come from
relationships.
51. "Now, you go to the study table.“
"I'll meet you at the study table' “
When you deal with youngsters, when you
get into jobs of any kind, don't send people
to do it,
meet them there and help them do it, and
you'll be amazed how it works.
Aao Jao
Walk behind!
52. ‘BEING PART OF your TEAM MEANT
THAT you HAVE TO KNOW THEM’
"Together" is the thing that gives you
the build-up to get ready to go again.
And in your lifetime, how well you can
work with people will depend on how
quickly you get back to them and get
together.
Teamwork – one minute
53. 1. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life.
2. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with
the results of other people's thinking.
3. 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.
4. Everything else is secondary.

7. Two perspectives
55. Motivation’
1. Motivation comes from working on things and working
with people we care about.
2. In order to care about someone, you have to know
them. You have to know what they love and hate, what
they feel, not just what they think.
3. If you want to win hearts and minds, you have to lead
with your heart as well as your mind.
56.
57. If you are unsure of what your dream might
be—either because you are afraid to dream
or because you somehow lost your dream
along the way—then start preparing yourself
to receive your dream by doing five things to
put yourself in the best possible position to
receive a dream.
Once you do these five things, focus on
VBI is discovering your dream. As you do, keep this
Foundation for in mind: 'A dream is what you desire if
a dream anything and everything is possible.'

of people and things that inspire you.
4. Hero Preparation: Read about and
try to meet people you admire and who

58. Pursuing that goal
But if you want to inspire people to
participate, you have to show more than
numbers; you have to convey the human
impact of the work – so people can feel what
saving a life means to the families affected.
60. EXCELLENT CAREER ADVICE: ‘GET ON A
ROCKET SHIP’
When companies are growing quickly and
having a lot of impact, careers take care of
themselves If you’re offered a seat on a
rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on.”
LOOK FOR GROWTH, IMPACT AND MISSION. MOVE
SIDEWAYS, DOWN, ON AND OFF
