    If there ever was a title these young people need it’s this first line the other is trash. Also you don’t need to be a self made millionaire… You don’t need to be a model and you don’t need steroids.

    Don’t need to watch, I know the very predictable punchline. Lame talk of every wannabe or armchair expert ever. It’s the same trope as the Hollywood movie, the Greek myths & every hero story ever told.

    It’s fiction. You can’t MAKE luck.

    Amazing, HR-person dares to step out of her comfort zone, and immediately feels the need to share this devine experience with us mere mortals.
    In short: dare to be yourself. If jumping of a clif is your thing, jump. If it’s not, don’t. Just be yourself. That’s hard enough. 😉
    I’ve been in a professional environment for over 25 years, and where i’m from , there are NO stupid questions.
    It’s about business/educational culture.

    một nguồn cảm hứng, nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của việc chấp nhận rủi ro và phá vỡ các lối mòn truyền thống trong sự nghiệp. Graham khuyến khích người xem tập trung vào giá trị cá nhân, linh hoạt thích nghi và không ngại thử sức với những cơ hội mới, thay vì bị giới hạn bởi các quy tắc hay cấu trúc cứng nhắc. Thông điệp này rất phù hợp cho những ai muốn bứt phá và tạo dấu ấn riêng trong công việc.
