Quotes from the above video that will be forever etched in my mind :

• "Friends come and go, enemies accumulate"
• "I am not at the Top, there is no summit, there's only the climb"
• "On which day of the week do most diets start? The answer is Tomorrow and the reason it's useful for you, coz you will always have enough time for the things you choose to prioritize. And so you have to decide what you are going to procrastinate and what you are going to prioritize if you want to achieve what you want to achieve".
• "No one is an authority on your potential but you."
• "Most people think one step at a time about their career decisions and you really want to expand your time horizon. Expand your time horizon over which you are thinking. Because if you make a series of relatively short-sighted decisions, you will make Tradeoff that are relatively safe, but you will end up in your mid-40s with a midlife crisis. So think about that arc of what you can do and if you only had one opportunity to make a career decision, maybe you want to be a little more conservative and you want to be careful. But that's not the way it is, you have one choice and another choice and another choice. And so it may be that the first opportunity out of the GSB is a little risky, and if it doesn't work out. As long as you work with great people and expand your network, and you open up more doors and more opportunities. And when you put that over an arc of a career, you are going to have a lot more fun."
• "Nothing wilts as fast as laurels that have been rested on. "
• "You need to leave the firm at a better place when you found it."
• There are 2 types of decision-making - reversible & irreversible. Irreversible decisions just require an enormous amount of thought and Pressure Testing. You need to take irreversible decisions very seriously. And the ones[reversible decisions] are less consequential. And you can reverse course very easily. And you should make those decisions fast and iterate and learn very quickly.
• Book Recommendation - Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl.
• Phrase - "Talent is far more distributed than opportunity"
• Sales is very important skill.
