    Top 3 lessons I learned since I graduated college 10 years ago!

    10 years ago today, I graduated from college. Here are the top 3 lessons I learned that changed my life and perspective. Your career is a marathon and not a sprint. As someone who is always moving fast, always wanting more this was a hard lesson to learn. Every year I would set massive goals, try to accomplish them all, and fail to make much progress. What I learned is that we often overestimate what we can do in a year but massively underestimate what we can do in a lifetime. So the key is to focus on only 3 priorities at a time. Life is a trade-off between time and money. We are born poor but with all the time in the world, but when we die, if we did life right, we die with a lot of money but no time. So the lesson here is that you are trading your time for money at the begging of your career. But the problem is that time is the most valuable resource and is limiteed. The sooner you can go from trading time for value, the sooner you take charge of your life. Failure is a good thing, not a bad thing. Like most young people starting their careers, I was afraid to fail. I was afraid to tell my boss that I did not know the answer. I thought making mistakes was a bad thing. But in fact, mistakes and failures are the best lessons. Every failure I have had has been my most prominent teacher and source of motivation. Show me someone who has not failed, and I will show you someone who has never done anything remarkable. So don’t be afraid to fail. To me, you either win or you learn but never fail!!
