Negotiable job requirements
Apart from jobs in academic professions, like medicine or law, job requirements are largely negotiable — you just have to prove that you can bring value to the table.
People who aren’t willing to “break the rules” a little bit usually end up wasting years of time and money trying to achieve a goal they could have achieved with a lot less.

Impostor syndrome as a good thing
Embrace that feeling of inadequacy.

What’s “realistic” for you
... is entirely predicated on what you’ve been exposed to. There are so many things in life you take for granted that someone else would think is crazy and unrealistic.
Work alongside the best in your field, read their books, listen to their interviews, study what they did to get where they are — and eventually, those crazy unrealistic dreams will become realistic for you.

Career picking criteria
Don’t pick a career based on “average salaries” or employment numbers. When you’re striving to be great at what you do, the “averages” don’t matter.

Advancing in your career
In the beginning of your career, your technical skills matter the most. But as time goes on, those technical skills start to matter less. How you interact with people starts to matter a lot more.

Real education starts after the formal one
The real education begins after college. Everything you’ve learned in class is largely worthless in the real world.
Successful people read books and research papers, listen to podcasts, go to conferences and talk to other people who are doing big things. That’s how they’re able to “connect the dots” between seemingly unrelated subjects and use that insight to land more opportunities.

Exposure builds credibility
After you accomplish anything professionally, get online and write about it. Help someone who was once in your shoes trying to figure things out.
The bigger the audience you have, the more people will take you seriously.

Stand out from the crowd
No one gets extraordinary opportunities by taking the same approach everyone else takes.
The name of the game is noticing the ‘unspoken rules’ around you, and giving people what they want before they have to ask you. That’s how you win.
