- Take a chill and think for the long term. Pick your battles wisely and it’s not cool to be stupid. It’s cool to do the hard things and stay ahead of the trend .
- - Noah Wintroub, VC, JP Morgan Chase
- Don’t focus on where you’re going. I used to think you needed to know what you wanted to be when you grew up. Turns out, that’s not true. I believe if you work hard and learn the most you can in whatever you’re doing, the next opportunity will reveal itself and you’ll know it when you see it.
- - Melanie Whelan, CEO, Soulcycle
- Focus on building knowledge, experience and confidence first. Rewards will come later.- Karen Meng, Managing Director, Bank of America

- I have come to believe that a person can truly just have one obsession at any given point in time. So, I’d encourage my 20-year-old self to not try to do too much, but focus on just one thing at a time and do it well. I have found that having a singular focus is extremely liberating, as it allows you to ignore everything else and spend all your time and energy on just one thing.
- - Apoorva Mehta, CEO, Instacart
- Don’t worry so much about where the path is going. Enjoy the journey and embrace the fact that pure recreation is productive in the long term.

- - Reshma Saujani, CEO, Girls who code
- Take big swings, don’t bet more than you are prepared to lose and don’t be so afraid to fail – it’s a necessary stop on the path to success.
- - Jared Kushner, CEO, Kushner Company
- A broad experience pays off. Be curious. - Ashifi Gogo, CEO, Sproxil
- Working the hardest is more important than being the smartest.
- - Jason Robins, CEO, Draftkings
- Everything that you think is the end of the world right now won’t even matter to you in two years.

- Try to have some fun. Life is about to get a lot harder…
- Meghna Suryadevara, VP Finance, GM
