- - story about parents in ireland not having any place to eat, walking into a local pub, just picking up the knife and boning it\n
- - not only did they eat the fish, they didn’t die from the bones, and they do it all now...from making dumplings from scratch to improvising with ingredients\n
- \n- It’s all about taking things into your own hands - if you will it, they will come.\n
- What can we learn?\n- If you want something, it’s up to you to passionately own that challenge, pick up the knife and bone it, and keep trying until you get what you want. The fact is, you’ll probably suffer embarassment, self-doubt, and a few other unpleasant things, but if you use the tools at your disposal (including other people) then you’ll figure it out and reach an outcome that makes you proud.\n
- why does this matter?\n- no one will do it for you\n- learn by doing\n

- figure out what you have to offer\n know thyself - balance between what you have and what you want to have, i.e., “non-technical one in the fam”\n
- “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!” Maya Angelou\n\n3. Figure out who can help you get it.\n do your research // get all up in people’s business - who can help you mesh one and two\n who can help you get what you want and what’s in it for them?\n
- be humble...and overly confident\n I’m certainly not embarrassed to speak in Spanish to the guys at the corner deli near my office, because, even though they say things I can’t understand and chuckle under their breath when I say something incorrectly, they give me my veggie wrap for $5 instead of the official $6.75. \n
- practice - find opportunities to experiment\n keeprecipes, driving stick to schools\n
- “At first dreams seem impossible, then improbable, then inevitable.” – Christopher Reeve\n“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.” Dalai Lama\n\n if at first you fricasee, fry, fry a hen\n try again and again - can’t get discouraged\n\n
- “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”\n~ Albert Einstein\n learn from your mistakes, only make new ones\n
- you’re allowed to change your mind\n when you learn (i.e., Wesleyan; b school vs. startup), adapt and move on\n
- collaborate - corollary to seeing who can facilitate you getting what you want\n you don’t have to do it alone - it doesn’t matter who comes up with the brilliant idea or how to do it as long as YOU do it\n
- “A goal is a dream with a deadline.” Napolean Hill\n give yourself a deadline\n
