And on the subject of school, a video by Seth Godin to university students at the Student Leaders Workshop. He talks about the 1% of graduates from Harvard who become entrepreneurs, advising aspiring entrepreneurs that: "You're not going to be able to do that by continuing to do what you're good at. The very thing that got you into school is not going to make this work...What you're gonna do instead is fail, over and over and over again... But every one of the cycles of failure is going to teach you something."
Some of my favorite parts: "What Acumen needs is competition -- good, smart competition... Acumen's goal is not to win; Acumen's goal is to change the world. Making change is addictive... Every one of you is capable of getting into med school if you want to, but that would be a bad decision because you're signing up to be a cog in a broken system."
Most tellingly: "Doing things that matter to people will change your life forever."
