Value Creation

The only things that matter when it comes to succeeding in the marketplace are:

1. The ability to create value for others.
2. The ability to persuade others of your value creation potential.

It’s not your school, your grades, your network, your knowledge, or anything else you may have been told. Those things are only useful insofar as they help you do #1 or #2.

Let's stop calling them 'soft skills'

"...It's not about hard skills...For me, it is actually about soft skills... We made a list of what we were looking for, someone to work with...What I want is somebody who can see, who can speak clearly, who can be honest, who can transform themselves when necessary, who care about other people." - Seth Godin

How to tell your story

A man came upon a construction site where three people were working.  He asked the first, “What are you doing?” and the man replied: “I am laying bricks.” He asked the second, “What are you doing?” and the man replied: “I am building a wall.” As he approached the third, he heard him humming a tune as he worked, and asked, “What are you doing?” The man stood, looked up at the sky, and smiled, “I am building a cathedral!”

What's your story? How would you tell it?
