Doing What's Right For You

Liz Wessel is a former Googler, and at 26, already the CEO of her own startup. She attributes her success to two pieces of advice she received. The first was to say yes to taking risks and trying new things, and the second;  to not chase money but happiness.

INSIGHT
Eminently good piece of advice no doubt, but not everything that works for others, may work for you. So, before accepting the thoughts of others, ask yourself:
Are they
- resonating with me?
- in alignment with my values?
- applicable to me this stage of my life?
If yes, then embrace and practice the thoughts.

Each of Us Is Different

A post on Linkedin asks people to give an advice in 4 words. In the 3 months it's up, it has received 4000+ responses, each in some ways different from the rest. Presuming 20% of the messages may have had similar advice, that's a huge 3000+ different pieces of advice!

Life teaches us different lessons and shapes each of us differently. Reason a coach suspends judgement to look at the world from the coachee’s perspective. He brings to the coachee’s world an eye trained to spot gaps in her thinking. The coachee’s world does not change, but the coach has provided new eyes to look at it.
