I realized in all the cases where I was happy with the decision I made, there were two common threads: Surround myself with the smartest people who challenge you to think about things in new ways, and do something you are not ready to do so you can learn the most.

I had to think really hard about how to choose between job offers.

I've always liked simplicity.

You can't have everything you want, but you can have the things that really matter to you.

Employees, especially young people, want more than a paycheck.

You have to ruthlessly prioritize.

Your rhythm is what matters to you so much that when you miss it you're resentful of your work...So find your rhythm, understand what makes you resentful, and protect it.
