I stand on the shoulders of giants. Get great mentors. Nobody can do it alone. Even if you can do it alone, nobody should do it alone.

Do not be daunted by the Old Boys Club. Stick out your hand and introduce yourself. Stand on what you know. Don't hesitate to sit at the table. Don't let imposter syndrome hold you back. When you know your stuff, step up.

Doing something meaningful that contributes to the greater good. It feels great when you can go home and say I did something good today.
