Principles for career building: 1. Take 2-3 year long shots and aspire to be the best in what you do (forget the past and future) 2. Work on the edge - areas which will expand and open more doors 3. Work with people you aspire to become over time Credits - @pratikpoddar

Usually start my pitch calls asking if things are safe and okay. Met a young founder today who’s dad passed away last Sunday. When I offered to postpone the call, he declined, saying he has to learn to live with this. Wish I could have 1% of courage and resilience he carries.
