Rohit Bhargava put together a list of tips for soon-to-be graduates. For those of you who are graduating this summer like me, do go check it out. FOr those in Singapore, you had better read it because we are not getting the same quality of graduation speeches as long as the speechmaker continues to come from the public sector.

And I really like this comment by Mike King in the same post:

I would add 2 things: First, you may have no idea now what really fuels your fire. You should stay on the course you’re on long enough to show your talent and commitment, and to pick up some real world skills. If you discover another passion you’d rather pursue, go for it - just make sure you’ve put in at least a year at your first job. And don’t let someone else define you - people have a tendency to define you interms that are convenient for them. Know yourself and pursue your passions with vigor.
Second, build a network. Understand now that other people are as vital to your success as you are to theirs. Build relationships through authenticity, and always be ready to give first. Whether you believe in Karma or not, believe this; what goes around really does come around.
