Go Uphill

When you’re cycling and come to a fork, it’s better to go uphill if you’re unsure of the direction because that means that on the way back, it's going to be easier.

Front-load your challenges in your career by doing difficult things. Take the hard classes and don’t worry about the grades.

Too many people are trying to optimize for optics and getting good grades.

But they’re missing out on learning how to fail and extracting value from those failures.

Go uphill and see what you can learn.
