>> It's tough, the worlds tough and nobody cares how you feel about it.
You know there were plenty of days that I woke up feeling really sorry for myself,
ecause I was smart or gifted, or a great student.
But nobody was really there very eager to give me some sort of shoulder to cry on.
It was a really hard lesson and a valuable one.
So I think that one just has to be learned.
Some people learn it when they're 23 I hope you learn it when you're 23.
maybe people learn it when they're 12 you know.
I think those people are, that may even be the key ingredient is those folks
that really had the hardship, they know never to take anything for granted.
But I think that my advice for any sort of student leaving college right now
or leaving graduate schools or whatever sort of academic tier they're doing,
is that in many ways getting your degree is just a cost and a price of doing business.
It's your entry, it's your key, the door is open but everything else is up to you.
And that's a scary proposition for allot of people, you have to be prepared
or at least willing to accept the fact that you're going to be crafting your own narrative.
You're going to be writing your own verse here, nobody else is going to do it
for you necessarily and you better be ready to take on that challenge.
