I was part of a panel today that included Coach K and Sergey Bubka, who still holds the outdoor/indoor world records in pole vaulting. We sat on a stage and fielded questions from Olympic coaches who wanted to learn more about maximizing an athlete’s potential. I learned quite a bit from the answers of the panel members. Sergey in particular talked about never being satisfied. How every day is a new day. This is a man who broke his own record 35 times!!! He talked about his hunger to want to do more; to learn more and to be more. Very inspirational.

I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals. As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

Look for your passion. What makes you excited? What turns you on? ... Go towards companies that you really like, really admire ... What do you admire about them? Spend if you can an internship there, or just knock on the door and say: 'Hey, can I work here for cheap? ... Find organizations that move your spirit if you can. Work along side them ... And have fun. There's so much fun to be had ... When you spend 95% of your life in a work environment, it can't be dour.
