A Unique Ability to Make a Difference

One of the things that I've used as a sort of guidepost in making decisions. And again, each people, people need to have their own internal compass on what is important to them. To me, what grew increasingly important as I move forward in life is to make a big difference in the world and specifically think about places where I have in some ways, a unique ability to make a difference. So not something that, you know, sure, I can go do good in the world by, you know, digging wells in Africa, but I'm not particularly good at, well, digging, so it's not going to be all that, all that helpful relative to having another person go and do the same thing. So I've always looked for opportunities where the experience, the skills, the mindset that I bring have a disproportionate leverage. I'm a big believer in leverage. So if people are facing decision points, I would encourage them to think about what do you bring to the table that is unique to the point that you can do something much better than the next best person, perhaps, or most of the next best people in that role?
