Quick summary of what we learned together on Network Capital
What we read, wrote, published this week
Before we get started, here is a quote that had us thinking all week.
“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”
― Anais Nin
Launching the 6th Cohort of the ‘I don’t know what I want to do with my life’ Fellowship
There is no formula for self-discovery. There have, however, been some attempts in the form of psychometric tests, algorithms and guided medical trials. No success stories so far but perhaps that isn’t such a bad thing. It will be a tad disappointing to know that our professional futures can be charted out by rudimentary algorithms. That said, are these rudimentary algorithms any worse than current ways of figuring out what next? Who knows..
We don’t want to make this a theoretical discussion. Let’s focus on figuring out what to do with this one crazy life that we have.
Most of life is a search for who and what needs you the most.
