Looking Back: The 1 thing I wish I knew when I started my career. - I should have learnt how to say No. 2. What Makes a Good Social Media Practitioner: - Be a good sailor - Don't just ask what is happening ; ask what isn’t happening. Ask the right questions - Be an architect of value. Explore unusual paths - The best conversationalists are the best listeners - My favourite quote from Gattaca: "Never save anything for the swim back" 3. What keeps me going - Travel - Family - Growth 4. Remember to listen to your inner voice and be your own competition 5. What I wish can improve: - Distinguishing between signals & noise - Being less myopic Ending off with this quote from Transformers, "50 years from now when you look back at your life, don't you want to say you had the guts to get in the car?"
