Everyone of you could get into medical school, but that would be a bad decision because you’re signing up to be a cog in a broken system. We’re not going to run out of doctors. Let someone else be a doctor. Your job is to figure out how to lead. How to connect people. How to break rules that won’t get you into too much trouble. Don’t expect that on the 2nd day the president of the University is going to call and say how I can help, I heard what you’re doing, it’s wonderful, would you like to use our auditoruim. Instead what you’re going to do is fail over and over and over again. Because if it was easy everyone would have done it already. It’s not easy, that’s why you’re here. But everyone of the cycles of failues is going to teach you something. You’re here because you’re going to do something that we don’t have the formula for and then everyone is going to copy you. But you’re going to have to decide first and I hope you do.
