A revised and updated edition of the international bestseller Inspiring readers all over the globe to reimagine their future, this revised and updated edition of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 features new material to complement the classic text. Major life transitions such as leaving the protected environment of school or starting a new career can be daunting. It is scary to face a wall of choices, knowing that no one is going to tell us if we make the right decision. There is no clearly delineated path or recipe for success. Even figuring out how and where to start can be a challenge. As head of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig’s job is to guide her students as they make the difficult transition from the academic environment to the professional world—providing tangible skills and insights that will last a lifetime. Seelig is a wildly popular and award-winning teacher and in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 she shares with us what she offers her students –provocative stories, inspiring advice, and a big dose of humility and humor. These pages are filled with captivating examples, from the classroom to the boardroom, of individuals defying expectations, challenging assumptions, and achieving unprecedented success. Seelig throws out the old rules and provides a new model for reaching our potential. We discover how to have a healthy disregard for the impossible; how to recover from failure; and how most problems are remarkable opportunities in disguise. What I Wish I Knew When I Was Twenty is a much-needed book for everyone looking to make their mark in the world.

I am writing this book because I messed up, and if it wasn't for me opening my mind and having a few people around me take the time to truly love me and help me develop, even in my worst times, I would have been a complete failure. Although I cannot physically be involved in your life, I desire that me-taking the time out to put this book together for you-will have the same and even greater impact on your life. As you're reading this book, I want you to remember that no matter where you are in your life, you have hope. If you are not perfect while or after reading this book, no worries because each breath is a new beginning, and no one is perfect to begin with. The main difference between winners and losers is that losers quit. You will never get to where you want to be if you quit. Everyone falls, but champions get back up. Are you a champion? YES! So, let's get back up, and make things happen!

I found out how to make it work and I made it work.""Deadlines put a certain level of pressure on us to perform. Without these deadlines, we just do what we want at sometimes unacceptable paces""You see, a partner cannot demand what he cannot give. If I expect you to go one mile for me, it should mean I can or have gone one mile for you too""Partners are so called because they join forces to achieve a common goal. More often than not if there is nothing being worked towards, it becomes a boring exercise. ""You will not find many people who will go through your toughest time with you and still carry a smile. Bill is the kind who will walk into a room when all others are leaving just to stand in support of you."
