My five tips for young people for success

1 Do what you love. Money isn’t everything. You need to find a job that you enjoy — that excites you.

2 Take risks and make mistakes. And learn from those mistakes. If you don’t do that, you won’t grow. Don’t go through life sitting back and not being a risk-taker.

3 Demand to be managed. Demand that your managers make you better. It’s their challenge to mentor you and teach you. It’s your responsibility to make sure they do that.

4 Tell people what you think. Don’t just sit back or be intimidated. You need to do it tactfully, but tell people what you think.

5 Maintain your reputation. Always do what’s right for your client and your company and your own reputation. Success is built on honesty and integrity. And you should do whatever it takes to maintain your reputation.

5) Agree
