- 9. • Advice 1: think about yourself and what you really care about! No
matter if others like it or need it. Just think about what you really
care about! Not what your mum or dad cares about, not what your
friends say is cool, not what your professor cares about, but what
YOU care about.
• Advice 2: find the right people! Surround yourself with the right
people! Try to get to know „new right people“! Both for your passion
and also for your blind spots – don‘t try to do everything yourself!
• Advice 3: Network! Network! Network! (just offer what you have and
don‘t try to pretend anything else!)
• Advice 4: Try to help people & care about them and then don‘t fall
over your own pride and ask for help yourself!
• Advice 5: Just do it!
