This document appears to be notes from a class or seminar on designing one's future and creating opportunities. It discusses setting goals around travel, friends, jobs, money and fame. It provides two case studies - one of a student who completed a class project that turned into a real client, and one of a person who used Flickr tagging and Creative Commons to grow their network and later start a trip tracking site called Dopplr. It emphasizes creating opportunity through passion, goal-setting, organization, marketing and endurance.
