Simple yet a very powerful message.
A note to young leaders. What do Madonna, Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift all have in common? They all knew at a very early age what they wanted to dedicate their life to. Taylor Swift: “I think I first realised I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and karaoke contests, and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time.” This is the power that comes to you when you know who you are and you know what you want. The universe is malleable, it bends in the direction of a fierce, unclouded will. It seems to me that in the annals of literature dedicated to the study of success, the Socratic injunction to “know thyself” is all too often overlooked.
