If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be?
Find a good mentor and listen closely to their advice. Sometimes the person that gives you your first true harsh criticism may actually be your greatest supporter if you are willing to listen to what they have to say and you can get beyond potentially having your feelings or ego hurt.
Parting words:
Always be truthful and therefore you never have to worry about being caught in a lie. The only thing in life that we take to the grave is our honor and reputation so live a life that does everything possible to not damage those.
