THE START-UP OF YOU
Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn and perhaps the most admirable person in Silicon Valley, just published a new book -The Start-Up of You. It is a good read (despite the dull cover) and translates many of the principles of entrepreneurship into practices that everyone can adopt.
"The fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with people who are already the way you want to be.""No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you're playing a solo game, you'll always lose out to a team.""When you're doing work you care about, you are able to work harder and better."
Pro bono service creates the opportunity for professionals to do work that they care about in a team with people they admire. Clearly, Reid is a pro bono junkie.
