What advice do you have for Harvard HES students, now that you have graduated?
– Be open to change
– Don’t hide from mistakes
– Be Positive
– Be Proactive
– Be Productive
– And one last piece of advice which has been a critical one for myself is: TO LEARN FROM EVERYTHING.
Remember every moment is an opportunity to learn from everyone around you, no matter their title. Pay attention when things go well; pay extra attention when they don’t, and watch how people react to it. Build relationships with the people who face problems by being their solution.
