Book excerpt: A revised and updated edition of the international bestseller Inspiring readers all over the globe to reimagine their future, this revised and updated edition of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 features new material to complement the classic text. Major life transitions such as leaving the protected environment of school or starting a new career can be daunting. It is scary to face a wall of choices, knowing that no one is going to tell us if we make the right decision. There is no clearly delineated path or recipe for success. Even figuring out how and where to start can be a challenge. As head of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig’s job is to guide her students as they make the difficult transition from the academic environment to the professional world—providing tangible skills and insights that will last a lifetime. Seelig is a wildly popular and award-winning teacher and in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 she shares with us what she offers her students –provocative stories, inspiring advice, and a big dose of humility and humor. These pages are filled with captivating examples, from the classroom to the boardroom, of individuals defying expectations, challenging assumptions, and achieving unprecedented success. Seelig throws out the old rules and provides a new model for reaching our potential. We discover how to have a healthy disregard for the impossible; how to recover from failure; and how most problems are remarkable opportunities in disguise. What I Wish I Knew When I Was Twenty is a much-needed book for everyone looking to make their mark in the world.

Download or read book What I wish I had known written by Laura Wiktorek and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What I wish I had known" We’re living the good life. What went wrong? When, and why? I'll keep searching for the answers, striving to help others, avoid the same gut-wrenching tragedy. Michael, my son and overachiever, was a scholar and an outstanding athlete, drawn to the military early on. Despite his sturdy outer-shell, Michael was gentle. His senior year, he'd coax me into signing parental consent to enlist; at seventeen. I recall crying! Michael chuckled, not mocking me, making light of his choice… Thanks, mom, don't worry about me. I'm not going to war. I'm not going to die. I'm just going into the Marine Corps. My terrible premonition evolved on September 11, 2001. Michael’s training just ended for Air Crew-Chief. He was assigned to the massive CH-53 Super Stallion Transporting-Helicopter. What I wish I had known… was that a helicopter crashed in Western Iraq and Michael (the air crew chief) wrote the ill-fated flight schedule, killing thirty-one men. He swapped out a more experienced crew member for a rookie. This story exams the psychological injuries my son sustained during his military service-the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) signs he was in severe distress. Veterans (like Michael) pride themselves in strength. Traumatic events can undermine their power-the ability to avoid dealing with emotions in the face of danger. Once emotions are buried, some veterans and first responders continue internalizing mental anguish instead of reaching out for help. Shockwaves spread-wide Michael’s in his prime, survived war, earned a master’s degree and in love, engaged. I’m stunned, why? Twenty-two veterans die by suicide daily, it’s a long-lasting statistic. Twenty-two but not you-not my Michael! I’d bet my life and savings on that! Mental fog set in, this time I reached out to Michael’s trusted friends (Korah Hoffman LMSW/MPA) and Erik Fries USMC Air Crew Chief/Brother in arms. Erik exposed me to the harsh reality of war. Korah shared her personal and professional struggle with Michael’s silent battle. If death wasn’t devastating enough, I’d breakdown at Mass, when our Catholic priest uttered “Suicides are damned to hell"" his words echoed from the pulpit! Tormented, I'll seek a medium. Naturally, I wanted to check in on my son. What I experienced was a life-changing revelation.
