My takeaways :)

My Favorite take-aways from Randy's speech.

When you’re screwing up and nobody’s saying anything to you anymore, that means they gave up. And that’s a lesson that stuck with me my whole life. Is that when you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Yourcritics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.

When it comes to men that are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do. It’s that simple. It’s that easy.

Obvious but often neglected :) ones are here.
(1) Get a feedback loop and listen to it. Your feedback loop can be this dorky spreadsheet thing I did, or it can just be one great man who tells you what you need to hear. The hard part is the listening to it. When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it.
(2) Show gratitude.
(3) Don’t complain. Just work harder.
(4) Be good at something, it makes you valuable.
(5) Work hard
(6) Find the best in everybody. One of the things that Jon Snoddy as I said told me, is that you might have to wait a long time, sometimes years, but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting no matter how long it takes. No one is all evil. Everybody has a good side, just keep waiting, it will come out.
(7) be prepared. Luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity.

If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.

From my personal experience, I have heard of people detesting hard work.. oh he/she's so uncool working long hours ... 95% of the time success is achieved by hard work :).. there's no short cut :)... so just work your ass off :).
