1. “Things are never as good or as bad as they
seem.”
2. Persistence matters more than talent. The
student with straight As is irrelevant if the student sitting next to him with
Bs has more passion.
Whenever I’m feeling like I need to prioritize what I’m doing or overthinking a
particular situation that is making me anxious...I always think, “Would it help?” That is the pivotal question that I
ask myself every day. If you put everything through that prism, it is a
remarkably effective way to cut through the clutter.
ANDREW ROSS SORKIN is a financial columnist for
The New York Times and the founder and editor-at-large of DealBook, an online
daily financial report published by the same. Andrew is also an assistant
editor of business and finance news at the NYT, helping guide and shape the
paper’s coverage. He is a co-anchor of Squawk Box, CNBC’s signature morning
program, and he is the author of the New York Times best-selling book Too Big
to Fail: How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—and
Themselves, which chronicled the events of the 2008 financial crisis. The book
won the 2010 Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book and was shortlisted for
the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize and the 2010 Financial Times Business Book of the
Year Award. Andrew co-produced the film adaptation of the book, which was
nominated for 11 Emmy Awards. He began writing for The New York Times in 1995
under unusual circumstances: He hadn’t yet graduated from high school.
