"Life rarely changes in a positive way without an increase in responsibility. That can mean taking ownership of your health or committing to a relationship or starting a business. If you want the trajectory to change, the amount of responsibility usually has to change." - J Clear

With #ProjectSquad completed for 2021, one takeaway for #girlsinSTEM we'd like to share -- from one of today's speakers @AliceShaugh -- is that believing in yourself and trusting your own decisions is important. Advice is advice, "not gospel", as she put it so well!

The Wisdom Paradox “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” — Albert Einstein The more you learn, the more you are exposed to the immense unknown. This should be empowering, not frightening. Embrace your own ignorance. Embrace lifelong learning.

The Effort Paradox You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless. Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice. Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

In the early days of a tech startup “listen to users” is almost always right, but after a while it doesn’t get you very far. The best startup leaders have to make calls that not everyone will like (or even understand) at first; often because they see something others don’t.

So let’s just be clear about these new restrictions . When the indoor dinning eventually opens and If I’m 21 and not vaccinated, I can work in a restaurant and walk around serving customers for eight hours indoors but when my shift ends I can’t sit down as a customer. #Brilliant
