【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ink of the IITarchitecture graduates who have been reshaping the skylines of cities worldwide。 Think of theIIT engineering and business graduates who are now reshaping the world of smartphone appsthat drive our social interactions， financial transactions， and media consumption。
Whether you are from Milwaukee or from Mumbai， from Chicago or from Shanghai， from Paris orPanama City， you have the opportunity to bring your act to the global stage！ Imagine thatyou have no boundaries， and please do not set mental boundaries for yourself – they are evenworse。
But let me add a word of caution： taking “smart risks” and reinventing yourself also meansleaving room for the unexpected， for the perfectly unplanned。 And that is particularly true inbusiness and technology。
Quick question： did you know that the world’s biggest hotel pany does not own anyhotels。 that the world’s biggest taxi pany does not own any cabs。 that the world’s biggestnews agency does not own any newspapers。 Which panies am I talking about？ Of course，you all know the answer： Airbnb， Uber and 。
Only a few years ago， these panies did not exist and it would have been unthinkable toeven ask a question like that。 But ever since a little pany called Amazon。 started sellingbooks online， we have e to expect the unexpected。 Disruption – through technology andmarket forces – is the only known variable。 Everything else is guesswork。
There is only so much in life that you can plan and foretell。 I am not suggesting that you canlean back and relax。 Quite the opposite。 It was Thomas Jefferson who said： “I am a greatbeliever in luck and I find the harder I work， the more I have of it”。
2。 Standing up for your values and ideas
This brings me to my second story – about standing up for your values and ideas。
It does not always work。 For example， I highly respect my fellow human beings and cannotaccept the death penalty。 So I decided to go to law school in Paris to bee a criminal lawyerand defend death penalty cases。 So much for my own values。 In the meantime， a newPresident was elected in my country whose first action was to eliminate the death penalty。Never mind， I pursued my goal。
As a young lawyer， I interviewed with the best law firm in the country。 I was told that I washired at a good salary， but that I would never make partner。 When I asked why， they told meit was because I was a woman。 So I looked at them fiercely， walked out the door， ran down thestairs， and never looked back。 I should have said thank you。 I felt much stronger， even with nojob。
In many ways， a situation like that is inconceivable in today’s corporate world。 Any recruiteruttering these words would almost certainly face a discrimination lawsuit。
There are many values and ideas that are worth standing up for。 Two things – including respectfor others and gender equality – have always mattered to me。 they matter to me every day。
