The Single Best Interview Question You Can Ask
“What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”
Peter Thiel, JD at Stanford Law School, had a fellowship (ThielFellowship of a sum $100,000) for college students to dropout.
“The best entrepreneurs know this: every great business is builtaround a secret that’s hidden from the outside.”
“If your goal is to never make a mistake in your life, you shouldn’tlook for secrets. The prospect of being lonely but right—dedicatingyour life to something that no one else believes in—is already hard.The prospect of being lonely and wrong can be unbearable.”
“The road doesn’t have to be infinite after all. Take the hiddenpaths.”
“All Rhodes scholars had a great future in their past.”
