Amazing personality and insightful.
Start inherently positive (optimist), resilient, look for opportunities to grow and contribute, enable and hold experts accountable, play to your strengths, try new things with little risks - learn & pivot (if failing), and listen to expert advice & get great mentors (because you can’t learn all by yourself)
