Being Amazing with the Israeli Green Building Council (ILGBC) – Mel’s Ten Tips

Identify your top skill and passion and try to align them. Would Bill Clinton have made a great sax player?

Have a look at your Achilles’ heel. Treat it as a launching pad. Do something about it. Churchill became a famous orator, although he had a lisp.

Or how about Django Reinhardt who played amazing guitar with two fingers?

Become a great storyteller,

…and an even better listener.

Practice OCD – observation, curiosity and doubt. Like George de Mestral.

Turn your hobby into your profession.

Think between boxes. Be lateral and associative.

Learn languages.

Don’t be afraid to ask the question (as Jeff Pulver says, “If you don’t ask, the answer is no”).

Work hard. Get lucky. “Suck your luck from out of the muck.”

Connect with your inner child. Explore, ask questions, make mistakes, persist.

Get involved in the race. The human race.
