Wednesday Doodle: Uncertainty and Opportunity

October 24, 2012

This week's doodle - an exercise in hand-lettering - was inspired by a quote from Tina Seelig, who serves as Executive Director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. I just finished Seelig's book, What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World and boy, was it chock full of amazing insight and advice about tackling creative challenges, achieving success, and coping with failure. This particular quote resonated well with me as there is so much uncertainty when you start your own venture and you have a choice to embrace the uncertainty and see it as an opportunity or to run from it. I can't wait to start her latest book, inGenius.
