How to Play in the World Cup

| principles | work |

There are two ways to play in the world cup. You can either qualify or you can host the games.

I see this as an analogy for a career in the tech industry. The world cup is “a seat at the table”. If you want to be an executive in a tech company you can climb your way to the top or you can take a shortcut and start your own company.

Just remember, if you happen to be playing in the world cup as a host, perhaps you should not be the one giving advice to other people on how they can qualify.
