Sharon Kan, the CEO of Tikatok shared her “words of wisdom” with us in the Simmons SOM Entrepreneurship gathering. She is so inspiring and engaging!
1) Think bigger than the BIG
If you want to make world a better place to live, sure why not? Why settle for anything less?
2) Accept your failures (Embrace them if you can!)
As most of us might have experienced…it is NOT easy to fail.It is easy to quit once you fail. Difficult to move on. But even more difficult is to accept your failures, learn from them and make something beautiful out of your life. If you are not ready to fail, how can you be ready for success?
3) Tell your story with passion
I feel if only you believe in yourself, in your idea, can people believe you.
You may know this already, but these are some points to really think through.
She also read a poem which she said her 8-year old daughter suggested. Here is the poem:
The Voice
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.”
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you–just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.”
– Shel Silverstein
Am I ready to fail??? Do I listen to the voice inside?
