tinaturnercher - The Monday Morning Memo

Tina Turner, just a few months before her 70th birthday,
still rockin’ the house.

“

One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations.

Most Stanford graduates have very high expectations, and you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school. You were very successful. You were top of your class. Obviously, you were able to pay for tuition. And then you’re graduating from one of the finest institutions on the planet. You’re surrounded by other kids that are just incredible.

People with very high expectations have very low resilience. And unfortunately, resilience matters in success.

I don’t know how to teach it to you except that I hope suffering happens to you.

True greatness in individuals comes from character, not intelligence, and character is shaped by experiences of adversity.

And so if I could wish upon you — I don’t know how to do it — but for all of you Stanford students, I’d wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering.
