Quotes:

“Work hard to have the life that you want. Don’t just accept the one that you’re given.” – DianaWu David

“It helps, in some ways, to realize that it’s an age of acceleration. You can’t have that trade-off of ‘if you do X, I promise you Y,’ because things are changing so quickly.” – Diana Wu David

“Those micro mentoring moments where people say, ‘Yeah, cool, keep going,’ are so important.” – Diana Wu David
