From Sam Altman (2019) "How to be successful." (Quote of the Week)

 

"Quote of the Week" is leisure reading in my assignment reminder emails to my students.

"One of the great joys in life is finding your purpose, excelling at it, and discovering that your impact matters to something larger than yourself."

Sam Altman's 2019 essay details the mindset that propelled him to become the CEO of OpenAI and earned him the title "ChatGPT King" (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/31/technology/sam-altman-open-ai-chatgpt.html).

The quote above is from the section "Work Hard," one of the 13 principles for success outlined in his essay. 


He exemplifies what he says, particularly the following:


"Getting good at communication --particularly written communication-- is an investment worth making. My best advice for communicating clearly is to first make sure your thinking is clear and then use plain, concise language."


Altman's essay serves as a prime example of effective business communication. This essay will be beneficial for your personal and professional growth.
