Don't measure you're progress using someone else's ruler.

I've often measured my progress and success by the standards set out by those around me but if I could go back and tell myself one peice of advice it would be NOT TO!

What advice would you give your younger self?

Some good points here on the damaging undertow of a “nice” company culture. Cultivate a “kind” culture over a “nice” one. https://t.co/EOsc2ckICU
