Hacking Your Education

Speech by Dale J. Stephens

If you want to be inconspicuously average, go to college, turn in your homework, and graduate summa cum laude. You’ll have a college degree to your name, but you won’t be any closer to changing the world. The path to wild success does not involve jumping through hoops. If you want to succeed you cannot be a lemming.

We all have something that makes us different in one or another way - and society has trained us to be ashamed of our unconventional characteristic. By using your unique qualities to your advantage, you can turn the conformist paradigm on its head and rush along the path to success. Ultimately the only authority you need is your own, and by defining success for yourself you’ll make happiness readily achievable.
