'Your dreams are yours to own'Goodarzi, who had earlier written about the problems he faced as a student, said that no one expected him to go to college, let alone lead a Fortune 500 company one day.
"I was in high school with a 1.9 GPA, everyone told me what I couldn’t do. No one expected me to go to college, let alone one day lead a Fortune 500 company," he said. "Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t accomplish."
'Take risks with different roles'According to Goodarzi, the best way to learn is to put yourself in new situations. "You won't love everything you try, and that’s okay. You might even surprise yourself and end up creating an entirely new map for your future," he said.
'You’re not always going to love everything you do, but you can always learn'
"My first internship was at a prestigious company, but I hated it. I couldn’t wait to leave each day," Goodarzi tweeted. This, however, made him realise what he didn't want in his career. "And that allowed me to determine my next steps," he added.
