𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗹 Most people wait for school or work to tell them what to do. That’s why they never get ahead. Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus and Anduril, gives one simple advice: Work on projects you truly care about. Why? 1- 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱. What you learn in class is often outdated. If you only follow that, you’ll always be behind. 2- 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿. When you build something for yourself—not for a grade or a job—you think smarter, go deeper, and improve faster. This is exactly what Palmer looks for when hiring at Anduril: “𝐈 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥.
