What can a top-talent Purdue graduate, mechanical engineer teach us about living fully? A lot. Meet Zach White whose story of how his climb for career success led to an implosion in the rest of his life.
\n\n
The lessons are clear for each of us -
\nAlong the way you\u2019ll learn how humanity wins.
\n\n
Success doesn\u2019t come when you try to get smarter and work harder. Yes, learn. No, don\u2019t work harder. Work to become better.
\n\n
Beware of the danger of isolation. Everyone has something going on. What\u2019s happening in your life isn\u2019t something to shut yourself off from the world about. Shame is something you are perpetuating in yourself. Other people care. Reach out.
\n\n
Burnout doesn\u2019t happen in a moment. It happens over time as you burn more fuel than you\u2019re receiving. You have to replenish your stores; fill up your tank so that you can give again.
