What You’ll Wish You’d Known

Paul Graham was asked (and then unasked) to give a talk to a high school.

He originally published this article 21 years ago and it’s just as accurate today.

This is what he was going to say:

What You’ll Wish You’d Known [Paul Graham] – “But there are other jobs you can’t learn about, because no one is doing them yet. Most of the work I’ve done in the last ten years didn’t exist when I was in high school. The world changes fast, and the rate at which it changes is itself speeding up. In such a world it’s not a good idea to have fixed plans.”
