In the final minute of a podcast hosted here on Dan Pink’s website, Twitter and Jelly co-founder Biz Stone was asked what three pieces of advice he would give to seventeen-year-olds. Here they are:

1. Failure. In order to succeed spectacularly you need to be willing to fail spectacularly.
2. Creativity. It’s an endless resource. You’ll never run out of it, so don’t be afraid to use it.
3. There is compound impact in altruism. Helping other people really is helping yourself. You shouldn’t think of it as giving away, whether it’s time or money. You should think of it as gaining something—and you’ll win.
