“Pick something and make it great”
In a 2011 interview with the SocialTimes, current Yahoo president and CEO Marissa Mayer revealed the best advice she ever received:
My “friend Andre said to me, ‘You know, Marissa, you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself to pick the right choice, and I’ve gotta be honest: That’s not what I see here. I see a bunch of good choices and there’s the one that you pick and make great.’ I think that’s one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever gotten.”
