In this talk Richard Lucas describes how ambitious people can prepare themselves for "opportunity readiness" even when their goals and purpose in life is not well defined. And how setbacks led him to understand that his biggest impacts came from working on other people's ideas, and how at the end of the day people's opinion of themselves is the one that really matters".
