Eric Schmidt: “Find a way to say ‘Yes’ to things.” 

Speaking to new Boston University grads, Eric Schmidt the former CEO of Google shared his thoughts on the importance of being open. “Even if it’s a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new and make a difference in your life — and likely in others’ lives as well,” he says. “Yes is what keeps us all young. It’s a tiny word that can do big things. Say it often.”
