Silicon Valley is no-joke. Because it is so super fast
Take this video lecture that is 9:59.
I bolt through 5 books and extrapolate 2-10 years into the future. 9 minutes. 59 seconds.
How can you the newbie Singaporean undergrad hope to catch up, take notes and ask intelligible questions!!?!
You start with asking no-risk questions.
Super majority of people will dismiss this video
Majority of interested people will simply bookmark.
A small minority of people will watch and re-watch this video. They will make a public proclamation of mastery and like it.

Here is an example “NO RISK QUESTION” you can ask anywhere with OR WITHOUT PERMISSION.
/1/ (raise hand, fingers spread)
/2/ Yell: “CAN YOU REPEAT THAT!”
Try it.
Every time I’ve done it, the industry expert doing the ENGR 145 guest lecture says, “Thank you for the great question”.
You scream: “Repeat that?!”
Hunter Walk, Michael Dearing, Chris Douvos, Chris Kelly #GuestLecturing say, “Omg, good question. I’m glad you asked”
Lol, this works every time, 99% of the time!!
ENGR145’s two anchor videos move you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve
MOTIVATIONALLY LISTEN.
There are tips in my feed at Twitter dot com / larrychiang #MotivationalListening
You need to listen super well as an undergrad because you are trying to uncover a clear problem. This clear problem is what you get paid as an intern to do.
“But Larry Chiang, I’m willing to work for free. I just want the experience.”
LARRY CHIANG answer: Buddy, it’s easier to get a paid engineering internship, than a non-paid
HOW TO GET AN INTERNSHIP THE ENTREPRENEURIAL WAY
