What Is Your Tennis Ball?
“This question, derived from
a terrific commencement speech
given at MIT last year by Dropbox founder Drew Houston,
is a good place to start because it cuts to the chase.
As Houston explained, “The most successful people are
obsessed with solving an important problem, something that
matters to them.
They remind me of a dog chasing a tennis ball.” To increase your
chances of happiness and success, Houston said, you must
“find your tennis ball—the thing that pulls you.”
