Jared Kushner

Luckily in Washington, there's no shortage of amazing communicators.

I think there were a lot of people...

who are much better at me than being communicators.

So I was very happy that they were willing to do it because it wasn't something that I had a lot of experience with or necessarily I thought I was very good at.

And so I kind of just did my job and just focused on getting things done.

Number one is I would say you just have to work hard at everything you do.

Um, number two, I would say never stop learning and always try to say yes more than you should go out of your comfort zone.

And I think just, just, you gotta work hard at everything you do.

And, and, and if you're going to take something on, do it the best you can.

You know, one of the lessons I write about in the book from my father was, I remember I was going for a job interview and he asked me, he says, well, what time do

are you leaving to the job interview?

Is that nine o'clock?

I said, I'll leave at eight o'clock.

He said, well, what if there's traffic?

I said, dad, I've done this drive a thousand times.

Like there's never traffic.

He said, what if there's an accident?

I said, I can't control that.

He said, Jared, the only excuse you ever have for being late is that you didn't leave early enough.

And I just think it's something where if you want to accomplish something, you know, a lot of people I hear, they complain about what other people do or why it's hard or why it's impossible.
