When I was in Singapore last week I found myself talking to many younger people who wanted career advice. Many of them felt constrained by the environment they (and I) grew up in: one that demanded returns on investment on every single action we made. ‘Does this internship lead to a prestigious job?’

I know I had a lot of privilege, but everything that eventually contributed to status / career came from the actions I took that I would call ‘returns on experiences’.
