Every Opportunity Counts | Nishant Makhijani | TEDxUIUC

Nishant challenges us to think about every experience as a building block for the future and never turn our backs on an opportunity, even if it doesn't fit in our life goals. He takes us to a journey through his childhood and shares the most important advice he received, to surround himself with people who are smarter than him.

What opportunities define you? Who are the people who bring out the best in you?
