Markel’s advice:

“Success is planned, not an accident. And as you succeed, learn how to communicate that success. Employers and graduate schools want people who know they’re good and how they’ll benefit the company or graduate program. So sharpen your communication skills and start asking yourself where you’re going and how you’re going to get there.”
