To the unfamiliar eye, Mark Cuban seems to be a maverick among men. That is probably a decently accurate description of him. To every man, there are many sides, and this is the one he tends to let shine out. What is he really like? Who knows? Can anyone but his closest friends, family, and business partners? As with anyone made famous via the media, we get one version of him. So, this is that version. Accurate or not, this is the way he is perceived by most.
Mark began working for his money when he was 12 years old, selling garbage bags door to door so he could buy a pair of expensive sports shoes. In high school, he took on various jobs (everything from bartending to disco instructing - odd, but cool) and left high school early to start college ahead of the pack. He studied in both Pittsburg and later Indiana, graduating with a major in Business Administration. As you can see, his interests were far-ranging and dynamic - a trait that persisted over the years.
When it comes to getting a job, you really need someone to vouch for you. You also need ideas. You can get both when you effectively network with the right people. When you show that you are an impressive individual with the right priorities, they will often be more than willing to get you out there into the workforce. If you are really impressive, you will find that people come to you just to tell you about job opportunities that could be of interest to you. Really what you are aiming for is a cheer squad, a team that is on your side, and a group that is invested in you as much as you are in yourself.
Nursing school is the time to make mistakes and learn from them. While in clinicals or in class, put yourself out there and try. Answer questions if you think you know the answer. Volunteer to try new procedures. The best way to learn is by trying, failing and then correcting your mistakes later on. If you do not try while you are a student, you may find yourself making mistakes while you are caring for real patients on your own. Clinical experience is the perfect opportunity to try new things and be corrected by nurses who know what they are doing.
While overall a pretty good guy, his passion sometimes gets the best of him. He is particularly well known for his antics at Dallas Mavericks games. Rather than sitting up in a glass booth, he sits right down there on the bench, shouting away the moment the game gets underway. He has been fined multiple times, total costs soaring above a million dollars. Often criticized for his behavior, he at least is generous enough to match his fines with donations to charities as a sort of apology.
When it comes to networking you better have your ducks in a row because it can reach your family life, your career, your academic endeavors, and your overall influence on society.
