Chelsea Clinton: Anger can inspire By: Katie Glueck May 21, 2014 03:47 PM EDT

A good first step for young people looking to change the world, says Chelsea Clinton, is to consider, “What makes you most angry? What pisses you off?”

Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, dished out that blunt advice on Wednesday at a conference on women and technology in Newport Beach, Calif.

The 34-year-old spent substantial parts of her appearance discussing challenges facing women and girls who want to break into technology fields.

She also said that one of the things that makes her angry — and therefore motivated — is that the world has yet to live up to the standards for advancing women as outlined in the platform from the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. It was there that her mother, now a leading possible 2016 presidential contender, famously declared, “Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.”

“For me the thing that makes me angry is, no country in the world has lived up to the promise of the Beijing platform,” Clinton said at the event, hosted by the National Center for Women and Technology Information.

At the Clinton Foundation, an initiative called “No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project” is partnering with a number of other organizations to determine how much progress has been made since Beijing, Clinton noted.

That effort is giving Clinton a productive outlet for that anger, she said.

“Think about what your talents and skills are,” she told the audience, “And match [them] with what makes you angry —or, if you’re differently constituted, to what makes you most happy and inspired.”

“What makes you most angry? What pisses you off?”

Well, if you ask your mom, she may say the fact that her husband cheats on her makes her angry and pisses her off.

Not such bad advice. Many entrepreneurs have said that the best way to success is to identify something that pisses you off and fix it. Do it well, and others will buy your solution.

Chelsea is angry because her mother snapped her fingers and told her that today she was to be angry.

Instructions for tommorrow will be forwarded in the morning.

And to think that she just got a doctorate from Oxford. I fear for this country without the leadership of the Clintons...

Why didn't Chelsea give it a try herself? That is to say, she could have been a EE major if she wanted, so why didn't she?

I might be more inclined to hear her thoughts on the subject under those circumstances.

This may be off topic, but has Chelsea figured out how to wear underwear yet?

But terrible advice for those on the left.

The entrepreneur builds up...then the radicals tear down what the entrepreneurs built because they are "angry" at others making money.

Chelsea would assuage her "anger" by grabbing more taxpayer funds for her cause.

Looks like Chelsea is trying to cover today for her mother in law who badly lost a PA primary last night.
