Seek Out Those Who Overcome Obstacles

Anderson Cooper says he seeks out those who have overcome obstacles.
He says that as a reporter he has interacted with lots of people who have overcome life's hardships.
He says reporting is an intense experience. "You interact with people' you tell their stories and then they're gone. You move on to tell other stories." He notes that at times this can be difficult but it's part of the job.
He says he thinks the rise of bloggers is great because it represents the "democratization of news and information."
His advice to young people starting out is "get in earlier, stay later and work very hard." Anderson says that when he was starting out he tried to work harder than everybody else. And he says he still works very hard because "I know that there are people who are working very hard right now to get to the top."
