1. Anything you say before the word 'but' does not count
2. Efficiency is highly overrated; Goofing off is highly underrated.
Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic.
3. We tend to overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a decade. Miraculous things can be accomplished if you give it ten years. A long game will compound small gains to overcome even big mistakes.
4. Being enthusiastic is worth 25 IQ points.
5. Don’t be afraid to ask a question that may sound stupid because 99% of the time everyone else is thinking of the same question and is too embarrassed to ask it.
6. Being able to listen well is a superpower. While listening to someone you love keep asking them “Is there more?”, until there is no more.
7. Don’t ever work for someone you don’t want to become.
8. Don’t keep making the same mistakes; try to make new mistakes.
9. No one is as impressed with your possessions as you are.
10. About 99% of the time, the right time is right now.
