- Question your most fundamental beliefs. You are most blind to evidence that contradicts them.
- Solve the most important problems, not the easiest or most comfortable ones.
- Don’t assume you know it all. Be curious, gather information, seek disconfirming evidence, and triangulate opinions. Be open to being wrong.
- Winning matters more than your ego. The best idea won’t always come from you. Don’t let pride prevent you from recognizing it.
- Going in the right direction matters more than moving fast. Take time to validate your direction. It may save you years.
- Being unhappy doesn’t make you make smarter decisions, so you might as well be happy. Same goes for being unhealthy.
