A few things I keep coming back to.

How I think about life

  1. You get one life. Do what brings you peace, and do not live it based on what others think of you.
  2. Your ceiling is not fixed — it comes down to how badly you want something.
  3. I care more about learning than winning.

How I think about relationships

  1. Treat people the way you want to be treated.
  2. Be honest.
  3. Assume positive intent. The person driving slowly may be an older person, a new driver, or just trying to be safe.

How I think about work

  1. At work, what you know is only half of it. How well you communicate matters just as much.
  2. Discipline beats motivation.
  3. Time to market wins.
