Some things I believe:
- Chop wood, carry water. Focus on what you can do and is right each day, not the outcomes.
- People can get much more done if they don’t care who gets the credit.
- Raise others’ aspirations—small effort, huge impact.
- Be kind and helpful. You can have everything you want if you help others first.
- Small complementary teams accomplish more than lone stars.
- Human beings can do a lot more than we think.
- Pain and suffering build resilience and character. 力求上进.
- Reliability (doing what you say) takes you far.
- Healthy relationships with family and friends make us happy. You don’t need that much.
- Context always matters.
