It won’t always be this way.
13 PRINCIPLES
WHAT I LEARNED
Not rules for someone else’s life, but principles I test against my own actions.
Mistakes are not always necessary. But once we have made them, an even greater mistake is to learn nothing from them.
An explanation is not an excuse.
Forgiveness does not mean blind trust.
Give an opportunity quickly. Give trust gradually.
Do not define a person only by their past.
Do not define a person only by someone else’s opinion of them either.
Look at the actions.
Intuition is a signal, not proof.
Freedom is choice + knowledge + responsibility.
If a person cannot see the path, show them the possible paths. Do not choose for them.
A platform should create value between people, not merely stand between them and extract value.
If you receive an opportunity, pass it on.
THE HARDEST TEST
Actions.
A principle has value only when it changes a specific choice: how we work, how we treat people, how we admit a mistake, and what we do with the opportunity we received.
