Behind every great product there’s at least one engineer who knows the entire stack, takes problems personally, and jumps in and solves them.
Without regard to ownership, credit, or chain of command.
If you don’t know who this is in your company, I have bad news for you…
Saying ‘Yes’ is a withdrawal from your energy account.
‘No’ is the deposit you’re making into your goal account.
“People think focusing is saying yes to the thing that you want to achieve, but it’s actually saying no to a hundred other good ideas” - Steve Jobs
A mind that is settled,
A character that is at peace with itself,
Will always be home
Wherever it is
Both in location and in time.
- Seneca
Just as to want to survive a natural disaster is not enough to become prepared for one, to desire happiness is not enough to avoid its opposite.
To be swept away by your faults is blameworthy and is your responsibility.
Waste no more time arguing what a good person in. Be one
“If one is firm in one’s attitude to uncertainty - secure in themselves, why should one be disturbed by the instability and fluctuation of fortune?”

Imagine a competitor you’d never want to go against.
Focused
Persistent
Always learning
Always improving
Relentless
Says no to everything but that which makes him stronger
You know what he looks like
You know how he acts
You know who he associates with
Great, now become him.
There is no way that’s more productive to interact with someone than to give credit where credit is due.
Including yourself.
Treat yourself like someone you’re responsible for looking after.
If shortcuts worked, training would be pointless.
If there was really a magic formula, working would be pointless.
You win by being better.
You get better by working harder.
The pathway of the most self-sacrificial responsibility is in accordance with the Christian path.
Aim up.
Carry your cross.
Invite the spirit of forward movement to reside in you.
Listen for the call to adventure.
Tell the truth.
Get out and make something of the world.
It’s the belief that something can / will work for you that makes it work.
Most people are passive and neutral:
They try and test if systems work rather than trying to make it work for them.
Is it a ‘system’ problem or a ‘me’ problem?
Winners win. Regardless.
