Goals and some beliefs

Goals

I want to make the world a little better in three ways:

What this means to me:

What this means to me:

The key question for this goal is: “If my funeral were held next week, who would attend and what would they say?”

What this means to me:

Use creativity, knowledge, and communication to develop solutions to problems worth solving.

The key question for this goal is: “How much value am I creating for the world?”

You do no good to anyone by merely observing. Show up!
Always keep your integrity and honesty, even when it costs you. Shortcuts are worthless, and falsehood is slowly revealed in the end.
Status is fake and temporary. Focus on substance and on doing work that is worthwhile.
Once in a while, set aside every concept you have read online and reason from experience and from what you have seen and done. (For example: What are the best decisions you have ever made? The worst? Why? Can you apply those lessons now?)
Joy is often underrated. The best and most creative work grows from joy and enthusiasm. You can feel it in your body.
Know your “triggers”: what turns you into the worst version of yourself.
However bad things get, this too shall pass.
There are people after whom you feel energised and ready to conquer the world or climb a mountain. They are rare, but they exist. Find them and befriend them.
Doing as many activities as possible every day is a way of extending your life.
Most intelligent people want status, prestige, wealth and the like, even those who claim they do not. “Genius” is a different category from intelligence: geniuses are motivated by entirely different things and are socially odd (and often self-centred) people.
Later, you will miss this moment.
