Prioritize your survival and well-being. Evaluate all potential negative outcomes and side effects of your decisions. Mitigate risks to ensure that even the worst-case scenario does not compromise your physical or mental health. Strive to thrive, not merely exist, embracing life in its fullest form.
Value attractiveness at the highest level. You’re judged by your appearance first. Don’t let your work be dismissed because of poor presentation. Maintain a sexy body, outfit, and personality. Take sexy photos, use sexy designs, write sexy songs. Make people interested in what you have to say or contribute by being the sexiest thing in every room.
Use simple and concise language in all aspects of life. Opt for concise design, code, texts, fonts, diets, workouts, melodies, and coffee orders. Stick to what serves a function and eliminate what doesn't, both in your work and in your life.
Work hard. Let everything you do be done with excellence. Even the most basic tasks should be done at the highest level. If you're already the best, be better.
Develop systems and processes for all aspects of life. Automate solutions to free cognitive bandwidth for new challenges. Abstract away from low-level problems and minimize wasted time through automation. Repetitive tasks are beneath you; focus on higher-level thinking.
Concentrate on high-impact tasks. Drop those no longer beneficial, regardless of sunk costs. Combine efforts to maximize benefits and build equity in yourself. Ensure every action has asymmetric returns, enhancing your value and skills across multiple disciplines.
Act quickly with a bias for action. Regularly step back to see how your efforts fit into the bigger picture. Embrace a cycle of sprinting, walking, and repeating.
Start each day with a clean slate, brimming with excitement and curiosity. Embrace the new day with a sense of wonder, free from the burdens of past emotions. Address problems from first principles and maintain a fresh perspective to ensure that every day is met with renewed enthusiasm and clarity.
Check your ego at the door. Embrace the best ideas, no matter where they come from.
Be authentic and true to what makes you happy. Stay grounded in reality and engage with the real world. Go outside, talk to real people, and focus on what truly matters. Avoid getting caught up in things that won’t matter in the long run. Be honest and straightforward about your desires and pursue them with clarity.
Take ownership of your life and decisions. Never fall into a victim mindset. Understand that your fate is in your hands. If you don’t like your situation, change it.
Evaluate people by their intentions rather than their actions. Recognize that everyone makes mistakes and often fails more than they succeed. If someone falls short of kindness, it doesn't necessarily mean they intended harm. This principle extends to all human interactions. The key is to value the intention to do good and the commitment to improve when mistakes happen.
Love the people around you, the things you do, and where you are. If you don’t like the people around you, change your circle. If you don’t love what you do, find something you’re passionate about. If you don’t like where you are, move.
