My commandments
- Feelings are the unconditional source of truth. Trust them and use them to build authentic opinions.
- Speak with the intention of inspiring, not bragging.
- Listen with the intention of understanding, not responding.
- Write with the intention of being useful, not to look smart. If you haven’t learned anything by writing, don’t publish.
- Do not expect others to act according to your values. Instead, convince them that they are worth following.
- Do not expect others to fill your gaps. Especially, your partner is not to fix your flaws.
- Embrace the people around you. There is no such thing as self-made success, as you cannot pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
- Consider all people as smart as you are, just in different areas.
- Everyone has beauty inside, it’s your job to find it, not theirs to show you. You cannot appreciate what you do not understand; therefore, if you can understand everyone, you can appreciate everyone.
- It requires courage to be normal.
- Love exists. If you don’t believe, keep looking.
