Writing down one thing you are grateful for each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever.
Even a foolish person can still be right about most things. Most conventional wisdom is true.
In all things — except love — start with the exit strategy. Prepare for the ending. Almost anything is easier to get into than out of.
I’m positive that in 100 years much of what I take to be true today will be proved to be wrong, maybe even embarrassingly wrong, and I try really hard to identify what it is that I am wrong about today.
Experience is overrated. When hiring, hire for aptitude, train for skills. Most really amazing or great things are done by people doing them for the first time.
Don’t say anything about someone in email you would not be comfortable saying to them directly, because eventually they will read it.
When you get an invitation to do something in the future, ask yourself: would you accept this if it was scheduled for tomorrow? Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.
Anything real begins with the fiction of what could be. Imagination is therefore the most potent force in the universe, and a skill you can get better at. It’s the one skill in life that benefits from ignoring what everyone else knows.
Friends are better than money. Almost anything money can do, friends can do better. In so many ways a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat.
Treating a person to a meal never fails, and is so easy to do. It’s powerful with old friends and a great way to make new friends.
Gratitude will unlock all other virtues and is something you can get better at.
