Lessons I’ve Learned Over Time
People expect you to know what they mean when they don’t explain it and how they feel when they don’t express it.
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Humans hide their talents as effectively as they conceal their flaws.
Your opinions say more about you than the things that you criticize.
You’re not good at something until you can demonstrate it convincingly.
If you want to fix something, address the root cause. If you want to improve, work on your weaknesses.
The more someone claims to be good at something, they more likely they aren’t.
Nothing sells itself. Marketing requires time and effort.
Deliver the bad news first. Resolve the problem before it gets worse.
Challenges become more manageable when you face them.
If the phone isn’t ringing, either they’re not interested, or they don’t believe that you are.
Learn how to talk yourself into doing important things and out of doing wasteful things. Humans are hard wired to do the opposite.
Some of your neighbors are authoritarians. Some of your colleagues are schemers. Some of your friends aren’t friends. Factor that in to minimize disappointment.
Some people love to complain. Some love to exaggerate.
There’s no substitute for dedication, enthusiasm, authenticity, and hard work.
You are what you finish.
What you can do in a day is enough if you do it.
