Personal Beliefs & Life Principles

These are beliefs and principles I've collected over the years. Some from experience, some from failure, most from both.

• Take care of the people who work with you, and the work will take care of itself
• Know thyself is the greatest purpose of life
• Meaning matters more than happiness
• I know nothing
• Self-reliance is the most valuable asset you can cultivate
• I don't blame anything or anyone for my failures or bad decisions. Only myself
• Discipline is the highest form of self-love
• Our greatest teachers come disguised as difficulties
• Deep understanding is the foundation of all effective problem-solving
• Emotional intelligence is among life's most crucial skills
• Treat your body as a temple
• You may have many problems, but when you have a health problem, you have only one problem

These aren't just nice ideas I read somewhere. They're what I actually believe, learned the hard way, and try to live by. Sometimes I fail at them. That's okay - the point is to keep trying.
