"If you're not failing, you're not pushing your limits, and if you're not pushing your limits, you're not maximizing your potential."

"Don't worry about looking good—worry about achieving your goals."

"Meaningful work and meaningful relationships are not just nice things we choose for ourselves—they are genetically programmed into us."

"The greatest gift you can give someone is the power to be successful. Giving people the opportunity to struggle rather than giving them the things they are struggling for will make them stronger."

"People who have shared values and principles get along. People who don't will suffer through constant misunderstandings and conflicts."

"Asking others who are strong in areas where you are weak to help you is a great skill that you should develop no matter what."

"Look for people who have lots of great questions. Smart people are the ones who ask the most thoughtful questions."

"Truth—or, more precisely, an accurate understanding of reality—is the essential foundation for any good outcome."

"Time is like a river that carries us forward into encounters with reality that require us to make decisions."

"Pain + Reflection = Progress."

"Radical open-mindedness and radical transparency are invaluable for rapid learning and effective change."

"Be radically open-minded. The ability to learn is far more important than the ability to know."
