Selected life principles

Here are some that seemed particularly important for me. Taken from 35 Principles for 35 Years

Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Praise in public, criticize in private.

People remember how you made them feel, before what you said. A good story has more power than a good argument.

Complete truths are not welcome. Most people are more interested in (being entertained | sharing outrage | feeling good about themselves | defending their reputation) than debating truth or improving themselves. Trying to change them is ineffectual.

Always turn lessons to principles. When we make mistakes or have great success, we should form them into principles so we can write them down and learn from or repeat them.
