Just some stuff about me.
Here’s a selection of those I liked most, taken from here
Inversion – don’t ask “how can I help my company”, but “what’s hurting my company most and how do I avoid it”
A system is only as strong as its weakest point. But don’t optimize individual parts, optimize the whole system.
People lie about their true opinions and conform to socially acceptable preferences
People who are similar are more likely to fight than people who are different.
People often change the meaning of a sentence by replacing one word with a synonym that implies a different meaning
A group of people working on a project will fight over the most trivial ideas. They’ll ignore what’s complicated.
Work expands to fill the time available. People don’t want to look like they’re lazy, so they find extra tasks to tackle, even if they’re trivial. If you have six months to complete a project, it will take six months to complete. Set deadlines accordingly.
Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
Via Negativa – sometimes, you can improve your life by taking things away.
