• It’s the duty of humans to improve against our past selves.
  • Brilliance is overrated, most genius is a function of hard work.
  • Doing things is often more important than doing things well.

• In the endless vastness of the universe, all we really have is each other.
  • Creating connection is a fundamental human desire.
  • It’s not your job to improve or fix anyone. There’s people out there waiting to meet you and improve your life. Ruthlessly cut out people you don’t trust.
• Most things are scary but not dangerous.
  • Most of your angst is in your head.
  • You’ll never be short of misery and there’s no prize for most trauma. Don’t hold onto it any longer than necessary.
• Try to work on things you’ll love.
  • Work will consume roughly 1/10th of your life. Don’t settle for something that doesn’t make you happy.
  • Taking risks to find that place for yourself is something you owe to yourself.
• Don’t shy away from change.
