L1. There is no PLAN.
So follow your fundamentals as life/world is too uncertain to make elaborate plans of future.
L2. Thinks Strengths, not Weaknesses.
Focus on Strengths, Steer around Weakness. Strengths are those activities which induce FLOW like state. Which don’t drain you, but energise you.
“FLOW is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing, characterised by a feeling of energised focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.”
L3. It’s not about YOU
Serve, not self-actualise. Bring out the best in others, your Boss & your teams for your Customer/Client. Outward Results should be the focus.
L4. Persistence trumps talent
Practice, practice and more practice (like Musicians & Players). Intrinsic motivation triggers more persistence than Extrinsic ones. [Refer Hygiene VS Motivators from "How will you measure your life" ]
L5. Make Excellent Mistakes
Read "Adapt" for details on how to make and institutionalise them.
Bunko - Make mistakes from which the benefits of what you’ve learned exceed the costs of the screw-up.
L6. Leave an Imprint
Life isn’t infinite. Leave a legacy, work is your means to immortality. No regrets. Leave a paper trail of your work and existence.
