01
Do the right thing for the long run.
Never compromise on what's important long-term (employees, family, health, customers, technology). Build for the long term, not quick wins or shortcuts.
“I'm not sorry for ruthless transparency.”

02
No ego.
Don't believe you're special, always right, or above others. The more successful you become, the more important this is.
03
Measure and reflect on everything.
Create feedback loops, look at the data, self-reflect constantly, and keep improving in all areas of life (loved ones, people, work).
One thing to take away
Take more risk. If I can do this, you can too. Taking on smart risk will change you and change the world. If you've ever thought about being an entrepreneur or doing something unique—now is the time. Seize the moment. You and the world will be better for it.
