Over the years I’ve grown to understand myself better, and a few years ago I started to write down my personal principles.

• Efficiency through laziness
• Assume positive intent
• The only real apology is corrected behavior.
• You can’t control your emotions but you can control your actions.
• Wit is the salt of the conversation, not the food
• Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place.
• Better an oops than a what if.
• Better a horrible end than unending horror.
• Tolerate failure, not incompetence.
