Fundamental Rules of Work Life

Fundamental Rules of Work Life

  1. Retirement is worst-case-scenario insurance
  2. Interest and energy are cyclical (why frequent time-offs are important)
  3. Less is not laziness
  4. The timing is never right
  5. Ask for forgiveness, not permission
  6. Emphasize strengths, not weaknesses
  7. Things in excess become their opposite (e.g. help can become a hindrance)
  8. Money alone is not the solution
  9. Relative income is more important than absolute income (focus on per-hour income instead of per month)
  10. Distress is bad, eustress is good (eustress is healthy stress that makes you become better and succeed)
