Life Lessons
Jul 27, 2017 · 1 min read
It’s been a year in the real world. I wanted to take time to document the life lessons I’ve learned. They’re bound to change over time, so I thought it be nice to timestamp the ones I carry with me today. These are obviously opinions.
- Research is an ineffective way to change the world. The best way to make an impact is to invent something that people consume.
- Always include people. Take care in the conversation you choose, especially in groups. I try to choose topics that everyone can contribute to. I also invite people relentlessly. If I have plans to go to an event, I’ll fire off tens of messages.
- Everyone hates being wrong. I’m still working on how to correct people without offending them.
- Having solid friendships means I never feel lonely. I know they are there for me whenever and wherever.
- If you really cared, you would make time for it. This is my core life principle. It’s a something I hold myself and my friends to. It’s a principle I learned from my undergrad advisor.
