top gun, 1986

A manifesto for the future? — 2013 Edition

Or, things I’ve realised over the years.

1. Get yourself a ‘wingman’! — You can’t do it on your own.

2. Shoot first, aim later. — Be able to recallibrate everything at the drop of a hat.

3. Seal Team Six. — You don’t need an army of people to achieve objectives. You just need the right people.

4. Public Enemy said it best.

5. Pick up the phone, email only goes so far.

6. Tempus fugit. — Appreciate what you have.

7. Keep your friends close & your friends closer.

8. Average is over.

9. Don’t procrastinate.

10. Downtime. — [DO NOT WORK ON SUNDAY*] you’ll thank me on Monday.

*(I struggle sticking to this).
