These are the principles by which I strive to live, shaped by my life and career:1. Never compromise your values.2. Always assume a positive intention in interpersonal communication.3. Seek to understand others' intentions.4. Be humble and grounded. Understand and appreciate how luck, timing, and privilege have influenced your journey and that of others.5. Strive to grow by working harder and smarter than everyone else. When you see this drive in others, nourish it.6. Be accountable and do what you say you're going to do.7. Never stop learning, whether work-related or not. Breadth of expertise is as important as depth.8. Be an altruist rather than an egoist. Never step on others and be gracious, kind, and pleasant to everyone.9. Be someone others want to work with and work for.10. Everyone has something they can teach another. Never refuse to help others learn if they ask, and never be afraid to ask for help yourself.
