My personal principles:

1. Health > Family > Career
2. Optimists make money, pessimists sound smart
3. Work as long as I can, never retire
4. Purpose over money
5. Courage is rare, show it
6. Empathy is rarer, feel it
7. Take risks, life is short
8. Be thoughtful, life is long
9. Attitude > Aptitude
10. Share as much as you can
11. Write for yourself, before others
12. Respond to all thoughtful people
13. Live below your means, learn above your means
14. Money is a scoreboard, not a goal
15. Good things take time
16. Don’t stop, keep going
17. Support people who want to make a difference
18. Things come down as fast as they go up
19. Choose slowly, commit wholly, execute rapidly 
20. Give back as you’re privileged
21. If you try to make everyone happy, you never will be
