🎯 Pessimists sound smart, but optimists make money. 
🎯 Select carefully and complete fully!
🎯 Build it. Break it. Fix it.
🎯 Great process is not an excuse for poor results
🎯 Over communicate
🎯When the anecdotes and the data disagree, check the data
🎯We tend to overestimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in 10 years
🎯 Trust but verify
🎯 Simple is genius
🎯 Measure twice, cut once
