Since I was both an investor and an entrepreneur, I developed a healthy fear of being wrong and figured out an approach to decision making that would maximize my odds of being right. Think about the people who are closest to you: Are their values aligned with yours? Do you even know what their values or principles are? ![]() People who don’t will suffer through constant misunderstandings and conflicts. People of who have shared values and principles get along. ![]() If you can think for yourself while being open-minded in a clear-headed way to find out what is best for you to do, and if you can summon up the courage to do it, you will make the most of your life.

Principles are fundamental truths that serve as the foundations for behavior that gets you what you want out of life.
