Our Principles
1
Whatever can be done tomorrow should be done today. Whatever can be done today should be done now.
2
Keep questioning until you understand something from first principles. Analogy based reasoning is for the lazy. Don’t be lazy.
3
In God we all trust, everyone else brings data to the discussion. If you can’t find data for something, then build hypothesis using first principles.
4
You are not sure until you have data from 3 different and independent sources validating the same thing. Assume nothing.
5
Your achievement of the past got you where you are today. It means nothing more. Don’t expect anything else from what you achieved yesterday; you will be disappointed.
6
Humility is at the center of our existence. Without humility there can be no curiosity. Without curiosity there can be no progress.
7
Hard times build strong teams. Strong teams bring success. Success weakens the team. Weak teams die. In times of prosperity, aim higher and challenge yourself to create adversity. You will survive longer
8
If you have a shot, take it! Great results are as much about timing as they are about hard work. There is no perfect time.
9
Build relationships. Relationships are the invisible competitive advantage our competitors can never steal.
10
Obsession is a competitive advantage. If you are not obsessing about what you are working on, you will most likely not meet expectations.
