My Principles
Principles by which I live. I practice these principles both on my daily personal life and when conducting my business. This list is ever-evolving. If you ever see me break one, please let me know.
-
Never physically hurt animals or human beings unless it’s to defend. Unless they are cockroaches, spiders, flys, or insects you find threatening or grotesque. Eating meat doesn’t count.
-
When given the opportunity, always defend a child or a minor in need.
-
The life of any immediate family member is more important than mine. When given a choice, always chose their well-being before mine.
-
I believe there is a greater being who allowed life. Their shape and name is irrelevant to me. I haven’t decided if I believe they are perfect or flawed yet. I hope to find out one day.
-
Strive to be as successful, influential, and wealthy as you possibly can, with the condition that you don’t trade that success or wealth for everything else that matters: family, friends, health, faith, and integrity.
-
Don’t judge others consciously. Not even inside your head. If you decide to judge someone, ask yourself this after: What is that person’s fundamental belief that you disagree with? Write it down.
-
Get away from any person, situation or thing that consciously or subconsciously hurt you. - Mom (thanks! :) )
-
Treat strangers the way you’d like them to treat you.
-
Vocalize how you like to be treated - don’t assume others know or should know.
-
Value the time of others the same as yours, and let that be reflected in your actions.
-
Always give credit where credit is due.
I intend to revisit this list often and write down more principles by which I abide. I am aware that I am not perfect. But hey, we do what we can.
I am currently the CEO of Replay Listings, a business I am extremely proud of, in which we practice these values. You may check it out here or download or iOS mobile app on the App Store - it rocks.
Thank you!
