In Life and Work
Bring something to the party (usually pies, sometimes a point of a view)
Appearances matter, a nice looking table is more appealing to sit at (make your deck a little shiny, preparation makes a difference)
Spark conversation, be curious (you’ll gain something and never lose anything)
Leave things better than you found them (the AirBnB, the design system, your team dynamic)
Be appreciative, say thank you (tip your Fedex driver, express gratitude in the moment)
