Lucky seven: Weekly letter with five quotes and two doses of reflection.
Today, let's explore some quotes shared by Will Larson.
- The next time you’re about to dive into fixing a complicated one-off situation, consider taking a step back and documenting the problem but not trying to solve it.
- Good piece of written communication is the most effective means of broadcasting ideas and scaling yourself.
- Consistency is a precondition of fairness. Consistency requires no little bravery
- Work the policy, not the exceptions.
- Environments that tolerate frequent exceptions are not only susceptible to bias but are also inefficient.
And two thoughts from my searches. Both positive, one funny, and one serious:
- The word 'bed' actually looks like a bed.
- What is chemistry? - Chemistry is when you have to work the least to be the most authentic character. How much you can be yourself is dependent on who you're with.
