The Best of Killer Innovations: 7 Rules to Live By
b'Sometimes, life surprises us with moments of reflection. I remember vividly having a captivating conversation with a taxi driver. While stuck in traffic on my way to the airport after hosting a South by Southwest meet-up on neural diversity hiring, he curiously asked about the key to my success. His question inspired me to jot down my 7 rules to live by. Continuing with the Best of Killer Innovations, I share them with you in the hope that they\'ll assist you in achieving personal and professional triumphs.
\\n
\\nMy 7 Rules to Live By
\\nStay connected to the people who matter most.
\\nKeep in touch personally, not just electronically. Nurture deep relationships with loved ones.
\\nListen more, talk less.
\\nBe genuinely interested in others, actively listen, and ask questions\\u2014end conversations by offering help.
\\nMake commitments you\'re genuinely committed to.
\\nDon\'t make false promises. If you can\'t deliver, be honest and find alternative solutions.
\\nDon\'t get caught up in credit.
\\nCredit will find its rightful owner. Embrace teamwork and acknowledge others\' contributions.
\\nAcknowledge and encourage others.
\\nSuccess is a result of collective effort. Express gratitude and provide words of encouragement.
\\nHandle criticism with compassion.
\\nPause before responding. Count to ten or wait a day. Choose compassion over rudeness. Seek advice before reacting.
\\nSet priorities based on the “5 Fs.”
\\nFaith, Family, Friends, Fitness, and Finance. Filter demands based on these priorities.
\\nNow that you have my 7 rules to live by, create your own set to achieve personal and professional success. Before you start, let me just tell you one thing: success is personal, so your set of rules should be, too. Think about what matters to you, what principles guide you, what values you hold dear. Create a set of rules that aligns with them. And don\'t forget to make them actionable, measurable, and realistic. Remember, these rules to live by are not a one-time thing. They\'re a continuous practice that helps you grow, learn, and become a better version of yourself.
