Practices

a non-exhaustive work-in-progress list

• Give people the benefit of the doubt (unless they have a track record of acting in bad faith).
• Practice non-judgment as much as possible.
• Avoid personal comparisons, as they usually do more harm than good.
• Maintain a beginner's mindset.
• Be helpful and give without the expectation of return.
• Don't cultivate a personal "brand", let your "brand" be something that arises organically without intention or effort and that is only ever thought about by other people and not yourself.
• Don't take yourself too seriously.
• Don't look down upon other generations, both younger and older.
• Avoid arguments and embrace discussions, turn the former into the latter when possible.
• Respect elders, but only true elders... being old doesn't make someone an elder.
