Make something worth something
I love this quote from the late Charlie Munger’s USC commencement address:
It’s such a simple idea. It’s the golden rule so to speak: You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end. There is no ethos, in my opinion, that is better for any lawyer or any other person to have. By and large the people who have this ethos win in life and they don’t win just money, not just honors. They win the respect, the deserved trust of the people they deal with, and there is huge pleasure in life to be obtained from getting deserved trust.

From Marcus Aurelius, to the Bible, to Charlie Munger — it seems our mission in life is to show up with a product, service, or idea that makes positive change for those we seek to serve.
