Ryan Oliver Po's quotes and Jason Shen's quotes and Jack Ma's quotes

"Have no worries by doing things right."
-Ryan Po

#1    Fulfill all your promises to yourself.
#2    You achieving 100% of your goals means you're not thinking big enough.
#3   When the right opportunity arises, seize it by the fucking throat.#4    Don’t offer too many options. Likewise, people don’t do well with too large a menu of options. Try to provide no more than three options and make sure one choice is the “recommended” one.#5     Model the kind of behavior you want to see in those around you.If you want people to work long hours, work long hours. If you want people to admit when they make mistakes, do the same yourself. No one respects a hypocrite.

#4  Most people really hate uncertainty. If you’re an entrepreneurial type, remember that most people aren’t and they don’t like facing a future that is uncertain. Help them feel more comfortable by showing that your ideas have precedent, and give a sense of the possible outcomes and how likely they are to happen.

#5  Don’t gloss over the setbacks and hard parts of the story.

#6   Find out what’s going to be on the test. Remember those annoying kids who used to ask if anything was going to be on the test? Well, they were on to something. Make sure you know what metrics, feelings or judgements will define your success, and concentrate your efforts there.#7    If it is 80% done, and getting it to perfect is going to take a lot more effort, ship it, and fix it later. You’ll be surprised to find out how few things actually need to be “perfect”. This doesn’t give you an excuse to phone it in, but I’m a big believer in being prolific over being perfect

#8    Tell people when their behavior is undermining the success of a shared outcome. While it might feel a little intimidating, it is your responsibility to proactively and responsibility alert folks that you’ve noticed they tend to interrupt the client (or choose undescriptive variable names or whatever!) and could they watch out for that in the future? Learning how to deliver negative feedback effectively is crucial

We have to pay a painful price in the next 3 to 5 years. That is the only way we can succeed. If you have an 8am to 5pm mentality, that will not cut it. You will not make it that way.
