Some things I believe

As human beings it is our right (maybe our moral duty) to reshape the universe to our preferences

• Technology, which is really knowledge, enable this
• You should probably work on raising the ceiling, not the floor

Enthusiasm matters!

• It's much easier to work on things that are exciting to you
• It might be easier to do big things than small things for this reason
• Energy is a necessary input for progress

It's important to do things fast

• You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently
• Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit
• "Slow is fake"
• A week is 2% of the year
• Time is the denominator

Manage processes instead of people

• Freedom with accountability and responsibility
• Saves time to focus on something else
• A better way to build knowledge base

Smaller teams are better

• Faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun
• No need to chop up work for political reasons
• No room for mediocre people (can pay more, too!)
• Many tech companies are overstaffed

Where do you get your dopamine?

• The answer is predictive of your behavior
• Better to get your dopamine from improving your ideas than from having them validated
• It's ok to get yours from "making things happen"

You can do more than you think

• We are tied down by invisible orthodoxy
• The laws of physics are the only limit

Character and actions play important role!

• Determinants of your fate
• Impact the way you live your life

Most of the thoughts aforementioned, are from Nat Friedman however I feel the same way, believe in them and practice everyday.
