About Us
Our core values and guiding principles
Be a critical thinker
Form your own beliefs and always question them. Be open-minded but beware of dogma.
When making important decisions and forming beliefs, do so consciously and rationally (-> rational beliefs & decisions).
Trust & be authentic
Value and deliberately build relationships of trust. Value trust, your name and your word.
Don't bullshit yourself and others. Be authentic with your purpose in life, in your communication, your actions, etc.
Take full responsibility
Stay clear of victim mentality. You play the game of life, so you better at all times take full responsibility for and accept absolutely everything that happens in that game, no matter what, and move forward from there.
Embrace change
If things are not satisfactory in their current state, (help) change them if it's worth your time and effort.
Nothing worth having comes easy.
Take action
Good intentions and ideas are fundamental, but acting on them with purpose and a drive for excellence is what will ultimately generate the best possible real-world results.
Keep it simple
Do, think, create and keep only what's most important, everything else is just distraction.
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Einstein
Play the long game
Focus on the long term. Aim to solve any problems by creating solid systems.
Be at peace with being patient. Don't allow short-term gain or hardship to throw you off track (Micro-Macro Problem). It usually takes years to build the strong foundation necessary to generate big positive results.
Be a utilitarian
Utilitarianism (slightly altered): The right course of action is the one that will, in the long-term, produce the greatest possible net happiness (felcific calculus) for all beings.
Felicific calculus: A method of working out the sum total of happiness / pleasure and unhappiness / pain produced or caused by an act (= net happiness), and thus the total value of its consequences.
Be compassionate
Compassion is "a strong feeling of sympathy for [beings] who are suffering and a desire to help them" (Oxford Dictionary).
"Sym-" means "together" (⇒SymplAct™).
