Don’t let the little things divide you when your agreement on the big things should bind you. - Ray Dalio

Having nothing to hide relieves stress and builds trust.

I also feared boredom and mediocrity much more than I feared failure. For me, great is better than terrible, and terrible is better than mediocre, because terrible at least gives life flavor. The high school yearbook quote my friends chose for me was from Thoreau: “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Avoid fixating on irrelevant details.
