1. Importance of Theory

• "Teach people how to think rather than what to think"
• "Don't have your own opinion, let theory provide an opinion"
• "Good theory let's you explain what will happen without experiencing it"
• "Good theory dispenses advice in if then statements"

2. "Be deliberate; have a plan but when it's best to be emergent, be open to the unexpected."

3. "Happiness come from making people do things they want to do."

• Hygiene factor + motivation together provides happiness
• e.g. compensation is a hygiene factor
• Opposite of dissatisfaction is absence of dissatisfaction: hygiene factor alone not enough to make you happy
• "Motivation is intrinsic to yourself or to your work"

4. Questions to ask yourself

• Will this work be meaningful?
• Opportunity to learn and grow?
• Opportunity to achieve and be recognized?

5. Discovery driven planning

• What assumptions do you have to prove?
• Make a list and go in order of importance
• The distraction could become the next big thing
