thinking about balance

You should be confident. But have humility and don’t be arrogant.
Be practical, but stick to principles.
Have rules, but not too many.
Be obedient, but nobody great was ever obedient.
Get a degree, but college education is a waste of time.
Earn money, but too much money means no life.
Have passion for the job, but being too passionate about your job could lead to being a workaholic.
Always move forward. Never look back and wonder. But history repeats itself and one should learn from the mistakes.
Be honest, but too much honesty could cost you.
Talk to enemies, but get your job done.
Satisfy the customer, but not at a cost.
Make a profit, but don’t be greedy.
Be transparent, except when it can hurt you or someone else.
Have a great career, but give time to family, don’t stress too much.
Be ambitious, but be ethical.
All we want is peace of mind and being comfortable, but don’t be in your comfort zone, push yourself.
Be a capitalist, except when it hurts people.
Don’t care for the rules, but I want that which the people who follow rules get also.
Be data oriented, but too much data is a problem.
You manage what you can measure, but learn to manage what you cannot measure also.
Be in control, but too much control is a problem.
Reconcile all view points, but don’t get paralyzed.
Be objective, but be subjective also.
Assertive, not pushy.
Take credit, but don’t gloat.
Time vs cost
Cost vs quality


Don’t choose "Neither Agree or Disagree". Find a balance, but don’t stand in the middle of the road where you can get hit by both sides.
