NOTE

Honest not Nice

Prioritizing honesty over niceness fosters a culture of direct communication and clarity, especially in creative environments. Holding work as the primary value enables individuals to understand expectations and choose their participation accordingly. A pivotal story illustrates the importance of this principle: Steve Jobs' candid feedback revealed that concerns about being liked can detract from focusing on the quality of work. True dedication to a project requires a willingness to accept harsh truths in order to foster improvement. The ultimate goal of content creation should align with personal passion and viewer satisfaction, reflecting a commitment to quality over popularity. This leads to a refusal to compromise standards, even at significant financial costs, emphasizing that outstanding work is worth the sacrifices made for it.
