Some things I believe:

• Human behaviour will soon be quantitative, not qualitative.
• Lazy people come up with the most optimized path to the same product value.
• Being a "workaholic" isn't bad. Dedicate yourself to the right work.
• Life has equal happiness and sadness. It's how we perceive it (perception of a consequence is a beautiful theory).
