A friend sent this short article about one of co-founders of Netflix, Marc Randolph, the 8 rules for life his father gave him. Love it!

Here are the 8 rules:

Do at least 10% more than you are asked.
Never, ever, to anybody present as fact opinions on things you don’t know. Takes great care and discipline.
Be courteous and considerate always — up and down.
Don’t knock, don’t complain — stick to constructive, serious criticism.
Don’t be afraid to make decisions when you have the facts on which to make them.
Quantify where possible.
Be open-minded but skeptical.
Be prompt.
