- Topics: [[Self-expression]] --- - For collaborative work, it's not about how good you think you are, but how good others think you are. - External perspectives should not affect your own, but they do determine if others want to work with you. - Your reputation is cultivated not by what you say about yourself, but what your work says about you and how others feel about you. The best outcome you can hope for is if you continuously show up as yourself. Where others see your character, not a caricature of you, where you don't have to waste time boasting, and just be.
