My take on those 12 rules:
1. If I already know what to do, do it, If i don't, don't do it. Not doing something is a decision making process.
2. This is kind of too late for me :) I have to live with it, just see it as a partner and try to have no expectation whatsoever and love her as what she is. This is hard, still learning time to time.
3. embrace the janky, i remember i always got maid of the house being untidy. Slowly I learnt to embrace it, although i still prefer tidiness.
4. Build things that enrich soul, and share things that enrich commons ...love this one. This is also why I am doing this blog. I am doing this as a medium to release my creativity to the world and also a way to share which i believe would be good for the public.
5. Pick your heresies, love this one too. Have to believe what i think is to be true, even though the whole world or majority are against it.
6. Money is problem to be solved or exchange money for time and exchange time for experience. Love this one. If i really want to have that experience, then I would want to do it. Live is about experiencing stuff. Live is too short.
7. Find your diving partners, I think for now it is the family for me. I want to be there with them and experiencing things with them although to be honest I still have a hard times to adapt to their way of thinking.
8. Know your body, this is especially true as i grow older ... my behaviour is more and more shaped by my body/genes instead doing what i want.
9. Trust heteregenous yet convergent data, this is i think very much well relate to being open and being willing to be mediocre instead expert. This also could happen when you are aggressively pursuing something, instead you are more doing it in a unilinear fashion. I remember my schooling in university, there are times I 'forced' myself to study for something, just because I am already there in the class and paid for it.
10. know what you measure ... not sure about this
11. pick your publics, own your actions ... there is freedom of speech vs consequences of your action. I could say or act whatever i want, but there will be consequences of my action.
12. know your irreversible consequences or forks (in the software world) .. this is in somecases hard to know before hand, but got to think twice about it before doing a fork or taking an exit.
