The credit for an invention or creation is as important, if not more important, than the invention itself.

You must secure the credit for yourself and keep others from stealing it away, or from piggybacking on your hard work.

Learn to take advantage of other people’s work to further your own cause.

Time is precious and life is short.

If you try to do it all on your own, you run yourself ragged, waste energy, and burn yourself out.

"Thus a wise prince will think of ways to keep his citizens of every sort and under every circumstance dependent on the state and on him; and then they will always be trustworthy."

- Niccolo Machiavelli, 1469-1527

A Viper crushed beneath your foot but left alive, will rear up and bite you with a double dose of venom.

Time makes the venom grow stronger.

The quality of covering letters has come such a long way. Awesome to see the ambition and aspiration.

It’s a mistake to assume that open-minded people have weak opinions.

On the contrary, they are actually strongly opinionated because they actively seek evidence contrary to their beliefs which makes them converge on beliefs that are only updated if there’s compelling evidence.

While he considers you weak and inferior,

and takes no precautions against you,

you are using the time to catch up and surpass him.

This soft, permeable form of invasion is often the best,

for the enemy has nothing to react against, prepare for, or resist.
