The Core Insight
Evidence from the Corpus
“And I imagine that's part of the process of narrowing in on what's important to you is you take this first pass and then you try to use it in making a decision and then you realize, oh, there's this other thing that's really important to me and that updates your values.”
— Ada Chen Rekhi
“She just said, "Nothing is more important than your reputation." And she used to say this, and I think the charitable understanding of this is that a lot of the small decisions that you make each day, how do you treat people?”
— Albert Cheng
