Anything one monkey can do, another monkey can do

I’m going to start noting down the principles that matter to me. This is the first one.

“It worked for you, so it will work for me.”

That exact sentence, which went through my head so often 30+ years ago, is true.

The principle is that results come from actions. I can look at someone else’s actions and results and mimic them.

Mimicry works.

That other person experiences collateral effects as well. My collateral effects might be different. But the 80/20 rule lets me cheerfully ignore the collateral effects and focus on garnering the main object.
