Loyalty is the MOST important trait I look for in people.
I used to believe it was intelligence, hard work, people skills, discipline, or
other factors.
I hired the brightest minds when I was at Yahoo!-- genius engineers who could
outwork any of us.
Truly impressive-- and great when you have short-term projects.
But in the long run, compound interests wins.
It's what Einstein calls the 8th wonder of the world.
Get 1% better each day for a year and you're at 37.
Get 1% worse each day for a year and you're at 0.3.
As with relationships, seek loyalty--- people who will be with you for years and
decades to come.
You could take a million multiplied by a million-- and multiplied by a string of
big numbers.
But at any point in the string if you multiply by zero-- the entire thing goes
to zero.
When you're building relationships, seek loyalty above else.
The best friends I have, I've known for many years.
