I’m a big fan of seeking to understand.

• To the point where I have a paradigm of caring far more about the intention behind actions than the actions themselves.
• Though I hope that the actions are supportive of the intention.
• But when they are not, what is important is to understand why the action did not achieve the intent.
• And to use that new understanding to adjust the actions to achieve the intent.

To get to the point:

Purpose matters

• And what you do

• And how you do it

• Impact what you achieve.

This is why I:

• Have to understand the purpose before doing anything
• Ask questions and think about
  • why,
  • how,
  • the relationship between why and how,
  • and the relationship between why, how, and what.
