Principles are ways of successfully dealing with reality to get what you want out of life.

Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, cites principles as his key to success.

Work Principle

Focus more on making the pie bigger than on exactly how to slice it so that you or anyone else gets the biggest piece.

The best negotiations are the ones with someone in which I say, "You should take more," and they argue back, "No you should take more!" People who operate this way with each other make the relationship better and the pie bigger--and both benefit in the long run.
