Be quick to smile: This reflects an openness, to people in particular. It also means looking for opportunities, looking for humour perhaps, looking for kindness, or delight - and being more engaged with the Real World.
Be generous: Be generous with my time, with my resources, with my response to things, with myself too. I’m always interacting with a human, and humans (just like myself) have flaws and make mistakes. Take this into account.
Be open: Perhaps related to being quicker to smile, this is about being more open to encounters, more open to talking to a random stranger, or someone speaking to me.
Bias towards action: Do. Or don't do, don't try. Nothing comes of not doing. Nothing is built of it, nothing is learned from it. Do, fail, learn, repeat. Or in Product speak: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. Don't wait for perfection. Nothing can't be improved. Raul says x.
This goes against my natural instinct quite strongly. I'm risk averse. I may need a little more help here.
