Nothing. The amount they owe you.

Make them owe you everything — They owe you nothing. They are not obliged to give you anything in return. That work you put in? If it could be done by someone else, it wouldn’t make a difference to them. That’s why the work you do needs to be Your work. It needs to be stuff only you can do, so that instead of owing you nothing, they owe you everything. YAMABUSHI MAILER

Aiming for Perfection?

Aiming to never be satisfied? — Perfection is boring. It’s a good aim to have, but predictability isn’t always as fun as you’d like. Shoot for perfection, you always need something to work towards.

Make conclusions for yourself

You’re going to have to anyway — Your experience of the world is yours. It’s no one else’s. Your realisations are yours. No one else’s. Take what others say on board. Just be weary of taking it to heart. Make your own conclusions. Let others guide you, but give yourself the permission to have the final say. You’re the one who has to live with the outcome either way. YAMABUSHI MAILER
