Jim Simons's five principles
Be guided by beauty. Just as a great theorem can be very beautiful, a company that’s really working very well, very efficiently, that can be beautiful.
Surround yourself with the smartest and best people you possibly can. Let them do their thing. Don’t sit on top of them. If they’re smarter than you, all the better.
Do something original. Don’t run with the pack. If everyone is trying to solve the same problem ... don’t do that.
Don’t give up easily. Stick with it. Stick with it not forever, but really give it a chance to get where you’re going.
The final principle is Hope For Good Luck.
That’s the most important principle.
