Short Read: What are the most valuable things everyone should know?
Jordan B Peterson | 2 minutes
Tell the truth. Do not do things that you hate.
Act so that you can tell the truth about how you act.
Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient.

Got a minute? I’ve got a small favor to ask.
I launched something on Product Hunt. And I’d be grateful for your support.
About a month ago, I launched a product called AudioPen. It’s a simple tool that makes it really easy to convert your messy thoughts into clear text.
All you have to do is talk.
AudioPen listens to you, and then rephrases your words into well-written text that is ready to share.
With AudioPen, you can write content that reflects the quality of your thoughts, not your proficiency with words.
Today, I launched AudioPen on Product Hunt. I’d be really grateful if you could spare a minute to support it there.
Thank you :)
