DARMIST Lab Culture • Core Values and Principles

DARMIST Lab emphasises a culture of honesty, continuous improvement, professionalism, hard work, and dedication. Try to upgrade yourself accordingly.

Part 1

1
Value Your and Others Time: Time is a precious gift from God. Are you utilising your time productively and optimisely? Always maintain time and appointments precisely at any cost.
2
Decisions are Never Wrong: At DARMIST Lab, there’s no wrong decision. Either you’ve made the right decision, or you’ll make your decision right.
3
Let Your Work Speak: Focus on outcomes, not words. Let your results demonstrate your competence and commitment.
4
Purposeful Actions: Is what you’re doing and thinking right now truly worthwhile? If not, realign your focus.
5
Skill Development: Does your work contribute to DARMIST Lab’s goals and your own skill enhancement?
6
Focus on Personal Growth Over Comparison: Your true and only competition is with yourself. Compete only with your past self. Reflect—are you stronger, smarter, or more skilled than you were 30 days ago?
7
Focus on Yourself: If someone isn’t working, that’s their problem, not yours. Stay focused on your own growth and productivity.
8
Solution-Oriented Mindset: We are here not to complain but to solve. Approach every challenge with a solution in mind.
9
No Room for Politics: Corporate politics and negativity have no place here. Use your brain and intelligence, not cunning or manipulation.
10
Cunning vs. Competence: If you rely on manipulation or office politics, it may indicate a lack of skill or underutilisation of your potential.
11
Review is Quality: Reviewing work is essential for quality. Make it a habit to review your code, documents, works and emails thoroughly before finalising. How many times can you review?
12
The Power of Observation: A keen observer can outperform raw talent. Are you practising to become someone who can identify issues, generate ideas, and devise solutions? Are you practising to become a good observer?
13
Own Your Role: You are a valuable asset to DARMIST Lab. Act with confidence. Always feel that.
14
Embrace Mistakes: Make a new mistake every day. Each mistake is a step towards learning and innovation. However, you are not allowed to repeat the same mistake again.

Part 2

1
Strive for Mastery, Not Just Completion: Every project, big or small, is a chance to enhance your expertise. Are you just completing tasks or mastering skills that will last beyond this task?
2
Open-Mindedness and Curiosity: Innovation thrives on curiosity and diverse perspectives. Are you asking questions, exploring new approaches, or sticking to your comfort zone?
3
Respectful Communication: Value everyone’s ideas and time. Share feedback constructively and welcome feedback as a tool for growth.
4
Responsibility and Ownership: Treat every project as your own. Own both successes and failures, learning from each.
5
Self-Improvement Through Feedback: Seek feedback regularly. Honest and actionable feedback can be a guide toward greater productivity and skill.
6
Clear and Purposeful Documentation: Document your work clearly. It’s not only for now but also a reference for the team’s future growth and efficiency.
7
Mindful Collaboration: Work is not isolated. Collaborate and communicate to enhance both individual and team outcomes, recognising that team goals support personal success.
8
Continuous Learning: Set monthly or quarterly personal goals, track progress, and adjust. Are you actively learning something new each month?
9
Humility with High Standards: Aim for excellence but remain humble. There's always room to learn, regardless of seniority or title.
