Learned a few things in 2011 that I think are worth sharing/keeping record. What did YOU learn in 2011?
- No matter how knowledgeable you are, a spark in the eyes is always more convincing than words.
- Location matters. It sets the tone for your spirit and aspirations.
- Associating with assholes will only bring you down, no matter how great the promises sound. Don’t. (not talking about SUP here!)
- Following anyone else’s plan will only take you somewhere you’re not intended to get.
- Reading other people is a thousand times more important than reading (or writing) code.
- Great things are built through long periods of boring WORK and a few unpredicted moments of complete FEAR.
- Speaking of which, fear is one’s one and only enemy and also his biggest friend.
- Penguins are awkward, funny… and strangely human.
And the “Oscars” go to:
