I came to realize that A) If you’re serious all the time, you’ll wear out before the truly serious stuff gets done; and B) if you don’t regularly appreciate the small wins, you will never appreciate the big wins. They’ll all fall through your fingers like sand as you obsess on the next week, the next to-do, the next thing to fix. This makes “success” a Pyrrhic victory at best.
When you get deep into a project...
No matter how much you initially believe in it...
There are moments you will doubt yourself.
These moments are just another part of making your vision a reality.
Embrace them, then push through.
Social media lowers the cost of raising & joining mobs.
Per the Minority Rule, the most intolerant wins.
Mobs replace conversations with extremism. Journalists, politicians, & society follow.
We can raise the cost up with software to expose and block the perpetually outraged.
Life lessons for us here.
No matter what never give in.
Be this little boy, who refused to give up.
Be his friends who encouraged him to keep going.
Persevere with your challenges.
You can do this.
@sanjayraman Hi Sanjay, I am with Hollingsworth Design and had the opportunity to see and speak to many of your Houzz representatives at the IBS in Vegas. I was wondering if you could give me some time to connect with you regarding object oriented design.
