Tag: Advice
Art
You should love art in yourself, not yourself in art.
– Konstantin Stanislavski
Later
Save for later, they say… What later, damn it?! “Later” may not even arrive…
Confidence
Real confidence is internal in nature.
Listen!
Listening to wisdom is wise.
Beauty
If you only care about the outcome, you’ll miss the beauty of the game.
Hastiness
Haste never speeds anything up. On the contrary.
Heartbeat
Slower the heartbeat, the longer the life.
Dedication
Life without dedication is not worth living.
Generosity
Generosity is the key. Be generous. People respond better to generosity than to demands.
Value
Only worth it, if you can enjoy it. — Michelob ULTRA commercial
Practice
Practice makes one smart.
Goalposts
In a game of constantly moving goalposts, only those who are doing the actual moving, benefit. Everybody else loses.
Knowledge
The only knowledge worth knowing is utilitarian in nature. Everything else is superfluous.
Mission Impossible
It’s impossible to convince irrational people with arguments.
Get involved!
Get more involved with your life!!
Error
It’s easier to correct someone’s errors, than to teach them how not to make them.
Lesson
All that I learned over all these years about people is that one should avoid them at all costs.
Fight
You can’t fight something that you don’t see and/or don’t understand. To fight it, you have to make it visible/understandable.
Run!
If you delay running for too long, then may come the time when you no longer can run. So, run while you can!
Definition
The most accurate definition of modern software development: Even if a woman lies down with nine men, we still can’t expect to have a baby in one month.
