  1. Key lessons I learned in the last ~year: 💡
    - Give to causes/uses that (can) last long.
    - Giving that lasts can also give you back a lot of satisfaction.

    Wish I'd learned that sooner. 😳

  6. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    In the life of the artist there need be no hour without its pleasure. I take the author, with whose career I am best acquainted; and it is true he works in a rebellious material, and that the act of writing is cramped and trying both to the eyes and the temper; but remark him in his study, when matter crowds upon him and words are not wanting — in what a continual series of small successes time flows by; with what a sense of power as of one moving mountains, he marshals his petty characters; with what pleasures, both of the ear and eye, he sees his airy structure growing on the page; and how he labours in a craft to which the whole material of his life is tributary, and which opens a door to all his tastes, his loves, his hatreds, and his convictions, so that what he writes is only what he longed to utter. He may have enjoyed many things in this big, tragic playground of the world; but what shall he have enjoyed more fully than a morning of successful work? Suppose it ill paid: the wonder is it should be paid at all. Other men pay, and pay dearly, for pleasures less desirable.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  9. A quotation from Horace

    Let the man who has acquired Enough not ask for MORE.
    A house and acreage, a pile of bronze and gold coins,
    Have never been able to lower the sick man’s fever
    Or drive out his worries. The proprietor must be well
    If he plans to enjoy the good things he’s gathered together.
     
    [Quod satis est cui contingit, nihil amplius optet.
    Non domus et fundus, non aeris acervus et auri
    Aegroto doniini deduxit corpore febres,
    on animo curas; valeat possessor oportet,
    Si conpertatis rebus bene cogitat uti.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 46ff (1.2.46-50) (14 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]

  11. #Advice for #Life
    Always have 3 #projects in life
    1. Possible
    2. Impossible
    3. I don't care

    The 1st one is to #earn #livelihood, 2nd for #personal #growth and the last for personal #satisfaction.
    It doesn't matter how much you do each of these. But it does matter that you sustain these. For in your mind, they will occupy concrete space and that will give you the desired purpose to #survive #happily
    P.S. the term project is not limited, it's anything that requires you to focus and has a goal

  25. Handcuffed

    We just had a really frustrating issue come up at work. The customer had access to their system locked down hard, for perfectly valid and acceptable reasons. They had issues with applications crashing and we couldn’t get in to see what happened. There were a slew of people from my company, the hardware vendor, and the customer on a conference call and we were all totally stumped. Then one of our tech guys and one of the tech guys from the hardware vendor started hammering away at it and they figured it out.

    Sometimes this software support stuff can be incredibly frustrating, but when those frustrating moments get resolved… oh man is that satisfying. Even in a case like this where the folks who support my application ended up being innocent bystanders (the issue and the fix ended up having zero to do with us) it is still immensely satisfying.

    Huge tip of the hat to the two guys who eventually worked it all out. As the commercials used to say, it’s Miller time*.

    *It’s not Miller time for me. I don’t drink. The sentiment still works though.

  26. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    For my part, the thing that I would wish to obtain from money would be leisure with security. But what the typical modern man desires to get with it is more money, with a view to ostentation, splendour, and the outshining of those who have hitherto been his equals.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)
