Wizzdom

Wisdom I've absorbed over the years:

  • Never confuse "can" with "may" or "could" with "should"
  • Always under-promise and over-deliver
  • Never make a promise you can't keep
  • Always use the proper tool for a given job
  • Keeping "a step ahead" only works if you're not in a mine field
  • One idiot is more powerful than five geniuses
  • Everybody is good at something.  And they suck horribly at something
    else
  • Unless you are paid to have an opinion, shut up
  • You can tell everything of how a company values its employees by the
    parking lots and bathrooms
  • A business is not a collection of "departments" and "resources".  It is
    just people
  • You can never change anyone's mind
  • Judge people by their actions, not their words
  • If you don't know the answer to a question, just say so
