It’s comforting to know that there are many others like me out in cyberspace – and I think a good many are in the IT field. We’re part of a new generation that – because of the internet and all the “answers” it provides – spends his life figuring out out to best live life – and never getting around to actually living it. A new generation of cowards, who wants to accumulate all of the answers before we get started. But we’re realizing slowly that it’s not possible. We’ve been afraid of that world out there beyond the computer screen and we even have financial incentive to stay away from it. Keep up the good work.

Enjoyed this blog. Made me think. My interests reads like a jack of all trades, but nothing committed.

Loved the article and SOOOOOOOO True. You definitely have a way with words. Now, does anyone have an idea how I, a mere beginner, can sell my paintings on-line? Speaking of committment…. Thanks for the inspiration -

Awesome article Brad! :)

It clarifies what was meant by “do or do not, there is no try”.

Bruh, are you sure you’re only 29. I got to tell you your articles are hitting me hard, because it’s like you’re writing to me personally. I’m 35 and the advice you’re giving I wish I would have gotten at 29 or earlier. I spend all my time trying to see what the “experts” got to say that I rob myself of the adventure that goes along with just doing it! Tonight I saw an earlier version of my cv that I nixed, because I had graphic art on it, which I think goes along with the theme of my cv. But I read that graphic art is not acceptable. After re-doing my cv to look like the other cv’s out there i’m going to go back to my original formatted cv! Or I can send out both of them and see which one solicits the fastest response. in ‘08 i’m bucking all the cmmon held beliefs and bring in my own! I am committing to a life of turning what cold be failure into enjoying the “fruits” that a life of committed living gives you!

I feel like you’re talking directly to me. It’s uncanny.

I have a tendency to spend hours and hours and hours reading about something and rarely if ever _doing_ something with it. That’s been a problem for me most of my life.

My latest obsession has been reading blogs (and books) about programming, but not actually…programming! I’ve recently been slashing my list of feeds to the bare essentials. It’s a start…

Ouch.

Always hurts a little when a self-improvement article hits the nail on the head. =)

Thanks for the insight, Brad!
