Handsome and Cool

I'm glad to know that my son, N, doesn't lack self-confindence. The following conversation proves this point:

"Today I told some of the kids at school that I know how to eat with chopsticks," said N.

"Really," said KayEm. "What did the other kids think about that?"

"They started saying that they know how to eat with chopsticks too," said N.

"Well, maybe they do," said KayEm.

"No, they don't," said N. "They were just saying they did because the want to be handsome and cool like me."

Like father, like son.

Learn one thing (An ecology of worktime)

No matter what you are doing right now in your professional life, you gotta set this simple rule:

Learn at least one thing each day

Don't pose yourself limits on what you can learn although you got to be realist and not go beyond your capacity (of learning, of time, of healthy boundaries in the work-life balance). Set a lower limit and that's as simple as that: one thing a day.

If you learn one thing each day, you'll be able to learn hundreds of new things in a year. If you apply this on a very specific target (e.g. your particular profession) you'll be able to master your work and be reliable to others, client, colleagues, friends looking for advice.

This target goes well when you're approaching new subjects (like in new projects or when they give you new responsibilities) but you should set this target also in the ordinary workday.

That's the target I'm working on by now.
