Don’t focus on the words, focus on the meaning.

There are 3 things. Learn, Build, Show. In your words Do things, Tell people, reflect… repeat .

This is the smallest feedback loop of intentional development.

Describe how you work as a team.

Unfortunately i lost her at Legos. It is LEGO or Lego or lego. There is no plural form of LEGO.

Seriously, I was more than willing to complete this survey until I got through the first 6 questions and saw that my percentage complete was only 10%. Rethink your survey and reduce the number of questions because filling out the answers to potentially 60 questions is not how I wish to spend my time. I am not everyone but I am sure there are a few people just like me, that passed or bailed half way through your survey because of how long it is.

ditto on all 3.

Achieving something by accident feels like failure in comparison to achieving something on purpose.

A sense of purpose is integral to your sense of worth, your self-esteem and fuels your ambition.

Goals are useless if you don't have any ambition. Ambition is absent when you have no goals.

You should never measure yourself with someone else's measuring stick. You should always establish your own measuring stick. So that you will always know what you have achieved and what you believe is success.

Leaving yourself open to being measured by others is an invitation to be controlled by others. Once you give up that control, you will never be happy with the direction they push you. You will never truly believe in what you do and you will lose your sense of purpose and feel like a puppet.

People who say their don't believe in goals are lying or aimlessly floating through life achieving nothing.

A goal is not a plan, it is an end result. A successful person will constantly assess and alter their plan to meet their goal.

Sometimes setting a goal is the quickest way to find out you aren't really interested in that goal and you are lead to what your really believe to be important.

If you only want to be a programmer, drop out. Anyone can learn how to program.

The unfortunate thing is that so many people believe that. As a result there is a saturation of poor programmers and weeding through the mess of poor programmers vs good/smart/intelligent/imaginative programmers is a pain in the ass.

Most people (not all) who hire, will weed out programmers who apply without a CS degree.

I am not saying a CS degree is better than 10 years experience.

I am saying you will have to deal with humans just like yourself who have their own perceptions and their own beliefs about what is or is not required to be hired.

So when you apply for that job and you don't have a CS degree or 10 years experience what do you have?

You have nothing to prove that you are the genius that you are.

Join an open source project if you are that eager to get your hands dirty.

Dude. Be honest. Its over. You aren't looking for answer on what to do. You already have it. You want to know if your indifference to her is poor form or if you are still a human.

She wanted to know if you thought she was more important than your career. If you would give everything up for her. All women want to know that.

Clearly because you have to think about it, she is not most important. She knows it. You know it. (example: "I really did like my relationship with my girlfriend...")

Be honest. Grow a pair. You aren't a bad person.

Smile this is life and you are participating.
