I’ve worked with too many young co-workers who seem to want to be promoted to some sort of management position at their 6-month review and then they get mad and discouraged when they aren’t. After 45 years in IT, I can assure you that any job worth having is going to take time, work, and experience.

Probably a good idea, yes.

For running, tech skills, giving back to the community, space…all that stuff. So many people trying to sell “become a DBA in a Day” and “Get rich quick” stuff.

Incremental, indeed.

Maybe I need to spend 5 minutes a day focusing on why I need to spend that 15 minutes a day thing…

One can look back at life and see where encouragement or some piece of advice has been given at exactly the right time at exactly the right place. This post has a plethora of analogies that can be related to and I agree with 100% certainty that there are no shortcomings and to obtain something you have to work hard for it. That aside it is posts like this that we garner encouragement from. Appreciate the reminder.
