Yes. This. Be kind.
@Sheril
Great career advice and great life advice
I say to my kids (when they are being horrid): kindness, kindness, kindness and kindness
Be kind, to everything.
Itโs good advice.
Iโm still figuring out how to deal with people that mistake kindness for weaknessโฆ Those that would exploit kindness for sport, piss me off.
Iโd like to think that my default settings is something resembling pleasant and friendlyโฆ
It takes negative stimuli of some sort to trigger ๐ mode..
Iโm only human.
We all have our boundaries and limits.
Best life advice ๐
@Sheril Excellent advice. May I add: always think of yourself as self employed, a contractor. As we are seeing in the news corporations have no obligation to keep you employed. Learn to be your own boss.
The graveyards are full of indispensable men, Charles de Gaulle once remarked.
That's a great goal but not achievable by most of us in this age of fascism. Musk, MTG, Gosar, DeSantis, False Idol, Koch, Thiel, Jordan. .. the list goes on. Very difficult to keep balance and seeing beyond their hatred and policies that instigates violence and horrific suffering.
@Sheril The one that always stuck with me:
"Don't be an arsehole. Share what you know."
@Sheril I think that is more like life advice. Career advice would be like:
"Try and always work towards learning something new in your profession."
I am a Knowledge Management Specialist in IT if I stop learning new stuff I am dead.
