Make it Worth It

If you’re going to put in the effort to make something better, to fix a problem, to build something new, to write a book. Don’t do it halfway. Don’t compromise. If you’re going to do it, make it worth the outcome you put into it. Make it worth every second so when you look back you know the value of what you did. Don’t confuse the success with sales, the success is the accomplishment.

Every Day’s Chance

Every day, is a chance to do better what you did the day before. A chance to make things better. A chance to finish the job you started. A chance to tackle the job you have been putting off. A chance to show up better. A chance to fix what is broken. Every day is a chance, as long as you’re willing to take it.

The Pieces of your Solution

Solutions are not delivered all at once. We lay the foundation months before, but changing how the team works. We identify what we need to research and how to solve the problem. We integrate new libraries and frameworks and develop patterns of implementation. And then we build and release dependent components and features ahead of time making sure they all come to together and function together. We build the risky first. And then when that is all done, what everyone sees and raves about? Is the final solution, delivered to your device of choice. But nothing happens all at once.

And that’s the day Boxing Day just became another day off for me to do anything else.
