good advice

Wind extinguishes a candle and energises fire. Likewise with randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them.

– Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Honor your intentions, honor your values, but please , honor exactly what you need.

Remember to PAUSE: Postpone Action Until Serenity Enters

When thinking about how to value your work, remember that your work is all of it — every moment that brought you to a point, not just your “hours” worked on a project.

Never hesitate to invest in yourself—to pay for a class, a course, a new skill. These modest expenditures pay outsized dividends.
