Balancing your passion, purpose, and paycheck in the modern workplace

HAVE A PURPOSE

(do something important)

Johann Gutenberg (1440)

Aaron Lufkin Denison (1861)

-Douglas Engelbart

The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.

-  Herbert Simon

    Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.

-Steve Jobs

  Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

  If you don't think that your career will be important or world-changing... 

you're right.

HAVE PRINCIPLES

Principles == Values

DON'T LIE

*

DON'T LIE*

(especially to yourself)

Principle == Cause

  The activist lifestyle is not just for social activism. As a technologist, you can recognize a wrong in the world. You can have a vision for what a better world could be, and you can dedicate yourself to fighting for a principle. 

- Bret Victor

When I see ideas dying, it hurts.

 

To me it feels like a moral wrong. An injustice. 

 

  It's not an opportunity--it's a responsibility. 

Principle == Cause

Scott Belsky

Pierre Omidyar

What Do You Do?

How would you define what Elizabeth Cady Stanton did for a career?

How will you define

what you do 

for a career?

-Dolly Parton

Find out who you are, 

and do it on purpose. 

 

eBay RUINED me

Hugh Macleod

YOU ARE INTERVIEWING THEM

 

IN-BETWEEN TIME BELONGS TO YOU

DON'T ASK PERMISSION

  The best way to complain is to make things

- James Murphy

MERITOCRACY

CARVE IT OUT YOURSELF

YOU'RE NEVER READY

SEE BENEFIT OF

"POINTED STICK"

YOUR INDUSTRY

(is friggin' amazing!)

TEACH

THOSE WHO CAN

DO

THOSE WHO CAN'T

TEACH

THOSE WHO CAN

SHOULDN'T

SHOULD

THOSE WHO CAN'T

TEACH

- Peter Drucker

We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change.

And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.

  I think it's dishonorable to stay stupider than you have to be.

- Charles Munger

DON'T FEAR FREEDOM

-Seth Godin

WHAT TO DO WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN

(and it's always your turn)                 (2016)

    We willfully create the illusion that we have no choice because it's frightening to be free.

 

But the deeper we look, the more we realize just how much choice we actually have. The choice of which roads to take and, more profoundly, which ones we choose not to take.

DO IT

IS HE WRONG?

(or not profound?)

- Soren Kierkegaard

  Do it or do not do it -

you will regret both.

 

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.  

ONE LAST THING...
