You’re telling me no, no, no
You don’t want to let your love go!

6be53c9d16f102dd.pngI made a house of houselessness,
A garden of your going:
And seven trees of seven wounds
You gave me, all unknowing:
I made a feast of golden grief
That you so lordly left me,
I made a bed of all the smiles
Whereof your lip bereft me:
I made a sun of your delay,
Your daily loss, his setting:
I made a wall of all your words
And a lock of your forgetting.


— Rose O’Neill

How many mystery writers does it take to change a lightbulb?


Two! One to change the bulb, and the other to give it an unexpected twist at the end!

Nine sources of advantage:


  1. Raw talent/intelligence - Some people are just naturally better and smarter.
  2. Hard work - Some people work harder.
  3. Differentiation - Seeing the world differently. Doing something different. Reading different books. Interpreting the same information differently.
  4. Process / Discipline - Creating a process and following it. Working out every day is a great example.
  5. Talent Collector - The ability to hire the best people and get the most out of them.
  6. Patience - A lack of patience changes the outcome.
  7. Ability to take pain - Are you willing to look like an idiot to get better? How much risk are you willing to take, AND, importantly, can you handle the losses?
  8. Temperament - Keeping your head when everyone else is losing theirs.
  9. Luck

Most of these are within your control.

Tried configuring a network connected printer on two #Linux machines this past week. One unnamed and the other @linuxmint.


The unnamed machine took nearly a day to configure, with looking up packages and ports and HCL lists and driver packages and what not.


#LinuxMint on the other hand went, “Hello there, you have a printer on the network! Want to print to it? Also that thing’s got a scanner too, want to be able to use it? Done and done!”


Took all of 5 seconds.


Thank you @linuxmint
