Career is Not:
The competition challenges individuals to prove their relevance, contributions, and visibility. It can become a cycle of constantly demonstrating skills, communication, and expertise to outshine others in a highly competitive landscape. The relentless pursuit of visibility creates a dynamic where comparisons become inevitable, even when the differences are as distinct as apples and oranges. We find ourselves not only competing with direct peers but also with colleagues across various divisions, all striving to be recognized and make a meaningful impact.
Career Is:
Take time to build your perspectives and focus on what you can do during your peak years of good health and availability. A career is more about experience and shaping what truly makes you happy. It’s a marathon, not a sprint - plan your journey in phases and balance your priorities.
"Growth is not measured by how far ahead you are of others, but by how deeply you understand yourself and how intentionally you shape your journey."
The Experimenter’s Mindset: Focus, Iterate, Persist!
- Productivity = Focused Time
- Ideation = Aha! Moment + Iteration
- Right Idea + Confidence = Realization
- Don’t stop experimenting just because you haven’t learned everything.
- Some fundamentals and assumptions will evolve as you learn from mistakes.
- Persistence > Time / Data / Needs / Tech Perspectives
- Success = Sticking to your idea despite constraints!
