What I learned in 2007
I have to say, 2007 was a crappy year for me. Here’s a list of things I learned.
1) Family > everything.
2) Never go into business with someone you’ve known for less than three months. That’ll give you enough time to see the happy/sad/sober/drunk/depressed side of them, and see how they treat you. Usually, drunk + depressed is a bad mix.
3) If someone has a blog in which they openly bash others, chances are you’ll be next. Even if they swear you won’t be.
4) A drastic change may be the best thing you ever do.
5) If you ever have a feeling in the back of your head that someone may be a bit “off”, be wary. It’s your subconscious screaming at you.
6) This is going to sound cliché, but if you have a goal, finish it.
7) Time management.
8 ) If you don’t like someone, move on. Real friends shouldn’t treat you like shit.
9) Re-read your emails before sending.
10) There may be a perfectly good explanation.
11) There are people out there that don’t think “internet people” are real, therefore, they treat them differently than real people because they don’t have to deal with the real-world consequences.
12) You might be wrong.
13) It’ll be there in the morning.
14) The world is getting smaller. Be excellent to each other. You never know who you might bump into at the next trade show.
15) If you don’t have time to use it, don’t buy it.
16) Do absolutely, everything you can to not get financially screwed by someone.
17) Don’t take your frustrations out on others.
18) People that are perpetually angry make bad friends.
For 2008:
1) It’s not worth “trying to see the good in people”. If someone’s 90% prick, the other 10% isn’t worth having around.
2) Time management.
3) Still working on that goal. Getting closer.
4) Be excellent to each other.
5) Family > everything
