Slashdot Mirror
What Should I Do With My Life?
Bamafan77 writes "FastCompany's website has an interesting article about what it means to be successful that I think builds nicely upon a recent Slashdot discussion. That Slashdot thread was about a study that wanted to find out if there is a link between college rejection and success. This new article asks a more basic question that many people struggle with: what does it mean to be successful and how do I achieve it? This article is an excerpt from a new book by Po Bronson which details the personal lives of several people, many of whom are very talented and superficially successful, who switched gears to try to find that 'thing' they are impassioned about. One interesting excerpt that might particularly hit home to the Slashdot community is Bronson's tidbit about a Rockwell manager who left his job because, though it was mentally challenging, lacked a deeper level of gratification. What is this man doing now? He's a cop in East LA."

I dream of big machines.
I dream of big machines multi-processor server beasts.
I fall asleep to the soothing whirr of RAID arrays grinding in the background.
Endless lines of monotous code fill my head as I down one too many Jolts with the coffee cup still on my desk.
I hold onto the mouse like a lifeline because it is.
This is what I always wanted. This is what I got.
I am not afraid.

So, am I successful? I have about six zeros followed by a couple other numbers then the decimal.
He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send your fingerprints off to Washington."
I love all these articles that tell you how to be successful in life/work/love/etc
is that a standard directory in some linux distro i haven't used yet? can i see your config files?
btw, agree with everything you said.
I'm sure someone else can come up with another more efficient routine, but here's my first stab at it:
for (i=1;in-1;i++)
{
printf("%d: %s\n", i, print_step(i));
}
printf("%d: ???\n", n-1);
printf("%d: Profit!\n", n);
mm ya.. now.. if it only was actually funny..
Actually, to get things truly to the SEI level 5, would be to create a harmonious working atmosphere where the business process accurately reflected the way which the work is actually done. If I could have a hand in bringing that to the people, I would feel like a hero.
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
