Tim O’Reilly’s three rules
21/01/20091) Work on something that matters more than money.
2) Create more value than you capture (that’s the kind of DNA that’s winning the day now).
3) Take the long view.

I will keep on feeding my thoughts about Education, trying new things born from awesome Internet technology, and will never stop sharing. Finally, I will reach out to the local and online community, teach what I can, learn as much as I can.

我发现大多数人开展新工作、新项目和新爱好不外乎三种原因:
这三项满足了我们一些最基本的需求—为我们提供能力、兴趣、作贡献以及成长的机会。如果你有耐心,请容许我讲解范例A: 兴趣 – 成长 – 现金三角形。

以下是一些活动在图上的表现:

入门阶段的工作 - 无聊但赚钱的工作 - 爱好而已
有些人可能认同这样的理念:可以做无聊但报酬丰厚的工作,然后用剩余的时间和金钱享受自己的爱好。我不敢苟同。原因是——如果你把两个三角合并起来,结果如下:

换言之,其结果是你丢掉了大(三角形)蛋糕的其他部分。做自己喜欢的事情,并得到报酬,在此过程中不断学习新东西,这是很快乐的。你的目标应该是将每次的经验最大化,然后尝试尽可能多地涉猎大三角中的新区域。
如果工作很无聊,那么用新方法从中学东西。如果你有自己万分感兴趣的爱好,可以将其变为职业。如果你刚开始一份新工作,那么在其中融入你非常痴迷的内容。

行动
重新衡量你所做的每件事。赶紧拿支笔,给每项工作、项目和爱好都画个三角形。挨个仔细查看。从中你还能得到什么?如果这无法帮你把大三角扩展到最大,那么就辞旧迎新吧。
Writing a blog helps you organize your thoughts, improves your writing skills, and teaches you to make good arguments (and recognize bad ones).
None of that requires having an audience. At least an audience larger than your friends and coworkers.
If you like to write, don’t stop writing because it’s not “where the buzz is at”. There’s more to life than following trends. (said randrews)
And so it is.
