"monkeyhat11" What values do you hold dear?
  1. God
  2. Country
  3. Family
"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Career plans have changed every 3 years

Values, great question, some thoughts:

  • "Be excellent to each other and party on, dudes"
  • Treat others the way you want to be treated & pay it forward
  • "Discipline equals freedom" (stoicism)
  • Family
  • "Act as if"
Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
 

One of Odog’s Life Axioms:

Have Power and people will seek your Power

Have Wealth and people will seek your Wealth

Have fun and enjoy life and people will seek your company

Have compassion as well as ambition and you’ll go far in life. I am interested in digital immortality. Check out my blog at digitalimmortality.com
 

The values I hold dear are the same as one of the mottos of the Polish military:

  • Bóg (God)
  • Honor
  • Ojczyzna (Fatherland)
Quant (ˈkwänt) n: An expert, someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
