New Year Resolution 2009

Keeping up with the small ‘habit’ started in the year 2000, the following have emerged as the natural NYRs (New Year Resolutions) for the year 2009. I will try to keep them in mind while the year passes by and try to align my priorities (big word actually!!) along these lines

1. Generate IDEAS, reach to key CONCLUSIONS fast
2. Build a stronger grip on the FUNDAMENTALS

Hope I would be a few important steps ahead in my learning curve at the end the year and also would also have better self awareness. Wish me luck!! And share you NYR!!

Career planning equals career limiting

In Marc Andreessen's words, you can't plan your career because you have no idea what's going to happen in the future. He believes that you will have no idea what industries you will be entering, what companies you will be working for, what roles you will be having, where you will end up living or what you will contribute ultimately to the world.

We are all subjected to change and you will change, industries will change, the world will change and we cannot possibly predict any of it. In other words, what he's saying is that if we attempt to plan our career, it will most probably be an exercise in futility. In the end, it may frustrate us and blind us to the really significant opportunities that life will throw our way.

Therefore, he says that:
Career planning = career limiting
and the sooner we come to terms with that, the better.
