Dailydave: Re: The Week of Oracle Database Bugs [slightly off-topic]

One of the things that we observe today are the levels of ridicule and
hurt that is deployed within our ecosystem ( i.e. security / biz /
whatever ). In the past, I've been guilty of it myself and have to
often try and watch that I do not repeat it.

Recently, we got to listen to an old man who designed missile guidance
systems and stuff in his younger days, here are a few things that he
shared :

<quote>

- Never consider yourself bigger or better or greater than others. In
my dealings with people who considered themselves great or small, I
always treat them as real people equally valuable to G-d.

- Judge people by their attitude and effort and not by their output.

- Learn to fan the flames than put out the fire. We naturally tend to
overlook the 98% which was done well but magnify the 2% that was not.

- Pray for everyone in sight.. Forgive those who hurt you unreasonably
.. understand that healed people heal people and hurt people hurt
people.

Very simple stuff but if it works for this old gun, I have a feeling
that it may work for the rest of us.
