1. Being a team player means: your work should always be "open sourced", your ideas should always be a "BETA version".
2. Never be over-optimistic. I'm so greatful to my wise decision that I didn't throw out the text book even when the accounting professor told us "no more cost accounting" in last term, as we now actually have two more financial/accounting courses this term using the same textbook---So...for people not that into accounting & financial stuff, better get over the fear, as we know in the real world, accountants are always sitting top of corporae hierarchy structure and you have to deal with them all the time.
3. It is true that being an early adopter means wasting money, while my observation from my peer tech guys tells me staying abreast with most advanced technolgy, you are actually making life easier and somehow eaning more time to get more money (to be proved :p).
4. Move fast. This is like the common strategy of many well-established incumbents in the telecommunication industry: if not able to lead a trend, at least, move fast enouth to be "involed in the trend" even if ROE is not clear. The underlying assumption is if you are not the first to cannibalize the potential market, someone else will be, which might lead to another story like Kodark---just reminince its strategy for digital camera.
5. Geeks are passionate engineers creating new widgets to get things done faster and easier. Geeks are well-structured people preferring numerical graphs and charts and tables with highlighted points. Comments from geeks are direct, tech details oriented of course, sometimes harsh, but that is for the sake of "problem solving".
6. There is no born smart guys (smart-looking? yes!)---They are performing extremely well because they are working much harder than you, they are task-oriented, they are very patient to make trials and tests and have failures before the ultimate version is done.
To be continued...
