APW’s“Roast

Duck”Talk

“You have to sit by the river a very long time before a roast duck will fly into your mouth”

- Chinese Proverb

Find your passion

Find a teacher

I am self-employedregardless of who pays me.

The path is not always straight

Someone else’s win is not always your loss

Catch site of your reflection

Keep the beginner’s mind

Respect the centerline

Time & attention are finite

(don’t put crap in your box)

Concept: Joel Spolsky / Merlin Mann

Feed me!

Is this my monkey?

Teach others and you will learn

No knowledge is useless

Make Sandwiches

(Don’t just take orders)Concept: Merlin Mann
