Some people consciously choose to fail!
Usually people write about their success stories… Well, I decided to write about what I call my failure story. You can consider this blog as part of a documentary book on the quickest steps and worst practices to attain failure smoothly!
From my point of view, a good and very fast way to failure starts with having to deal with uneducated not willing to learn people who reinvent the wheel in everything they do while thinking they are making great achievements for humanity, which is of course by going many steps backward! Such people highly rely in their work on the concept of pretending to be smart and on applying theories in very wrong ways. This always ends with catastrophic failures in projects accompanied by huge financial losses.
In our contemporary life, these people are not rare, I think they invaded and dominated the fields of Software Development and Software Development Management, though there are still many many good people who try to rectify things and save the world!
There Is Always Hope
I am not pessimistic… To look at the bright side of the picture, you can consider that avoiding the mentioned above steps may lead you to success.
For a couple of years now, I’ve been thinking about early retirement as my work-life is a series of hard work in conjunction with stressful projects and circumstances which keep escalating from a project to another.
I finally decided to take some time for myself to rest and to take my breath while re-evaluating the past years’ experience. I’ve also decided to share my experience with the world hoping it can be of use for anyone. The only thing I regret is writing from memory, as I forgot lots of events and details.
I think this blog is the only deed I’ve done in my practical life, though it may be considered as some kind of a black sarcastic diary!
If I still exist, I guess I’ll have about some other 20-25 years to go… and I want to make them different!
Hopefully, there will be light at the end of the tunnel… I really hope!
