“If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished.”
Not sure where I first heard this one, but I like it and often use it at work. In the tech world things rarely go right the first time you try something, so the trick to looking like a pro is have an attitude like, “Of course it worked, it was me doing the work.”
More wisdom next week,
Andrew

I’m always so stunned when I accomplish anything that I have any sort of passion for. I never expect to succeed at these activities. I feel so peculiar about it too because I’m an offspring of parents who always expected to succeed.

It does feel a bit weird somethings when things work the first time.
