This week’s post is supposed to be a kind of “final
lecture”, but I can’t seem to think of anything that I would say to anyone. I
can’t really give specific advice since everyone has different circumstances
and personalities, so what works for me may not work for anyone else. I can’t
tell people to not mess up, because some of my best learning experiences have
come from my failings. Like last week’s lesson, I have learned a lot from “failing
forward”. It’s good for everyone to have that little touch of humility amid the
successes that come in life. Maybe the best advice that I can give is to just
keep trying to improve. Whether it is a product, yourself, or a skill, keep
trying to improve. Figure out what works best for you and what doesn’t.
Sometimes knowing what doesn’t work is just as important as knowing what does.
There are always changes that can be made. Products can always be improved,
because time has a way of making yesterday’s perfect product into an antique.
No person is perfect, except Christ, so improving one’s self is an ongoing,
eternal project. Skills can get close to
perfection, but each skill has its tributaries to master as well. Keep trying
to improve.
