Milton Glaser: Ten Things I Have Learned

While a lot of these lists seem rehashed and boring, this list contains some great outlook on life that I really agree with. Favorites are definitely #8, #1, and #10.

It doesn't matter...if your boss looks at you cockeyed or your boyfriend or girlfriend looks at you cockeyed, if you are cockeyed.

I thought that was a funny bit.

From #3:

"If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible and I suggest that you use it for the rest of your life."

I will. This explains so much. Not just with other people, but with everything. May even shed some insight to a little "procrastination" problem a few of us here share.

And as a hacker, I really appreciate a binary rule to evaluate something so complex. Thank you!

I think you need to have a running average or debouncing of this kind of feedback. No relationship is so consistent that you'll get the same feeling after a meeting every time.

I agree it's a solid rule - that could be applied to activities not just people. Good videogames, for example, might be judged by this rubric.

Yeah, it's damn near impossible to work for (or with!) people you don't like. I have limited life experience, but what I've learned definitely fits with #1.

Some kinds of schooling are beneficial in the long term. I know plenty of folks that thought getting their PhD was painful, and were glad they did it.
