Brené Brown: Why Your Critics Aren't The Ones Who Count
This talk by Dr. Brene Brown made my day... Its simply beautiful...
Falling short of words... Thank you so much...
It is not the critic who counts;
Falling short of words... Thank you so much...
It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
-Theodore Roosevelt (1910)
It is not about winning, it is not about losing. It is about showing up and being seen.
8:02
I want to show up and be seen in my work and in my life.
16:40
There's a couple things you need:
1. A real clarity of values.
2. A loved one (someone who loves you, not despite your imperfections and vulnerabilities, but because of them, and they should have great seats in the arena).
One of these seats need to be reserved for you.
~21:50
The person who believes in what we're doing and why we're doing it, and the person who says, yeah its so scary to show up, it feels dangerous to be seen, its terrifying, but it is not as scary, dangerous or terrifying as getting to the end of our lives and thinking what if I would've shown up, what would've been different?

The Value of Being Disliked - Robin Sharma
You can be a change-maker. You can be liked by everyone around you. You don't get to do both.
Every visionary was once ridiculed before they were revered.
You'll be called eccentric.
Be okay with being eccentric.
Because all world changes were eccentric.
They were considered strange.
They were called weird.
They were laughed at.
They didn't fit in.
But it was worth it.
Transformation lives in the awareness.
Your behaviour starts to match the new awareness.

4 Tips For Handling Criticism : Julie Hanks
When someone criticises you:
1. Consider the Source.
How much do you care about this person?
How much do you trust them?
How close are they to you?
Do they tend to criticise everybody?
2. Decode the emotional message.
close relationships
eg. wow! u really want to spend time with me.
3. Separate your worth from your performance.
We all have value because we exist.
Our performance on any given day will go up or down.
And usually people are criticising our performance.
Worth is consistent. Performance goes up and down.
4. You be the judge.
Is there any truth in it?
We all deal with criticism in pretty much every relationship.
You're worth and you have value even though people aren't always happy with what you do.
Emotional Spring Cleaning - Julie Hanks
1. Cultivate Quiet Time.
2. Jot it in a Journal.
If you do it on a regular basis, clearing out your heart, and your mind, then it doesn't build up.
3. Give up a Grudge.
4. Offer an Apology.
5. Forgive your Faults.
Positive self-talk.
6. Tell the Truth.
Tell your emotional truth.
We all need each other.
Telling your emotional truth in your relationships allows people to comfort you or nurture you or support you which is what we all need ultimately.
The surprising secret to speaking with confidence | Caroline Goyder | TED Talks
1. The voice is an instrument.
If you ever doubt the sound of your voice, all you have to do is practice.
Believe in yourself.
Singing is the way to a great voice.
Practice is the way to a great instrument.
2. The diaphragm is the key to your confidence.
A relaxed breathing pattern.
If I get into my breathing, I get into the unconscious.
I calm myself down.
So what's within you is the key to this relaxed confident power.
The diaphragm is the key to regulating your system, is how you calm yourself down when you stand in front of all the eyes.
3. If you want confidence in speech, know when to shut your mouth.
We breathe our thoughts.
All speech is out breath. And all in breath is thought.
If we were to breathe in and then speak on that feeling then we have excitement in our voices.
You can control your voice with the idea of breath is thought.
Inspiration and Respiration have the same root.
And because we speak on the out-breath, all you have to think about is the in-breath.
And you know the simplest way to think about the in-breath, close your mouth.
Overcoming hopelessness | Nick Vujicic | TED Talks
We have a choice. Either to be angry for what we don’t have or be thankful for what we do have.

Redefining Complete : Developer Tea
There are multiple levels of completion that make up truly complete code.
1. Is your code tested?
2. Your code needs to be verified.
Verification means that not only have you tested your software but you have verified that the solution meets the users' needs.
Typically this involves a bit more human evaluation rather than programatic evaluation.
No tests will cover every possible use case.
3. You need to review that code.
You're gonna be a great developer if you can adopt this standard for your code completion.

Demystifying Code : Developer Tea
https://spec.fm/podcasts/developer-tea/38389
Book: letters on a page.
Collaborating... ?
Those letters represent a story.
Code is very similar to this.
Code is like a book in a lot of ways.
Code should be considered a representation of ideas.
So how can you start demystifying code.
Three basic ideas for comprehending code, things you need to identify specifically to comprehend code:
Three basic ideas for comprehending code, things you need to identify specifically to comprehend code:
1. Identify the writing style.
(4:00)
Code just like books has an author.
All code has been authored by someone, perhaps multiple people.
The style of code is influenced by a lot of things and you need to understand what style of code you are reading.
The style is influenced by:
- the language it is written in.
- the author.
- the job of the code.

paradigms: functional, object-oriented...
author: verbose (many comments / less comments)...
2. Identify the setting.
Where is this code being run?
server, client-browser, distributed...
Collaborating... ?
Is it a part of legacy code?
3. Identify the plot of the code.
Unlike most books, most code doesn't read top to bottom. Instead it's gonna read more like a choose your adventure novel.
What function starts the code?
What function starts the code?
Mostly, code has more than one entry and exit points.
What is the big idea the full story of this particular piece of code?
What is the starting point and the outcome?
Why does this code exist?
Do I have enough information to understand the big idea?
Once you understand the purpose for the code, you'll likely be able to identify the big plot points in the code you are working on.

Three Things Aspiring Developers Should Be Doing Today : Developer Tea
1. Eliminate the bottom 20.
Cutting out the bottom 20% of what you are spending your time on.
Identify the activities you are participating in, that are not adding value to your life.
This is really an exercise of focus.
This applies to both your professional and personal life.
What this does for you is that it provides margin. And that margin will allow you the space to focus on what actually provides value in your life.
Don't immediately fill that 20% up with work.
Its important that you have margin that is not filled up in your life.
2. Make one single value statement for the next six months.
Write it down.
Put it somewhere you can see it every single day.
(How you want to marginally grow in the next six months?)
Then derive more specific goals.
Stick with it for entire six months.
3. Make learning about yourself a priority.
Investing time in becoming self-aware, learning about yourself, that is time well spent.
