- Your Highlight on page 14 | location 204-207 | Added on Thursday, 31 December 2020 06:07:11
A flight is delayed because of weather—no amount of yelling at an airline representative will end a storm. No amount of wishing will make you taller or shorter or born in a different country. No matter how hard you try, you can’t make someone like you. And on top of that, time spent hurling yourself at these immovable objects is time not spent on the things we can change.

- Your Highlight at location 608-610 | Added on Monday, 1 February 2021 20:54:55
If it takes a lot of courage to admit you don’t know all the answers, just imagine how hard it is to admit you don’t even know the right question. But if you ask the wrong question, you are almost guaranteed to get the wrong answer.

- Your Highlight on page 30 | location 452-454 | Added on Monday, 1 February 2021 20:58:59
Don't blame someone or something else, or make up an excuse. Don't blame all the problems on a vendor, a programming language, management, or your coworkers. Any and all of these may play a role, but it is up to you to provide solutions, not excuses.

- Your Highlight on page 30 | location 450-451 | Added on Monday, 1 February 2021 20:59:24

- Your Highlight on page 16 | location 233-234 | Added on Monday, 1 February 2021 21:23:28
