One of the things that we observe today are the levels of ridicule and hurt that is deployed within our ecosystem ( i.e. security / biz / whatever ). In the past, I've been guilty of it myself and have to often try and watch that I do not repeat it. Recently, we got to listen to an old man who designed missile guidance systems and stuff in his younger days, here are a few things that he shared : <quote> - Never consider yourself bigger or better or greater than others. In my dealings with people who considered themselves great or small, I always treat them as real people equally valuable to G-d. - Judge people by their attitude and effort and not by their output. - Learn to fan the flames than put out the fire. We naturally tend to overlook the 98% which was done well but magnify the 2% that was not. - Pray for everyone in sight.. Forgive those who hurt you unreasonably .. understand that healed people heal people and hurt people hurt people. </quote> Very simple stuff but if it works for this old gun, I have a feeling that it may work for the rest of us. _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
