They don’t know the reasons, or they don’t have the ability we have to work them into their own web copy. I am goals-oriented and have great attention to detail. It Isn’t an Interview You’re all savvy readers, so I’m sure you recognize the problem here. No one is goals-oriented. Oooooookay.

Maybe you think you’re a brilliant negotiator, but that may be just an inconsistent cloud in your ego. The assets I already owned combined with the value of the transaction put me in the position to be evaluated at over 1 million dollars. Being a millionaire, who doesn’t want to be that? Because that’s the spot where you’re going to invest.

In the last two months I started a consulting project (quite a big one, it will end in March next year) where I have to spend a few hours every day in an office, evaluating progress of a team, provisioning, negotiating deals, creating and implementing strategies and so on. That was a very uncomfortable place for me to be.

The goal is to keep your attention steady, without being distracted. And it does that by constantly monitoring the incoming flow of planes, the available departure lanes, the weather, the remote airports availability, the flight schedule and maybe a thousand of other parameters.

Well, I like to think I invented it (didn’t find it in a dictionary anyway). And it literally means: “without a script” (yeah, right). Beyond this rather light introduction there’s a far more serious theme for this article, and, at least for me, a far more important challenge: how to avoid playing roles in our lives?

Speaking of errors, specifically about error messages, after 30 days of learning Objective C I am totally convinced that the error messages in Xcode were invented by a joyous and careless hermit, with the only goal of driving programmers crazy. There is also a little reward at the end of this post. You’ve been warned. Wow, really?
