Life of (f)Utility: Hacking the Human Race

Paradox: Good decisions comes from making Bad Decisions.

Good decisions comes from having experience. Getting experience comes from making bad decisions.

I don’t know who originally said this, but I love this quote and I find it to be very true. When I started my career as an engineer, I really floundered for a while. I still flounder all the time because I’m always taking on new problems.

I remember one of the first things I did when I started working in a factory setting was take down a very expensive piece of equipment by putting something very dirty in it. (”take down” means basically to break it) At my new job, I nearly evacuated the factory floor by spilling some nasty chemicals onto something hot. It evaporated and became very very smelly. I took an immense amount of crap for those incidents. Oh well… such is life.
