Join 📚 Swapnil's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
It’s better to think of an employer as a customer for your business of developing software. Sure, you might only have a single customer, and all of your revenue may be coming from that single customer, but viewing the relationship this way moves you from a position of powerlessness and dependency to one of autonomy and self-direction.
There’s a scene in the movie *Lawrence of Arabia* in which Lawrence puts out a match with his fingers and doesn’t flinch. Another man watching tries to do the same and yells in pain.
“It hurts! What’s the trick, then?” he asks.
“The trick is not minding that it hurts,” Lawrence says.
This is one of the most useful life skills—enduring the pain when necessary rather than assuming there’s a hack, or a shortcut, around it.
