Learning the Hard Way

Recently I was reflecting on the early days of my career and some of the lessons I heard and then learned.  I say it that way to indicate there was a difference in what I was taught or read, knew better, and didn't follow that direction, and then learned "Oops, I guess I should have listened."

Please consider the context of these lessons are unique and I am not trying to write a book to cover every scenario.  Think of these are a catalyst for thought, the intent is to make you think about these ideas and make your own decisions based on an alternate view.  Please excuse typos and grammar mistakes, I am not great at proofing my own writing.
