Apprenticeship key little learnings
What do people expect a person to learn in being an apprentice? Skills? Sure. But there's more to it than just skills...
* Don't be shy to speak but don't be aggressive. The best way to avoid both is to stop thinking this is about you.
* Never be rash. The best goal with the wrong means is not good. The best means with the wrong goal is equally bad.
* If you want to be afraid to learn, be afraid to make mistakes
* So try. Dare. Create. Not necessarily in that order.
* Apprenticeship is all about being an example and never about position. Yesterday, you too were not allowed in the sups' conference room. And the day will come when you will not be allowed back in there again. So stay humble.
* Knowledge is like underwear. People will know if you don't have one. So don't be afraid to ask time to look for the answer.
* A compliment can make your day. An accomplishment paves the way. Value what really lasts.
* So forget about the credit. Keep creating, keep solving, keep helping. The people you help will be the one to take care of your recognition for you without you asking for it or even without you knowing it.
* Be an authority or be a proof that anything is possible for those who try. Influence wisely.
* Don't confuse people with deliverables.
* Honor the process but don't disrepect people.
* It is still better to understand than to be understood. Listen. And use simple words.
* Practice the discipline of tweeting. People are busy and get dozens of emails all day.
* Be able. But be available also.
* You're not expected to be perfect. You're expected to be present.
* Don't just bring up an issue. Be part of the solution. Share your ideas!
* And be ready to be rejected too. Cheerful and ready.
* Don't be afraid to start at the bottom again. Some songs do make sense: It is the climb!
* The best way to be ungrateful to your mentor is to continue unchanged.
* Do the possible and God will do the impossible.
Now we're ready to talk about skills...
