Brent's Personal Manifesto

  1. I will eat every dish in every cuisine.
  2. I will visit every continent, except Antarctica. It's too cold. I will bring back and live with a personal souvenir from each continent.
  3. I will be a samurai coder.
  4. A clean brain keeps me running at full speed.
  5. Everyone needs a healthy body.
  6. I want an unusually strong body.
  7. This is my life. My one chance. This is not a drill.
  8. You can never have too many friends.
  9. Be nice to everyone. Everyone.
  10. People will criticize your work. Harshly. Get used to it.
  11. I will always be on-time (read: early) to all my appointments.
  12. I will process all mail, email, notes-to-self, etc. within 48 hours.
  13. I will learn a new language every 2 years.
  14. I will write every day.
  15. I will do weekly, monthly, and quarterly personal reviews.
  16. Nobody cares unless you've delivered.
  17. Whatever I plan to do first thing in the morning...won't get done.
