As an executive you should be decisive and have the guts to cut fat and keep the company lean and nimble. If you don’t do that, the whole enterprise would be negatively affected. The moral would drop, moreover higher cash leak forces the company to take on assignments and projects that not inline with companies vision but will provide a little cash. Don’t do this. Fire people that you don’t need, keep the team small and focus on the objective.

The more I read about the history of financial systems and governments, the more I lose my respect and support for the state. They are inefficient machineries that milk their citizens in every way possible. Don’t get me wrong, I understand lots of the benefits that they provide and value of their services it’s just they need to understand that they are working for the people and their goal, like any other enterprise is to provide the best service at a reasonable cost.

I don’t know why, but I don’t seem to have either of them. I can spend the whole day watching TV and don’t write a single line of code. What is wrong with me? Why cannot I just sit down and do one thing until I get to the bottom of it? Sometimes I hate myself for it, but at the same time it feels good! I just enjoy binge watching good TV!

We have a new colleague in the office. She’s not going to work with me directly but I’ll have interactions with her occasionally. So imagine it’s her second day and not many are in the office. She asked a couple of questions and I tried to help her, even things that I’m not usually involved with, we got to a point that she doesn’t have a clear idea of what Excel is and what it does.
