Have You Got The Right Stuff?

If you are reading this, and following my blog, I am sure that you are somewhat like me.  I'm a trained system administrator with some rather significant projects under my belt.  Tackling VMware is not something that I have to be timid about at this stage because I've developed a thick skin and more than one way to get around obstacles other than brute force perseverance, but that can be very helpful, along with a stiff cup of coffee or espresso!

Have you ever wondered if you could keep going from project to project "unbroken" with one or more employers having a string of successes one after the other?  What is the largest project you have worked on?  Or do you take it is it a given that you will persevere and make it without a hitch?  There may be setbacks in everything from training to the application of your knowledge.  If you have acquired a degree or been in the field long enough, you know what I speak of.

In your downtime, I'll bet you pursue multiple interests to keep you from reaching burnout.  Few of us can work 60, 70, 80 hours per week, month after month without losing a little of our edge and interest. What are your interests?  Do you have a family and children?  Are you an athlete or are you a fan of one or more athletic events?  Are you a bookworm moving from author to author reading one topic alone, or a multitude of different topics?

On Twitter, I follow subject matter related to the singularity, space exploration being performed by SpaceX and NASA, NHL ice hockey, the accurate reproduction of music, as well as having interests in systems administration and DevOps applications, python, Linux and Microsoft administration, networking and VMware.  Regarding all of these technologies that we are developing, and maintaining, do you really think that mankind can continue to produce systems and the systems will not somehow become adapted to human use for the supplementation of mankind?  Better see what those in support of the melding of man and machine have to say.

While you are thinking if you have the "right stuff," capable of managing a project for 50, 250, 1,000 seats or more perhaps spend some time thinking about what it takes to lead an entire nation to greatness as a pilot for aeronautical and aerospace systems prior to the NASA Space Shuttle.


While I am reading my new text on VMware certification on the DCA-DCV, keep yourself busy reading the following FREE texts and see what it means to have a never quit attitude: X-15: Extending the Frontiers of Flight, The Smell of Kerosene: A Test Pilot's Odyssey, and you may also check here are a few more texts that demonstrate what having the right stuff is all about.


Happy Reading!  vDM30in30
