The 900 miles journey in one night \u2013 just to meet and learn in person, that\u2019s passion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This was when Vignesh came over to meet in in NYC few weeks ago (details in post linked in comments)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hard work and passion are a must if you want to advance your career<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I see people who don\u2019t want to put the hours and want success, that\u2019s like trying to learn swimming without getting into the water<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also learned that\u2019s not the only success criteria, you also have to be smart about what you are working towards and keep evolving your direction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But by no measure does smart work mean you don\u2019t put in the hours. There is no success without the grind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you are a tester and you haven\u2019t been upgrading yourself, I wouldn’t lie your up for a tough time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just testers, the entire global economy is changing, t\u2019s going to affect everyone, some a bit harder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So instead of blaming developers and rest of the world, lets buckle up and get to learning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
