Writing

I started blogging about web

      found that explaining things to
      other people helped me

Curiosity and playing with
   things. Fuck blogs, events,
   books. Play has always taught
   me more than anything else.
   There is no substitute for direct
   experience.
   Mark Norman Francis

It’s Up To You (Not Your Boss)


gareth rushgrove | morethanseven.net
Fail lots. You can learn a lot from
       other people, but the best way
       of getting better at anything is to
       make mistakes.
      James Aylett



gareth rushgrove | morethanseven.net
When you find something that
    you find interesting take the time
    to figure out why. It lets you
    learn from other peoples'
    experience and understand
    your own bias.
    Mike Stenhouse

gareth rushgrove | morethanseven.net
Everyone I respect is incredibly
passionate about what they
do, with the chops to argue
their corner when needed, but
with enough humility to know
when they’re wrong.
Steve Marshall
Do what you enjoy, and find
      enjoyment in everything you can.
