Career advice from a Technology Researcher Jim Gray

• Career advice for others: Follow Mike Stonebraker’s advice, Go for the home run.

Don’t go for singles and doubles, don’t even go for the outfield, go for the bleachers. And that’s a very courageous thing to do. I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I think this is it, and I’m trying to spend my time as best I can, and I’m trying to spend my time so I’m proud of what I’ve done, and I try not to do any things that I’m not proud of.

So I have, in fact, only worked on things that I thought could really be significant, and I haven’t really worried very much about getting tenure or actually getting a job.

• On getting a paper published: Send it in again. Send it in again.

-Advice from Jim Gray, Database Researcher as part of ACM SIGMOD Distinguished Database Profiles

Temptation

• Temptation is temporary. Resist cravings long enough and you’ll win out.

-Don Chao, Men’s health

Vision and Spirit

• You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to allow the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

-Woodrow Wilson

Better than you

• When we’re trying to be as good as or better than someone else, I think envy is a strong motivator, but a weak navigator

-Steve Smith in a blog comment

Guy Kawasaki wrote about How to Get the Attention of a Venture Capitalist.

My own belief, it is not that big a problem, it is a VC’s job to find Entrepreneurs. They might miss some like Bessemer missed Intel, Apple Computer, Ebay, Google and others, but their goal is not to.

Just find a reference, know what stage are you, Bootstrap, Angel or VC and give it a good shot.

Here is a reference on the importance of deal making: Getting a Job in Venture Capital

Mostly for fun, I took this test. Needed to find the meaning of recant and gullible.
As far as I can be sure, I am more of a non-religious person, though spirituality in general is important to me, so it is kind of right, though I do find the “0% reason oriented” comment slightly offensive! they probably intended it to mean I am neutral towards reason.

The results:

You fit in with: Taoism Your ideals mostly resemble those of the Taoist faith. Spirituality is the most important thing in your life. You strive to live by all of your ideals, and live a very intellectually focused life. 20% spiritual. 0% reason-oriented.
