"Right now" always seems to be our problem. I just tried to rent a flat and they were trying to enforce 10% price rices every 6 months, even though it's illegal.
That's just one example of the "right now". Because I can make a buck, I will, don't matter what; then we blame on the politicians.
There's so much we have yet to learn.
Relationships are hardly written in stone.
Take the time to understand your feelings and talk to you ex.
If you can't get to an understanding then is likely that the problems between you two go deeper than you think.
First, thanks for your detailed replay (and to all others too).
I'm already working on a kind of 9-5 doing only iOS. I'm in Argentina that right now have a lot of work inflow because our low cost and less culturally differences than asian countries and almost in the same time zone.
I failed in a couple of startups of my own and though there's virtually no support to start-ups here, I'm no sure I have an eye for marketable things. I don't really care for the AppStore lottery anymore.
So as I'm realizing I'm less an entrepreneur than I thought I was, it may be a good thing to start steering to safer waters.
After two years of J2ME and one of iOS, last week I had to think twice to make a query with a group by, and got kind of scared.
I'm not worried about being able to keep up with technology changes, but I don't want to get specialized in a market that has no depth.
That's exactly what I'm saying. You choose where you take risks, and I'd risk penis fracture every day, but think can postpone a phone call a few hours for the sake of 200 people at 10.000 feet.
Similar background 15K miles down south of you, though
the same thing happen to me earlier this year and I had it coming. Too much work on things I didn't like.
I took some time off to figure it out and it worked.
If you can, don't rush it and try to focus on what you really enjoy, no matter how hard or crazy may seam at first, and you'll find it.
The shallow scenery is an opportunity to us, oldies. Lets show we still have a few tricks and cooler than ever.
I think one might miss the point here, if one would take his writing too literally, that he ended up on an amazing success by just following what was good for him no matter how long did it take.
The idea that you have to be willing to kill yourself in the process of being successful is a dangerous one, and will only be true measured by others standards.
I think this gives further credit to apple achievements and makes even clearer that designing good products goes far beyond any rule list anyone could make.
