Here are two simple things I’ve been told which had a big impact on me:
* If you struggle with conversations and small talk all you need to do is ask questions. An entire conversation can be you asking a question, listening, and asking another question to what they just said and repeat.
The more someone talks during a conversation, the better they feel the conversation went. If you meet someone for the first time, ask questions, let them talk a ton and they will likely feel the conversation was enjoyable.
* Go to a place like a coffee shop or conference or park and sit for an hour and just watch people. You notice that no one cares. And I mean that in a good way. No one cares what anyone else does. A really shy and awkward person could walk into a coffee shop and feel super awkward about waiting in line and then mumble his order and fumble with his wallet and worry that everyone else is looking and judging them. But truth is no one cares. So don’t worry about random strangers.
I have a hobby of trying out different project management software and I even went back to a pen and paper notebook for a while.
But I’ve become a huge fan and advocate of Todoist. So lightweight yet very flexible.
*sorry if this sounds like a marketing message. I don’t work for the company or know anyone that does. I’m not invested in the company other than a happy customer.
I’m really surprised that some people here don’t understand the value of smart contracts.
Contracts and rules and regulations are made by humans. Humans can sometimes be unfair and biased and error-prone.
Code on the other hand does not discriminate. Ethereum smart contracts are open source and auditable.
Technology can be used for good or bad. But I would much rather an industry be run by fair, auditable code than (unfortunately faulty) humans.
If I apply for a mortgage, I would like to know the process if driven by code which is applied transparently and equally to everyone, so things like skin colour isn’t a factor.
Competition will always remain. If a company uses unfair smart contracts, there will always be alternatives.
But is in no way a standard across companies.
Sounds horrific to be honest. Having to BS employees on the fly?
