My Story
My school
My university
Choosing a job?
I became a programmer
It got complicated.
and more complicated…
so we left and raised some ££
and then some more
PCs looked like this in 1982
then Bill showed up
and things became more complicated…
so we borrowed some ££ from Bill
to turn those into these
that was a good idea… …for a little while
so the chairman wanted a change
None
I wrote a book
and then Phil showed up Why I work hard…
online shopping was a good idea
but Phil wanted his ££s back
so we sold the company to a catalogue printing company
which started going bust
so they sold it to us in 2008
but it was losing £50,000 each month
so we had to make changes
and sell hard to get new customers
None

What have I learned?
“The harder I practice, the luckier I get”
People skills matter
Read this when you are a little older
Organisation pays
You need a good manager
Treat people well
You can’t always get what you want… http://youtu.be/WbjZA3aAH3s?t=49s
