I had a friend who was very busy, very smart, very doing all kinds of things: web development, linux servers, code, wood work, music instrument builds, cooking and keeping his house always clean. I said, "How do you do all of this stuff and I never see you spend a lot of time cleaning but your home is always clean?"

Philip answered, " I always clean up 25% percent every day."

He was that smart. Much smarter than I was. Spending time with more experienced failures is truly a wise decision. The difference in discrimination and wisdom is don't spend time with people who have given up because they don't want to fail. I've been that person. It sucks. It's the best way to work hard at doing nothing.
