Together, in all that we did, endurance, perseverance and end results were all that mattered. Integrity and reputation are all that you take with you when you leave a company. Value those and you will do well. Work for companies that value skills, competence and contribution. Glass ceilings do not exist at such companies.
Life is short, work there.
Focus on what you need to do to be a better person, a better contributor to the company and to society. All the rest will follow. Broadband communications will have a huge impact on the efficiency and accessibility of information. Internet effectiveness will be positively impacted in all areas - work, play, life and learning. The challenge is to manage that.
