Comments for Josh Padnick's Blog http://joshpadnick.com My Thoughts on Business, Web, and Healthcare (okay, and random stuff, too) Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:08:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 Comment on Using Your Computer for Actual Work by debra http://joshpadnick.com/2008/07/02/using-your-computer-for-actual-work/#comment-23237 debra Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:25:41 +0000 http://joshpadnick.com/?p=119#comment-23237 I LOVE that video of Bono. Bono for President! (Joking -- though I'm a huge fan.) Recently I came through one of those grueling work periods where you're climbing an uphill mountain of work and the thought of "maybe I should just throw in the towel and quit" is inescapable. But you know what? Several months later, and after a long break, I am being rewarded for that work, and have at least learned how NOT to do it and am in the process of formulating how TO do it. I often think those horrible work periods force us to rethink our approach, which in itself is a very valuable lesson. I LOVE that video of Bono. Bono for President!

Much appreciated, as I am about to jump off the cliff to face the test of an uncharted new venture. Thank you for another inspiring entry!
