Life of db

Well the picture doesn’t lie. We can point fingers and call each other names, but at its core, I’ve simply read a shit ton over the course of the last three years. 

And I like it.

I’m not much for the latest and greatest in pop culture, and you won’t find that I’ve subscribed to any gossip blogs (beyond Macrumors), but what you will find is a mix of personal blogs, corporate blogs and editorials centered around different business ideas and various areas of technology. As I sit and wonder how I’ve amassed such a large amount of read articles, and intuitively, invested so much time in such an undertaking, I can point to one reason:

My core belief that formal education is not enough, and does not prepare you to meet the needs of employers, the world, and more importantly, your own needs.
Your informal education deserves as much of an investment as your ‘formal’ education does (at least in the time department), and by zeroing in on a basketful of great websites and blogs that turn out content, that in return will expand your perspective is critical, and I’d argue is likely directly related to your success in whatever your ventures are. 

School sucks, knowledge doesn’t.
