Hey all.
I have a very important question (at least to me) and I need your feedbacks.
as you know, it is an old sentence :
"Search for a good person and make him your higher example"
well, I really admire the following persons and I whish to be like them :
James Gosling, Dr Freidman-Hill, Micheal Yuan, Richard Moson Haefel
but when thinking about them, I am really feel disappointed !
RMH has wrote a complete EJB container and Dr Freidman-Hill has invented JESS and Micheal is an expert J2ME and there is no need to talk about James !
I can't be like them, they are outstanding developers and I don't dare to think that I can be like them ...
how can you help me ?
thanks.

Can't resist answering, although I don't think I belong in the company where you've placed me.

My guide to being like me:

1) Do what you love.

2) Constantly strive to improve.

3) Be nice to people.

4) (Optional) Eat too much ice cream.

I agree with Ernest.

You don't have to find respect, respect will find you automatically one day.

I am still learning from tons of people around me in hope of the day when I would see myself capable of doing what I really want.

I also respect people you have mentioned and more others.

Regards,
Maulin
