The lynda.com Story: 10 things i know to be true

The lynda.com Story: Bruce Heavin and Lynda Weinman share accounts of learning, teaching, and building their company.

  1. Things i did early in life may not seem to have meaning then. But today they make all the sense in the world.
  2. Business doesn't have to be a win / lose or winner take all proposition. Everyone can win.
  3. Your passions are your drive in life, love & career. Do not ignore them.
  4. To master anything in life you must do it again and again, over and over. Often without success, but learning and fine tuning along the way.
  5. Education is life long. Stay hungry. Stay curious.
  6. Our biggest successes happened when the biggest doors of opportunity were slammed shut. Learn to look for other ways to achieve your goals when opportunities close. Own your problem and invent your own solution when others will not solve the problem for you.
  7. Do what you love and do it really, really, really well.
  8. My best education experiences happened when I was the motivated learner, making up my own experience.
  9. Curiosity only kills cats.
  10. Make your mistakes, frequently, fast and often. Just not repetitively.
