Today I found the dip book and sams teach yourself plsql in 21 days

I was looking for Oracle PLSQL program units exam guide in Jurong East Regional library in Singapore and it was on loan, and i found the above two great books.

The Sams teach yourself PLSQL in 21 days by Johnathan Gennick is probably the best PLSQL book i have ever read though it is not very famous and uses oracle 8i but i cant put the book down, it step by step explanation has cleared a lot of doubts in my mind even the Rampant book Oracle PLSQL jumpstart didnt really clear. I cant put the book down.But the book is written by two authors, John is probably very good the other one probably not that good, read the reviews of Amazon.

The other book is The Dip by Seth Godin, somehow i havent spotted that it was available in singapore library. It is probably the only book i would want you Sean and Ryan to read. I might scan it to freedrive.com when i have time, it basically says you have to be the best, nobody wants average guys, people go for the best guys, but in order to be the best you have to go through a very diffcult period call the dip.

In work life there are two aspects, the political fighting aspect and the real job that you do, like Oracle. There are a lot of ugly parts in the political fighting and focusing too much on it will make your job which is suppose to be fun to be tedios. You have to fight but most of the time spent your attention on the good part of the job, liike Oracle, focus on the beauty and exploration part of Oracle. Be aware that you have to be the best, but work on the result but put your soul on the process. This is ying and yang aspect of work. Result Orientation read The Dip book by Seth Godin, is the yang aspect. The ying is process orientation by Thomas Steiner.

I just thought of the best balance of good guy bad guy character i want you sean and ryan to have. One is Riddick from the Chronical of Riddick movie. The other one is the SIngapore Goju Ryu karate national team brothers in Goju Ryu SIngapore. One brother wear specs and is a probably a engineer, have brain, but he has also gangster behavior, with karate as back up, half good half bad is the best combination.

Karate can protect you for the rest of your life.
