Awesome speech. The key points he talked about WILL get you noticed and you WILL become invaluable to your boss. I've been applying myself exactly like that for the last year, and have gone from helping deburr parts, to operating/setup work on CNC's, and for the last 6 months I have been a Quality Control Inspector. I graduated HS one year ago, with a certificate in Machining from a vocational center, and I'm already making about 20k/yr. Dedication WILL pay off if you keep at it.

I am 30 years old now and I didn't realize these things Adam is talking about in this speech until I was 27 years old. To any younger viewers that see this, if you really understand what Adam is talking about and you have the mental aptitude to put this to use at an earlier age then do so. You will not regret it. A little hard work really does pay off.

It's tough to give a good speech in those condition and that setting. Great job Adam. The points he mentioned are true. Especially meditative working or as I like to call it, Zen Drafting. It's letting your mind concentrate on something far away while your doing mind numbing tasks like tracing outlines of lawn art for a plasma cutter for 2 weeks, but still having presence of mind to do a great job and get thank you letters for your work.

I'm a professional illustrator. The same principles apply. "Experience is what you get when you get when you didn't get what you want ..." and the best way to get what you want is (a) don't make the same mistakes again, (b) continue to gain experience and (c) share your experience with others to whom it means something, either those you are teaching or those you are learning from, preferably both.

Working hard and smart: 1. Focus on what's in front of you. 2. Think about the big picture, ask question. 3. Work collaboratively. 4. Take responsibility 5. Communicate. 6. Don't rush 7. Finish the job you started. 8. You don't need to be smart, you just need to work smart.

This is great stuff! I pretty much work for those people. I'm constantly being told to not stir the pot. "That's just the way it is, nothing we can do about it" is bullshit to my ears. Thusly, I'm looking for something else to do. Someone out there will appreciate the hard work I do, and my ideas, and I want to work for them. And they want me to work for them.

Nah, You get it alot from multiple microphones Sources feeding into a recorder most of the times a camera and the "Garbage track" i.e on camera mic, or a second mic recorded at lesser quality than the other being out of time with the first (further away from voice, a delay through equipment etc).

I think most people will realize that. And I don't think that's what he meant. It would not be like him to advocate quitting and becoming unemployed. What I take away from this is just what you said. "Don't work for those people, instead go someone else to work for (but don't quit the first job until you secured the second)."

(cont)the communication thing is dead on though. i spend more time doing that than i spend actually writing code. we have gotten it to the point where all the bugs are dead and all that's left are enhancements thankfully programming is rarely boring (and if it ever is there is usually things you can do to make it more interesting which usually end up helping the company too, like writing your own web server instead of using a pre-made one and learning how to use sockets in the process)

"Don't work for those people" .... Uh, thats not really possible. Don't quit a job because you don't respect the owners or bosses. Its a job, keep it until you find another one. Quitting with nothing to fall back on is a terrible idea.
