Well done :). <br /><br />I also think that, yes, it is a great strategy to surround yourself with people who will challenge you and help you bring your A-Game. A favorite quote of mine is "you will be the five years from now as you are today except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read". While I agree on the surface, I think there needs to be another qualifier... you'll be the same as well unless those people and books actually help challenge you to step up and do something from the association.<br /><br />BTW, I've been remiss, but I'm going to feature Agile Testing as my Wednesday book review next week. It's taken me longer to get through it than I thought it would (for all good reasons :) ).Michael Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16180074963526979074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890958153006612459.post-26526832455974458802010-07-08T14:37:25.041-07:002010-07-08T14:37:25.041-07:00I'm glad you wrote this post because I think t...I'm glad you wrote this post because I think too many people are unaware that it needs to be ok to need to learn, and it needs to be ok to make mistakes. We need to want to improve and have that fire in the belly to achieve our goals, whatever they are - learn that scripting language, find ways to collaborate with customers, be a great exploratory tester.<br /><br />This is in the same vein as Dawn Cannan's article (in which I have a sidebar), originally in Agile Record. You can download it at http://lisacrispin.com/downloads/Cannan_Crispin.pdf, I'd be interested in what you think!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230090963033880060noreply@blogger.com
