Most people never, ever forget the first person to give them a sizable advance on their own self-confidence — there's no greater security in life than being a serial enabler of wonderful young people

Creating a serendipitous connection, freely offering a good idea, telling someone you see their potential & you'll be in their corner... these are both cheap & costly, the currency of trust in the human project
Invest this way and you'll have the world's most joyous nest egg

I've long since forgotten the first person to tell me I was onto something, and will never ever forget the first person who sent me $1000 to pursue it.

Yep, you got that right - mine was the guy that hired me for my second dev job. He helped me learn some of the nuances I might never have figured out and in the end helped me land my dream job a few months later.

@kmrazor I remember early on when you started dating Mark I was in high school, kinda felt like a loser because I didnt really do much but I always remember something you said that made me feel better, ‘You’re gonna be one of those people that breakout in college, dont worry’

And you did! I’m glad I was able to help ease some of the high school angst. You are the smartest of us all now. We all expect to live in your mansion when we are in retirement.

In my life as an occasional CS college prof, I always seek to encourage. Some are now PhDs, while others lead even more productive careers. ;-) Love it when the come to visit.

Someone, who I barely knew at the time, saw something in me. He spent his valuable time coaching me over my first 2 years.
I am the organizer and executor I am today because of that influence.
Hell yea I'll never forget.

I have always admired people like that. It means a lot. Bruce Lee did it for Jackie Chan and Chan said it was the best day of his life.
