  1. Comments on lecture 9 (prepare yourself), group presentation & others

  2. The top 10 Prepare yourself 1. Poor planning on one’s part does not constitute automatic emergency from others 2. Know corporate structure + follow chain of command 3. The inquisitive idiot: must ask, but think first 4. Own your project or assignment: anticipate needs 5. Less is more: work smarter, not harder 6. The enemy of good is perfect: learn when to stop 7. Keep a paper trail, write more and write well, It is not what you know, it is what you can prove 8. Leave work at work 9 Mistakes are inevitable: GIGO 10. Save money early, pace yourself

  3. Prepare yourself Great presentation, but I am surprised Ash did say treat people the way you want to be treated… Best presentation I’ve heard while at TAMU. Ask presenter at the time. It is not impolite or disrespectful. Earning respect and treating others as one wants to be treated are tracts practiced daily (they could be lost in a second as well) In Ash’s case it is most important since he deals with clients and suppliers, and technical personnel with all levels of education and backgrounds.

  4. Prepare yourself Pay for yourself? Employer invests in you to be productive. In short. Assume it costs your company (low estimate) $200 k/year to keep you employed [salary + benefits + administrative cost ]. You must generate business for at least $200k/year to break even, i.e. to justify your employment (pay for yourself). You will have rewards and recognition when making more (net profit) and bring more (for others).

  5. Recommendations for organizing? Only one – start today! Perpetual procrastination is the worst enemy of organization. Practices of Modern Engineering – Spring 2011
