   and even us, already being part of the tech biz, looks at other part of the tech area where the “grass (looks) to be greener”. when will the envying ever stop?

   Hi ML,

   im a student hoping to grasp just some of what youve accomplished and have been following your tweets for a little time now after meeting you in early 2009.

   This comment i didnt understand…”fuck me – and all the spoiled kids in the tech world” … as i want to believe that we suffer the same hardships as farming.

   *Short spanning product cycles – we lack the luxury of farmers foresight… the main ingredient of the Great British Sunday roast will always be roast beef no matter how many years pass.

   *Rough economic weather (even if it is just all BS)

   *Over saturated markets – with so many of us ‘Teckys’ and ever changing platforms upon which to compete its becoming harder to differentiate ‘Status Quo’ Tom, ‘Got no life’ Dick and ‘Superstar’ Harry…

   *No Heritage

   *Lots of Environmental Trouble

   Now im not criticizing your thoughts, but as a young boy i was brought up to appreciate the ideals of hard work and patience; and that farmers are under appreciated providers to our society. As much as this world is now a fast paced one i most certainly believe that the lost ideals of the humble farmer are integral to business process today and try to apply them wherever possible.

   im trying to say, to the outside population and the successful club being a tecky isnt hard, to those of us still fathoming the scope of available opportunity its like trying to decide if you want a large cattle ranch or an exclusive organic orchard.

   Morten, Fantastic post…and I know I should be working instead of reading your blog, But I agree humility is key. Here in Mallorca, well there is always someone with a bigger yacht. And even at the Informatics Olympics, there is someone who has 3 gold medals if you have 2. Ambition is good, but being the Most, or the Best is always temporary. Better to have something to fall back on when your record is broken – like a sense of accomplishment, or a family, or friends, or all of the above.
   I feel soooooooo lucky to have essentially “skipped” the GEC (Global Economic Crisis), no period of unemployment, home forclosure or car repossessions (of course, I don’t have car, but you get my drift.)

   I’m definitely considering myself lucky to be a techy. Can’t think of any other field where you can make so much impact in so little time. :)

   [...] My man Morten Lund called the crisis last year a financial tsunami but he also pointed out recently that we, the digital entrepreneurs, are blessed with quick results, good working conditions and manageable financial needs. Read it all here. [...]
