Lessons from a few great people

I have not prepared a post for this week.  The situation at my job is hellish and it extracts the soul out of my body.  Exactly like the dementors in the Harry Potter books.
 
Instead of writing something on my own, I would like to share a few great posts written by Cory Galbraith.

If you read the first post, Get Paid What You're Worth: Advice from the 4 foot Mathematician, at the end of it, you will be able to access other posts by the same author.
 
They are all good stories. It is sad, however, that history repeats itself, but we never learn its lessons.
