I know that this mindset has advantages, I was slightly cynical when I wrote this… I know now the mistakes I made back then (and yes there was a back then), when I might have made the right choice, globally, but it’s not enough to be right, you have to be right for the right reasons… It’s 11pm now in Hawaii but with the time difference it feels like 1AM. I’m turning in.

1. “I was a beginner in this field, young and fresh” When the hell was this? I know you for over ten years, and you were never a beginner in the field.

2. You are becoming an american. Beware. This consultant mindset instead of taking decisions is clearly american and certainly nonisraeli.

3. There are many advantages to considering alternatives, as long as you do so systematically and add pricetags to everything. This is far more serious behaviour than just jumping around blocking FTP services; it has nothing to do with experience, just with thinking properly - as long as you are not afraid to take the decisions, or rather set a recommendation, yourself.

4. There is a problem with the parser here when I try to add the remarks. The lines are misaligned and I can’t read what I am writing (No, in this hostel somewhere at SA they don’t have neither linux nor Mozilla). It drives me crazy so I stop writing now.

And I’ll conclude with the imortal words of Oscar Wilde: “I am not young enough to know everything”.
