"Smell The Cheese Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old"
In preparation for a corporate trip, I just read "Who Moved My Cheese", by Spencer Johnson, M.D. Some of you might recognize Spencer's name. He is the co-author of another interesting book, "One Minute Manager".
It was a very insightful book about keeping your eyes' open and rolling with changes. As I read the book I could times in my life where I was smart enough to see the writing on the wall early early to "roll with it". I could also see different facets in my life, where maybe I was probably too timid. It goes without saying, the industry we (developers) work in is moving at an extraordinary pace. Add on top of that, the pace of change in normal life and it becomes obvious there really is no time to hesitate.
It's a rather short book and most people should be able to finish it in about an hour. I definitely think it will be an hour well spent.
