For what it's worth, this article is from 2010. (How does one indicate that this should be added to the title? Does one do it through a comment like so, or is there a separate button to click somewhere?)

good book, but somewhat confused why it would be particularly relevant now?!
I read this back in 2012. I thought some of the advice was suspect since it was faith based but overall a lot of the ideas are pretty good practices to undertake. They've served me well in the past few years. I think the idea of helping someone new everyday is a pretty good idea that is mutually beneficial to everyone involved.
This article neither asks that question nor answers it.

It just espouses a simplistic "Stick to your principals! Have a plan! Work hard! Spend your time wisely!" set of life values - which aren't bad in and of themselves but are pretty bland advice.

Personally, I won't measure my life because in order to do so it must be over, and I will at that point be dead.

Brilliant piece; thanks for posting it again so many years later. It's as relevant as ever.
When Intel went for the "bottom of the market" with Celeron I don't think they went far enough down and now ARM has become a serious threat.
