This is going to be useful!! What goes into ranking each library?

It would be cool if I could check the overall ranking of all projects and also a Popular and/or New section.

try something like arduino.

It seems an interesting exercise to do, and keeps you aware of your long term achievements. Focused and aware. I'll definitely try that.

in fact, these are valuable lessons for any position. Specially, the last one.

1. Look for jobs that will let you <do whatever you want to do>. 2. Don’t give up on becoming <whatever you want to become>. 3. Learn how to take charge of your career.

I second that. Sometimes we just forget how fortunate we are and how we take everything for granted. Congrats and a big thank you for sharing this with us, munyukim.

don't take me wrong here. sometimes I tend to hyperbolize my own statements to cross sell what I believe in. you're right. My point is, I try to avoid negativity all around (thoughts, people, environments, etc...) in order to achieve my own goals. That as been working for me so far. I haven't "make it" yet, but I'll do someday. What do you think about that?

I should read more about Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.

I'll bet that optimism is another trait shared by those who actually make it. ;)

I truly believe that talent helps but it doesn't take you as far as determination, focus, passion and ambition. If you want it badly enough you will make it.

still, you can be successful without making millions.
