Larry Ellison je founder a CEO spolocnosti Oracle o ktorej ste mohli pocut v suvislosti s enterprise databazami, alebo nedavnou akviziciou gigantu SUN Microsystems.
Tento prihovor ku studentom univerzity v Yale je sice fake, ktory bol napisany za ucelom satirickeho podciarknutia jeho famozneho ega...

...ale v principe, ked sa zacitate medzi riadky... ...zeby to tak mohlo naozaj fungovat?
necham na Vas. :)

Chcel by som vsak napisat urcity disclaimer a sice: nasledujuci text a jeho zmysel je vhodny prakticky vylucne pre ludi z oblasti IT.
preco?
pretoze o potrebe studia, atestacii a konieckoncov aj titulov sa nema zmysel bavit napriklad pri medicine.
...IT vsak nie je o deleni polynomov, nie je o kopirovani statistik do excelu, nie je programovani kalendarov.
IT o jednotlivcovi.

"You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.

"Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not.

"Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.

"And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.

Nasledujuca cast je podla mna velmi dobra. Zivot je dnes natolko komplexny, zlozity a tym padom krasny, :) ze pre mladych ludi, ako napriklad Vy, alebo ja je cas neskutocne dolezity.
V pripade, ze mate sny a v pripade, ze chcete vediet, ako to cele funguje...

"Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.

"Hmm... you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.


Presne tak. Vyleziete po siestich rokoch (vsak ved ta matika, sakra) s hrdym titulom Ing. a vitaznym pokrikom OWNED!, no po nastupe do firmy zistite, ze spoluziak, co nechodil na prednasky, ale radsej studoval po nociach pdf-ka, ci niekde ako part-time pracoval, je zrazu Vas nadriadeny.

Predstavte si, ze ste manazerom nejakej spolocnosti a mate pred sebou dva CVcka.
V jednom je chalanisko, co ma 27 rokov, titul Ing. a ziadne skusenosti...
V druhom 22 rocny typek bez skoly, no s praxou v nejakej firme a podielom na uznavanom IT projekte.
Ktoreho berieme?

Inak, este co sa tyka Larryho Ellisona samotneho, tak nedavno ma pobavilo jeho vyhlasenie vo Wall Street Journal, kde sa v niekolkych kratkych vetach cynicky pozrel na cely SUN, ktory si prave kupil. :)

= Investovat viacej penazi, nez SUN.
= Minut viacej penazi, nez SUN
= Zamestnat ovela viacej specialistov, nez SUN.

"IBM, we're here to win it!"

:D



Drogy sou spatne, ego taktiez, no niekedy proste treba udriet.

...yale prihovor...
