Friday the 13th is supposed to be an unlucky day according to superstition. Superstition is a belief taken on faith and supported by folklore and hearsay. These days folklore includes Hollywood and television (how many Friday the 13th movies are there?).

How much of what you do every day or how you think is on faith?

As a professional developer you should be learning from others, but not blindly. Always seek to understand why things are the way they are. Then you are in a position to decide on the best approach for your situation.

As a business person are you chasing your competitors? Maybe there is a better direction to head and you are missing it because you are not asking the right questions.

Investors are notorious for following the herd.

The successful innovators didn’t follow the herd or accept conventional thinking. They changed the game. Then everyone else is following them.

Learn, question and take some risks… starting tomorrow!
