My Own Synthesis of CIC

Mattia Campagnano for:

Creativity, Innovation, and Change Coursera Class, 2013

Attitudes

I believe much more in myself, I don’t listen so much to the “croakers” in my head the way I used to do

I’m trying to focus on the things I really love doing; your “big rocks” teaching has been very useful to me; I tend to have too many ideas, things and projects around at the same time.

In the end, as I want to start up a company, I came out with a motto of mine after I’ve been impressed by Mercedes Benz company’s one “Das Beste oder Nichts - The best or nothing).

I made this mine. I’ve never settled down and so I decided to sign up for college and learn Computer Science starting the coming year

Habits and changes

I focus on some main time frames in the day where I go on as long as I can:

I’m not a morning person so I start reading emails for job alerts, LinkedIn and other stuff; see what’s going on LinkedIn and especially in IT industry. Try to read at least an article about career, personal improvement or the latest technology trends.

Since 11am I start working on my blog and online programming class and go on till 1 pm focusing on these two things.

Start over at 2 pm and deal with other things till 7 pm

Then I catch up on my shows, see a movie, play a game, write something and so on if there’s some show I don’t like on TV (I hate it for 99% of the times)

Projects

Learning programming languages

Creating apps

Signed up for Computer Science at Stark State

Started up an IT blog: my first two post received 849 pages in two days and yes, I think great things may happen.
