“Are there no more worlds that i might conquer?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not my first rodeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do remember the first, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day I held my first book–really a real book with a cover and pages\u2014with<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Written by Murphy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on the cover in 2006. I felt as if my life were complete in a way I never expected it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That day, 18 year ago, when I took the 4 hour PMP test to get officially certified. I wanted it so bad. I studying and grindinfg it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking into the grim Pearson testing center to sit in a cadaver-colored cubicle to choose the right answer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A? B? C? D?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I barely recognize the memory of that woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was it really me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was me. Sp was everything that came after.
Yesterday I finished a grind and got another cert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m worn slick,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I remember that first cert, it was a lot harder. I had high hopes for what I could achieve with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I remember I wanted it to prove it to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memory is a shaky thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, I want the cert to prove it to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I know. I am ten toes down confident. Others seem to need a proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I can concentrate on putting my book up for sale. My fifth book Which is most definitely for other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a theme. Those are significant things that I\u2019m accomplishing to impress other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s good and I\u2019m glad I did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s next? I\u2019d really like to do something significant for myself. That\u2019s over the edge of the known world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
