Not a fan of this video at all.

It's a collection of limitations that successful projects had. Most projects get less than a minute.

I would find it more believable if it also had case studies for the same projects and its unique environment strengths ( I don't know, like Steve Jobs being "a genius" - which I don't agree - and George Lucas and Dr Seuss having their own unique qualities). There's certainly plenty of books like this, people love about personal successes. 🤢

And other projects that had either the same constraints but stronger, or same constraints but weaker, and failed. Also probably a different book, but no one would buy this.

It's like one guy said, like Taylor Swift telling people to follow their dreams is akin to a lottery winner saying to put all your savings into lottery tickets. That's what this video makes me feel.

I have an emphatic hatred for SMART goals. It's not that I can't or don't set goals for myself, I just hate having to force my objectives into cookie cutter management jargon. I just can't bring myself to care, because my brain doesn't work that way; I get more value from the journey than from checking the box at the end. I'd much rather declare some nebulous destination so I can take on projects and challenge myself to work towards that, so I have opportunities to learn/ practice the skills I want to grow.
