1
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:03,850
How awesome is it that you
made that slick looking,

2
00:00:03,850 --> 00:00:06,090
fully functional productivity app?

3
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:07,560
I'd pay for that.

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,720
There's no stopping you now.

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,510
And you can even go back and build all the
apps that we've built up until this point.

6
00:00:12,510 --> 00:00:13,510
You have all the logic.

7
00:00:13,510 --> 00:00:17,640
And now you have the power to put
in the modern user interface.

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,920
I'm very happy that we got to go over some
important object oriented concepts and

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,600
introduce you to a plethora
of new technologies.

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,980
I showed my mom what we built, and

11
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:29,550
she of course expected
the design of a set-up app.

12
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:32,230
But she was thoroughly impressed
with the Pomodoro app.

13
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:37,181
While I was talking to her, I asked her to
tell me the story of my earlier art and

14
00:00:37,181 --> 00:00:38,220
offer some advice.

15
00:00:38,220 --> 00:00:38,890
Here's what she said.

16
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:42,950
>> When Craig was little,
I'd walk into the classroom.

17
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:45,362
I'd immediately know which
art project was his.

18
00:00:45,362 --> 00:00:49,737
There would be lines of
perfectly laid out snowmen,

19
00:00:49,737 --> 00:00:54,720
made from cotton balls,
button noses and pretzel sticks.

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,100
And then there'd be Craig's, just a pile
of cotton balls with stuff on top.

21
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:04,050
I'd tell him that you don't
have to be good at everything.

22
00:01:04,050 --> 00:01:08,040
You have to know where your
strengths are and focus on those.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,430
Do what makes you happy.

24
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:15,250
Other people are good at things, and
you can work together with them.

25
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:16,800
Find your strengths.

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,470
You have them.

27
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:20,400
And look what you've created.

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,940
I'm so proud of you.

29
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:25,090
And you too.

30
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:26,380
>> Thanks, Mom.

31
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:29,960
Any other device you'd like to give
these up and coming Java developers?

32
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:30,460
>> Sure.

33
00:01:31,470 --> 00:01:33,632
Don't forget to call your mother.

34
00:01:33,632 --> 00:01:35,440
>> That's great advice, Mom.

35
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,300
Thanks for hanging out.

36
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:37,090
We'll see you real soon.
