I am reading that all the big thinking heads of Sun are now leaving Oracle. I have two kind of reactions facing this news:

1. to describe my first reaction, I take a quote from the movie Ghostbusters: 
   “They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there!” 

   

 

2. to describe the second, I refer to the image of rats leaving the sinking ship…

 

I have still many people I know who are working for Sun. And I think that it is actually so easy for someone to engage lives of others.

Where are all the blog posts from Jonathan Schwartz?

Where are the lessons that Scott Mcnealy was teaching to his troops for so many years?

 

 

A colleague shared with us these drops of wisdom. I would like to take them as part of my commitments for this new year:

• Commitment
• Honesty
• Accountability
• Respect
• Courage

We will all need to give the best of ourselves in this difficult period. Not losing sight of what is important and lasting, is something that needs to be constantly present in my mind.
