I long ago adopted the adage that the best way to get an order from a client, was to help him/her get one. This is a long view, but it has worked for me.

There is a corollary; taking the long view means instilling the discipline of constant learning on your part to survive the long view.

I used to teach computer science as an adjunct at the University of Cincinnati. One thing I used to tell students is that we are not teaching languages, we are teaching how to learn languages. The young folks would see "JAVA" and think "that is all I need to know". I, in my 30's at the time, knew I had averaged a new computer language at LESS than every two years. Engineering moves a bit more slowly, but not much. Good advice. I used to teach computer science as an adjunct at the University of Cincinnati.
