"Life is too short to sweat the little stuff"


I want to start with simple things.
I do not want to address those who want professional equipment. Although I could, I know they prefer renowned firms(I'm not talking about the fake auctions that are enough - I do not have such connections)


So something very simple:
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/simplify-the-schematic-whistle-detector.139290/

- I prefer to have controller that the schematic not be copied.
- I want to reduce the number of external components, to make it on test PCB

I can order PCB in China at PCBWay. They are beautiful and cheap.
But it cost me 30 $ shipping even a few pieces of $ 1 each. So I do not get the desired price for the final product.

Please tell me where I'm wrong.

I also have this discussion who think it fit here:
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/why-not-release-your-own-product.138778/

 

If you are an expert at something, you can get companies to fund the development of a product to their requirements. Happens all the time. Others will confirm this.

It's not like this always.
I have already discussed another topic here that it is more profitable to take your natural resources.
I worked in hardware design(schematic design). I passed the written test.
I was fired, and colleagues programmers who did not know the difference between AND and OR work now. Or engineers for which a resistive divider's calculation is a great mystery.

The design is created by 2-3 smart guys from Germany, and 1000 hired engineers can stay in vain.

Do you think such corporations would need?
Now I wait for the banks to force execute my home, for the debts I did not do.
I think I will never win in court. Lack of money will be a disavantage in my defense.

What is interested is that they could influence the multinationals to get me out.

I wish all my heart to be mistaken or to talk badly.

Let's get to work!
You'll probably contradict me. If you want I go to multinationals and offer them.

if they will reject me you will say they want smart guys and I'm stupid.

 

Far from the truth is not:
I'm not a smart guy, but I do not even think I am stupid.

In the value system of psychopaths, if they are smarter, they give them the right to abuse your money, life.

I still have the idea of a few simple device.

What is an expert?
I have degrees.Company's written tests I solved them. The device they need to do I do.
I've demonstrated this to corporations many times. I designed the devices they needed.
They do not want me. What is so hard to understand?

That's their rights in capitalism. Guilty is politics of accepting and supporting them.
Edit:
- I tell that the bosses before hiring me every time.
- He do not believe me. They calm me down.
- I tell them that at previous jobs it was so every time. Identical the same.
- They calm me down. They tell me they are a special company.
They are correct and no one has the ability to influence them.
- Within a few months they warms me that someone is influences the company to fire me. They calm me down.
They ask me not to worry that it will nothing bad will happen.
- Within next few months I'm out.
They tell colleagues I wanted to leave the company.

-They wonder what happened to me and they start to avoid me. They no longer answering me my phone or EMail.

- A new contract was waiting for me. I told the head the problems I'm afraid of.
He and everyone in the group have calmed me. Do not worry.

I cannot solve your problems. I can only tell you what worked for me.
An expert is someone who knows more about how to solve a particular problem than almost anybody else. This is mostly a matter of time and effort rather than advanced degrees or pre-acquired knowledge. You seem to believe there is some advantage in telling people more than they need to know to make a decision to buy your product or service. They don't need to know all the details. They are not interested in your personal challenges, or other impediments to delivering a product or performing a service. They assume you will manage them. So manage them or find something else to do.

"Life is too short to sweat the little stuff"

That expression seems to make good sense until you try to explain why.

There is nothing wrong with paying attention to "little stuff". Much of life's enjoyment can be found in the little stuff, like preparing a perfectly spiced meal, playing an instrument just the way you want to, getting just the right gift for your spouse (I'm still waiting and working for that to happen ). I say these are all little things because 1, 5 or 20 years later you will not remember them and no one else in the world will care (except maybe the spouse gift thing).

I think the important part of the expression is the "sweat" part. I see an awful lot of people spend time worrying over things that are not likely to happen, or if they do, won't matter even one month later. The level of worry is appropriate for something you will read about in history books, but in reality it's as trivial as when to get a haircut or other mundane concerns. People naturally seem to lose sight of the big-picture issues and get lost in daily troubles.

Invoking the idea that "Life is too short" suggests that we should not sweat things that are small compared to the arc of our lives.

What this all has to do with your situation is beyond me, except that perhaps you are focusing too much energy on the details of your work and looking past the bigger items, your ability to work with those around you and in management, and to be productive within a political environment. Every human environment is a political one, if there is more than one human. Wishing otherwise, and trying to focus on things you like in order to avoid interaction, does not change that truth.

 

Just one little piece of advice, Tell no-one your business secrets, there is always someone with more money than you who is prepared to rip you off and profit from your hard work, whilst knowing they can afford a better solicitor than you can.
Lesson learnt the hard way!

 

You do not stop surprise me in a pleasant way.
I was expecting you to argue and yet it was not.
I was expecting one, who "reads" me, to notice that I am in an unfavorable position and to show his superiority.
It was not like that! And I wonder why?
I left a Romanian electronics forum, because some users talked very ugly.
Why is not the same here? I expected the men to be the same anywhere.

Here nobody has the tendency to kick the fallen.

Next question:
When problems arise:
-Some of my friends advise to give up my resignation, motivating that they will do some papers and affect my career
-Some of my friends advise not to give up my resignation, they do not think this can happen;
What to do if this situation occurs?

 

Story:
I wished to be a bartender in my own bar when I was a master student.
I was looking to rent a building.
I never started. I do not know, maybe it was a stupid idea.

Now that's why I thought about electronic assemblies.
Or I'm looking for other simple things to do but to do it myself.
