CoT: Throughout the workout YHC reflected on some of the engineering and management lessons learned from the Challenger disaster. It is imperative on all who work with information that affects other peoples’ lives to adhere to strict standards of excellence—to not give in when management pressure becomes intense, but to stand by our principles.

“The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them. The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’” – Ronald Reagan

COT: I’m struggling with having to much on my plate and not enough time. It’s causing all of the projects to suffer and causing me to spend way to much time at work. Need to plan, address things systematically and just accept that I can’t always get everything done. Learning how to say no in the future will also be a big help.
