About 3. One of the coolest attitudes I saw was from someone (autistic, but that doesn't matter) who approached every problem as something to love, to cherish, to appreciate. Now I'm reading a book about the early days in Bell labs. I feel through the pages how much fun they had with finding issues, finding things to improve, finding out the future. I think there's so much to gain if you can find a positive approach to problems. Also in real life!

That book sounds interesting! Could you share a link?

Maybe this one:

The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation

Yes, this one!

Probably not the same book, but the guy who developed Hamming codes (his name was Hamming obviously) wrote a stupendous book that talks a lot about his time at Bell called The Art and Science of Doing Engineering

Well it looks like I've now got two "stupendous" books to read :-)
