One Tip That Accelerated My Growth in Mainframe

·         Where I Started: When I began my Mainframe journey as a computer operator on an IBM 370/115, I was focused on learning as much as I could about the hardware and operating system.
What I Learned: Over time, I discovered that success in Mainframe isn’t just about the software — it’s about how IBM Z build software and hardware to work in concert with each other. No other vendor is as committed to your personal and profession succuss as IBM.  You can build your life around the IBM Z platform. 
My Best Tip:
 Best tip. Look at everything as a challenge and not as a problem. You can solve anything with hard work and think about how to resolve the issue. Don’t let the issue over take you. 

·         Step 1: Learn all you can about the IBM Z platform hardware and software.

·         Step 2: Use all the free training you can take from IBM.  There is not better training in the world.

·         Step 3: Apply what you have learned to make things better for your company and yourself.

The Impact: You apply yourself and follow IBM education nothing can stop you from building the best applications needed by your company.

 Encouragement for Others: Remember: no one can know everything.  Work as a team and build using everyone’s knowledge and you can not help but be successful.  Start with what you have, keep learning every day, and work with the Z community. Keep growing and do not ever stop.
