Career Tuesday
Careers, Life and Questions (Jul 02, 2024)
Wish you a Happy Career Tuesday!
3 Career Ideas
I.
"There's no right time to find the right education, right job or right career.
Your circumstances and choices let you decide when the time is right for you.
Thus your career is not a competition with others but a personal work in progress."
II.
"Leaders are accountable for outcomes, no matter who is at fault.
Those who get it, stop blame-games and show extreme ownership and action."
III.
"You make tens of decisions at work each day. Most are trivial or reversible.
Few are irreversible or critical. Spend time on those where your reputation is at stake."
2 Life Quotes from Books
I.
Margaret Atwood, leading Canadian novelist, in her book - The Handmaid's Tale :
"There is more than one kind of freedom," said Aunt Lydia. "Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it."

II.
Yann Martel, Canadian author, on self confidence and faith in his Booker Prize winning book - Life of Pi:
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
