The Times They Are A Changing
Filed under: People Skills — Tags: — nedpelger

We all need occasional motivation to do the best things. Take five minutes and watch this video. You will be challenged to really think about the future and where you may fit into it. Remember the Secret of Success: A Successful Person does those things that an Unsuccessful Person doesn’t want to do and won’t do. Take a few minutes and watch the video.

If you watched it, you should be challenged to get out of your comfort zone, to realize that life next year isn’t going to be like life last year. You can either be a victim of the changes or get involved in planning your direction.

Hearing that the Top 10 jobs in demand in 2010 didn’t even exist in 2004 was sobering. So was the 31 billion Google searches every month. As the world changes, please take the time to ponder where you could best fit. Read, think and plan. Don’t expect things to continue as they have in the past.

Life amazes when you seize the initiative.

Conversely, to quote the wonderful WC Fields, “Don’t be a moon calf, don’t be a fuddy duddy, don’t be a jabbernow. You wouldn’t want to be any of those things, would you Og?”
