*No matter what your job is or how many times you change, if you work full time over the course of 50 or 60 years, the biggest single block of your life is going to be spent in the workplace. So, it’s important to figure out how to take the most important thing in life and apply to where you spend most of your life.*
*Many jobs are boring. The marketplace is often a maze of nameless people. Sometimes good employees don’t get recognized and promoted. The woes of layoffs and the threats of mergers and downsizing can be discouraging. But in the midst of less desirable ...
