Coasting Through Your Career

Coasting Through Your Career Looking back over my work (not sure if I can truly call it a career), Ive been lucky and Ive been stupid. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. If I had only known then what I know now Ive been writing some advice for graduating college students to get involved and build relationships. I wrote those things and meant them, however, I only half heartedly did that myself. The same is true about the advice I provide about managing your career. I cant say Ive always practiced what I preach. But when I write about things, I look at how I should have done it, learning from my own mistakes or mishaps; as well as from looking at the mentors and sages of the world. Sometimes Ive coasted through- not engaging, not networking. I can say, however, that now that Ive seen the light of living an engaged and networked career, it is so much more fulfilling. I hope you all will know the feeling of being fulfilled! It isnt all work, it isnt all play. It is a balance that rejuvenates your spirit, mind and body.
