I had the opportunity to try and do something silly, that when successful, never fails to make me happy. And by happy, I mean an ephemeral giddy schoolgirl sort of happy. I nearly skipped this fleeting chance but after consultation with friends, who share in these silly adventures, I was in the game.
A day later, the smile still on my face, I am so glad I listened to my friends.
As a master of rationalization I am now reflecting upon what meaningful lessons I can extrapolate to my current career transition. It’s not too much of a stretch for me to focus upon the following:
*You’ve got to be in it to win it. Nothing can happen if you don’t try.
*You make your own luck, your strategy counts.
*Confidence. You’ve got to believe in both yourself and in the opportunity.
*Ask questions, don’t speculate wildly.
*Smile.
