1. being smart is not enough
2. being right doesn't matter
3. good luck beats intellect
4. politics trumps reason
5. emotion defeats thinking
6. pioneers pay a price for being first

Career Coach: The Future You
So, it is great when friends find information for you on the Internet because they think it would be a good "blog pickle."
My friend, Design Guy, shared this link with me today and made me stop and think for a minute or two. This topic has been on my mind lately - What do I want to do with the rest of my life?
Take a look at the article, it makes a few good points (none of which include "climbing the corporate ladder."
The main points, in case the link stops working soon, include:
1. Be happy now. Don’t wait for next week, next month or next year. A common regret of old people was, “I got so focused on trying to get what I did not have, I failed to appreciate all that I did have. I had almost everything. I wish that I would’ve taken the time to appreciate it.”
2. Build relationships and help people, especially friends and family.
3. If you have a dream, go for it.
