3. The 21st Century Mantra
• For a professional never stopping your career is a
struggle, for there are times when you want to just
jump off the train.
• It demands looking at the “bigger picture” instead of
focusing too tightly on the head down display within
a cubed, limited view work-life.
• In this century a successful CAREER is defined by
an increasing use of a curious mind, the constant
expansion of knowledge and skill sets, until the day
you decide that its time to stop working.
