All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you can't bat a thousand all the time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Trust me: all of us walk around and look at each other, and without saying it, we all know we're thinking, 'Really dude? Were still here!' and pinch ourselves. Typically, careers have short life span, 10 years if you're lucky, so what we've done is amazing.
Many of the young aspire to happy marriages and dot-com fortunes but end up in guarded love and okay-for-now jobs.
I've never really had much of a career plan, and interesting opportunities kept cropping up.
The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down.
Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.
You can try to plan your career, but not marriage.
Careers are what they are, they don't make any sense at all when you look back. We're not in charge of them.
Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.
Careers very rarely are a waste of time; jobs usually are.
