People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm sure some people have an absolute grasp of where they are in their careers. I just don't think about it that much.
It always irritated me that people think they have to be locked into a career path.
People all over are finding themselves in jobs they never thought they'd be in.
People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralysing surfeit of it. They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: overchoice.
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.
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.
Some people get in the way of change happening. Some people spend their whole careers thinking they can make a difference. Other people want to do as little as possible to get the day done.
Who can worry about a career? Have a life.
We have the opportunity not just to choose our job or profession, but also to choose the sort of life we want to live and the imprint we will leave on others.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
