Lewis, a contemporary and friend of “Lord of the Rings” author J.R. In today’s world, with the proliferation of information through the internet and other media, there is a tidal wave of opinions and facts – some true, some not, waiting for us.Ĭ.S. You will need to determine what your standard is going to be before you make those decisions. You’ll be challenged, by professors and fellow students, to analyze the assumptions you hold. Some of you will be going to college, where you will be exposed to people from backgrounds that may be very different from your own. The ability to put aside our biases and emotions and just weigh facts is not easy. We can find someone to substantiate just about anything we want to think about ourselves or anything else, so we often aren’t real eager to hear an opposing viewpoint, especially one that is uncomfortable. We live in a world inundated with subjectivity and group-think, fanned by social media and the internet. Here’s one more piece of advice: Seek truth and live by it. All sound advice, and after what you’ve witnessed in recent years, it might not be too hard to convince you that such a path is the one to follow. No doubt you’ve been told, in so many words, to go forth and conquer, to find success, to live in a way that is respectful of others and conducive to a healthy society. You erstwhile seniors have already heard plenty of platitudes. What could become a major war threatens to boil over in eastern Europe.Īmerica is divided on just about every possible issue – abortion, government spending, firearms, immigration, election integrity, social issues, etc., etc. All the essentials, if we can even get them. We’re seeing inflation shoving prices up – steeply – on all sides. Practise makes perfect so that when fate delivers your dream job, you are in the best position to come out on top.As this year’s graduates should be very aware, we live in a confusing world. Self-fating works when you manage it, not when it is rampant across every facet of life! To those of you who are currently looking for work, do as much as you can to find the best role for you. Whatever gets you through matters, and fate matters to many of us, so if you are struggling with it and are beginning to think about compromising, don’t! Stay strong and fate will deliver incremental improvements. I thank fate and 212F for not having to be in that position. My sister goes on about it all the time, love your job or leave it. I am grateful to 212F for the gift of deep down work happiness and optimism. I am going to kick so many goals this year, not just for me, but for the leadership and awesome team members I spend much of my life with at 212F. then a perfect, progressive position was advertised at 212F - for a self-fater I'd go as far as to say 'it was a job made for me'! Roll on 2 years and I have never been in a job where I have felt that I can have more impact in the coming year than I do right now. In my situation, with my inherent traits, just when I was starting to think about compromising on work/life balance, salary expectations etc. That is an absolute guess, but figure I would be pretty close to the mark. We most likely make up for the percentage of people who try meditation and cannot re-program, focus our mind on a single pin hole and elevate to another plain too. Work hard, worry about it, do all you can to get a job like everybody else, but fate will deliver. There is a segment, like me, who do not self-analyse as well as we should, because we trust fate. It may even work for more than a half, but I tell you one thing right now. My sister is a Professional Career Coach and on Linked In and Instagram she posts ‘break it down, analyse what you are good at, what don’t you want in your role, what are non-negotiables in your next company etc.’ I am sure this self-analysis must work for half of people looking for work, or determining what their next career goal or step is. Things were looking bleak, even in a best case scenario! That was if I even got asked to interview. I knew I had to wait 6 weeks until jobs would start appearing early Feb 2019, and then another few weeks for a first interview. 2 years ago I was broke, was rapidly losing confidence in what I was good at, did not want to go ‘back in’ to B2C loyalty or global corporate and at an emotional dead-end. In September 2018 I lost my contract role. I want to compliment all of the self-faters who have lost something over the past 12 months, with the most common being income.
