“An object in motion is easier to redirect than a stationary one.” I’m sure I made up that quote sometime in my teens during one of my endless semesters of physics. I’m sure I’m not the first person to have that thought. I’m also sure it’s the end of the year. That means many job-seekers are either tired of searching or hesitating or reluctant to get moving until the new year. I just can’t have that, so I want to continue my little run of job-search-motivation to help with your momentum. Today, I’m serving up an analogy from my life to help you get charged, maintain your focus, not worry about the future, and a bunch of other really cool messages I managed to stuff into 309 seconds. For the rest of your life, remember… When you’re doing something, focus on the shout. When you’re reflecting, focus on the echo. When you make a mistake, make it an error of commission not omission.

It’s really the “sorting” you’re working for… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.
