Little did I know that the “working world” would require an extraordinary effort and loads of other skills! My journey on the career ladder would have been smoother, had I known a few important lessons. While there are many “on the job” lessons, some things in life must be experienced, to be truly understood.

I agree strongly with number one. If I was single and had no children then it would be OK for my career to be my life if I was enjoying it and it was not draining me. Without dependants I could make whatever priorities I wanted. I think that would be fine, but as a mother and a wife I have made a serious commitment to other people and to have a life outside my career. In many ways this probably makes me better at my career. I also agree with the other points. Good points and another striking photo.

I couldn't imagine my career being separate from my life, just because I totally enjoy everything I do. If I were to actually lose what I do, those values and beliefs would still stay with me, and I'd just find other activities (and careers) to put those values and beliefs to use in. Weird, huh?

There's so many things that would have changed my career if had kept all these ideas in mind. I was so hot tempered at my first job even though I was good at it. I love this.

I think they call it selling yourself or selling your image. You need to be a people person to really succeed I believe. People have to know you, like you, trust you, then they will do business with you. Very good points Shamelle. I think they call it selling yourself or selling your image.
