"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."- Henry David Thoreau
"A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort."- Sydney Smith
Saw these and was reminded of Orrin Woodward - a man of courage, a dreamer.
Why not live the life you imagined? Can you honestly say that today's four meetings at work were about what you reallly value in life? Think back. Think hard.
What will be the reward for all your effort, for all the years of attending meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting? Will you be pushed out without the pension you thought you were going to get? Or will you get a smaller than expected pension to match those ever-diminishing medical benefits? What kind of life will you really have?
You can have the life of your dreams. All that is required is that you make the first effort - that you begin.
That's what Orrin Woodward did. That's what I did. That is what you can do.
