It’s been a really productive Saturday. I awoke with the intention to go to yoga (a much-needed early afternoon class) and after my post-yogi vegetarian meal at Fresh, I headed to Chapters – always a stop during relaxing (albeit rare) days.
God must really love me, since I always seem to pick up books entirely relevant to my present, as if I’m being given the privilege to learn about the world’s most unfortunate reality: what we thought was true yesterday has no bearing on what is true today.
Inspire Your Career by Patricia Barbato is a book catered toward new graduates and young professionals. She writes as your mentor, your boss, your confidant and an inspiring friend. She gives you a snapshot of the way things could be in five or ten years and urges young professionals to be respectful and more importantly, patient (completely lacking in a personality type like mine) with the managers and organizations they work for.
I’m telling you, the universe always figures out a way to keep my ego in-check.
“Excellence is not a one-hit wonder. Excellence needs to be a habit, which takes time to demonstrate. It may take the tenth or twentieth good assignment before your boss starts to form an opinion of your performance”
-Patricia Barbato
