*There's No Right Time to Start Anything—Don't Wait, Begin Today!* We often find ourselves waiting for the "perfect" moment to start something new—a project, a business, a hobby, or a relationship. We tell ourselves that we'll start when the time is right, when conditions are ideal, or when we feel completely prepared. However, the truth is, there's never a perfect time to start anything. Waiting for the right moment is a trap that can keep us stuck in a cycle of procrastination. The reality is, there will always be obstacles, challenges, and uncertainties no matter when we decide to start. The key is to embrace the journey, knowing that there will never be a "perfect" time. Starting now, even if it's a small step, is better than waiting for the perfect moment that may never come. Each step forward, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goals and dreams. So, don't wait for the stars to align. Take that first step today, and trust that you have what it takes to navigate the journey ahead. Remember, the best time to start was yesterday, but the second-best time is now. So, what are you waiting for? Start today!

How to get a job ?

You never know when a temporary option will lead to a permanent opportunity.

5 things smart career humans tell themselves: - I can have great pay AND an awesome culture - I do not need to work 80 hour weeks to advance my career - It’s not too late to make a change or call it quits - There is no such thing as ‘going backwards’ - My job is not my identity

Imagine a trial in which 500 people got together in a group and lived amongst one another for 30 hours a week. After a month, they decided to open a company and their roles, duties, responsibilities were assigned based on the skills they presented throughout their trial period. Their talents and gifts were observed and they were assigned roles based on their expertise. Every one of you has a specific purpose and strength. It’s important to find it! And then make sure you’re using it. People can benefit from one another. The things you offer are unique to you and they can’t be taken from you. Know your strengths ; know your potential.

This is what "seize the opportunity" means. Use every resource that you can.

✓ From time to time it is essential to reflect on where we have been in our careers and how we got where we are today. ✓ It is important because none of us could have succeeded without significant contributions from others. ✓ For me, there have been many who have unselfishly shared their experiences, ideas and philosophies to help further my career. ✓ Look back on your career, what individuals influenced and molded you the most? ✓ Who gave you their time unselfishly, and perhaps gave you a second chance or even a third chance? ✓ More importantly - Pay it forward and make a difference in someone else’s career.
