INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
Believe not in anything simply because you have heard it,
Believe not in anything simply because it was spoken and rumoured by many,
Believe not in anything simply because it was found written in your religious texts,
Believe not in anything merely on the authority of teachers and elders,
Believe not in traditions because they have been handed down for generations,
But after observation and analysis, if anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, accept it and live up to it.
Gautama Buddha
––
Great Spirit, whose voice is on the wind, hear me.
Let me grow in strength and knowledge.
Make me ever behold the red and purple sunset.
May my hands respect the things you have given me.
Teach me the secrets hidden under every leaf and stone, as you have taught people for ages past.
Let me use my strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy – myself.
Let me always come before you with clean hands and an open heart, that as my Earthly span fades like the sunset, my Spirit shall return to you without shame.
(Based on a traditional Sioux prayer)
–—
“I do not seek to walk in the footsteps of the Wise People of old; I seek what they sought”.

Understanding Your Career Goals
Embarking on a fulfilling career journey is akin to setting sail on a well-charted course. It requires clear direction, a well-defined destination, and a steady hand at the helm. Understanding your career goals is the cornerstone of this journey. It’s not merely about landing a job; it’s about crafting a path that aligns with your aspirations, values, and strengths. In this article, we’ll delve into the critical aspects of defining and honing your career goals, equipping you with the insights needed to navigate the professional world.
Self-Assessment: The Starting Point
Before setting sail, it’s essential to understand your own vessel. Self-assessment involves introspection, evaluating your skills, passions, and values. What are you naturally inclined towards? What activities do you find most engaging? Knowing yourself is key to choosing a career that resonates with your true self.
Long-term vs. Short-term Goals
Distinguish between long-term career objectives and short-term milestones. Long-term goals serve as your ultimate destination, while short-term goals mark the stepping stones along the way. Balancing both ensures that you’re making tangible progress towards your overarching vision.
Industry Research: Navigating the Professional Landscape
Familiarise yourself with the industries that pique your interest. Understand their dynamics, growth prospects, and job opportunities. This research will help you make informed decisions about which sector aligns best with your career goals.
Networking: Building Bridges to Opportunities
Effective networking is not just about collecting contacts; it’s about building meaningful relationships. Attend industry events, engage with professionals, and seek mentorship. Networking opens doors to opportunities and provides valuable insights from those who’ve navigated similar career waters.
Skill Development: Shaping Your Professional Toolkit
Identify the skills necessary for success in your chosen field. Invest in continuous learning and skill development to stay relevant and competitive. Consider courses, workshops, and certifications that enhance your proficiency.
Setting Realistic Milestones
Break down your long-term goals into manageable milestones. These serve as checkpoints, ensuring you’re on the right course. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and use them to fuel your motivation.
