"Look at the donut, not the hole." ...age-old advice from one of my former coaches, reminding us to look at what we have, not what we don't


Remember, Babe Ruth may have been one of the great homerun hitters of all time, but he also struck out a lot, too. The job search is just like that, especially in this economy. Keep getting back up there and swinging for the fence!


"The majority of the word 'can't' is can." ...attributed to Betty Weaver, former CSB school director

Thursday's Leads: Stay Cool Out There!

"When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt."  --Henry J. Kaiser


"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it." --Thomas Jefferson


This Jefferson quotation is an idea that I've heard many times in reading about professional athletes who experience success.  It incorporates the notion that luck is not so much a random element, but rather something that we can cultivate and grow through our efforts.  It makes sense, too, because it has frequently been proven that chance favors those who are prepared.  So the question, then, is simply this:  What are you doing to be prepared?  What are you doing to improve your luck?


That's it for now!  Have a great day, and think cool!  It's a hot one out there!
