Recipe for Success

     A choice needs to be made between work and education in life.  Work and education are important and equally so.  They increase a person’s prospects for the future in terms of salary, skills and marketability.  People should excel at whatever they choose to do and not feel that education is their only option for it is not.  There are many types of employment and education and many employers provide training and will even pay for education down the road.  Deciding between work and education and recognizing which is the proper course of action for each individual is a must in terms of remaining focused in one’s daily activities and plotting a course in which one is likely to succeed and get the most out of his or her efforts.

     People should stay busy and focused on what it is they want to be doing to support themselves.  Actively engage in that activity and be productive about it and it will take care of itself.  That is the goal anyways.  People who do this will increase their skill, art, and resume in terms of having marketable material available to show for their efforts.

     Proper training is required to get in the door for many fields.  This is because we live in a society of competition for a limited amount of jobs.  People are simply not going to get hired based on natural ability.  We must have a piece of paper showing we have been properly trained in the profession we wish to go into.  This is to set us apart from everybody else that is trying to get into that profession.  Companies want to succeed and get the best talent.  They feel this method works for that and they are the ones providing employment at present.  When we own the business we can make the rules and until then we must recognize the rules as they stand. 

     Therefore we must all get the proper training required for whatever field it is that we wish to go into.  This is not always our first choice of career but we must sometimes have something guaranteed to pay the bills and work on our first choice career in our free time and in a manner that is likely to achieve success for us in that endeavor.  Everything in life should be done with focus and direction.  Avoid depression and frustration.  Instead focus on things that are likely to help us succeed and live a healthy, well rounded existence.
