FAMOUS INSPIRING CAREER
QUOTES...
Some of my all time favorite career quotes are those that not
only apply to my professional goals, but also to life in general. Need a little
inspiration of your own? Here are just a few career quotes that compel me to
work hard, stay positive & pursue my dreams.
No matter how much money you make or what type of title you have, if you are not happy, you won’t feel fulfilled. When you examine your ultimate career objectives, think about this quote & remember that your job should bring out the best in you. It is definitely no secret that when you feel fulfilled professionally, it will help enrich other areas of your life, as well. Which of these career quotes is your favorite? Are there any other quotes that inspire you to be your best, whether personally or professionally?
By far one of my favorite career quotes, this message reminds me to stop constantly comparing myself to others & simply focus on making the decisions I know are right for me. I personally have not chosen to follow a traditional career path, & I also have not worked a typical 9-to-5 office job in the past couple years. While people do on occasion look at me like I am crazy, this quote helps me remember that just because a certain work style might not be appealing to someone else; it can in fact be the perfect fit for me.
When it comes to reaching our career goals, so much of the battle simply believes in our own abilities to make them a reality. Does fear of failure threaten to hold you back? Today, vow to put the doubts aside & dive right in. Even if things do not work out the way you’d hoped, is not it better to know than to always wonder what might have been.
Procrastination can be a bitter foe, especially when it comes to achieving large career goals that can not be completed within the course of an average workday. But rather than perpetually putting off working toward these objectives, think about how great you’ll feel after you have gotten started. As I mentioned in the previous section, even if things do not exactly turn out the way you wanted them to, at least you’ll know you made the effort.
How often in today’s busy world do we put aside our own personal needs in order to prioritize our work needs instead? Finding the right work life balance can be tough, but when you do, you’ll not only be happier at work, but likely more productive, as well. So go ahead & use all, yes all, of your vacation days every year, & also make sure you are spending enough time focusing on your health & family life. While work is certainly a big part of our lives, it should not be all of it.
It is easy to become discouraged & beat yourself up over mishaps at work, but when these things happen, simply take a deep breath & think about the meaning behind this quote. Just as ups & downs are a common part of our personal lives, they are also typical to everyone’s work experience, even when you love your job & are great at it. Made a mistake on a report? Having problems with a coworker? Stay positive, & do not let a bad day derail you.
Whether they feel threatened by your success or are dealing with tough issues in their own lives, some people seem to thrive on negativity. But while you may have to work with them, you do not have to let their bad attitudes rub off on you. Seek out mentors & friends who believe in you & can help lift you up with constructive advice, rather than simply drag you down with endless criticism.
And finally the ever green, always remember this one and never "GIVE UP" to create one of your own.
