“To reach a port, we must sail.
Sail, not tie at anchor.
Sail, not drift.”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
We are going to try something a little new at CareerSparx and mix it up every once in a while with a little inspirational quote. Really, who doesn’t like quotes? Or, maybe we’re just dorky like that. Anyway, as you head into your last long weekend of summer, think about these wise words from former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was a pretty smart guy after all.
In our opinion, what he’s trying to get at here is that you must take action to get to a new point in your life. You can’t anchor yourself somewhere safe. (Such as at your parent’s house post-graduation.) You also can’t drift if you plan on getting anywhere. And trust us, we know sometimes when you don’t know what your next step is, that can tend to happen. So, enjoy this weekend, but if you find yourself caught in some down time with a moment to think, ask yourself where it is you want to sail to in your career. Yes, that might sound cheesy, but we only say it because it’s true. Hey, if it worked for FDR, it can work for you.
We’ll be back Tuesday, Sparxsters. Have a great weekend!
