What kind of answers do we want to hear whenever we ask for career advice? Most likely, the things we want to hear. Sometimes, even the unnecessary and unsolicited advice are also given. But, in this list is 5 of the simplest career advice you'll ever hear, no matter how young or old you are. No additional remarks and what not. Come take a look!
"Work to live, but don't live to work." May it be that we have goals to exceed or that we just love our job so much, that we tend to bury our heads deep into our pile of work. Always remind yourself to breathe and remember that you have a life outside of your job. Time is gold. Spend it wisely.
"Don't just chase the money." Sure, cash is one thing to consider when looking for a job. But when you engulf yourself with only money as the root of your hard work, then you will be surprised how some things may not work in the way that you want them to. In the words of Harold Greene, 'In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later.' Love your job for how it is. Who knows? It might just love you back. If it doesn't, that's where your resiliency must come out.
"You may be underpaid now, but someday, you will be overpaid." If and only if you work for it. Great things take time, and greater things don't come easy. Fuel your determination with salary needs, but don't let the money take over your performance in a negative way.
"Don't be afraid of change." They say that it is the only constant thing in this world. And it is. Go and grow with the flow. Learn from your mistakes, adapt to change, use your experiences to your advantage and diversify your strength.
"Treat each and every day as your first day." When you are about to give up, think of all the reasons why you held on to your job, or why you even got it in the first place. Smile and handle it.
