it does not matter where you start in life or where you are now, the key to the direction you’re headed is where you choose to end up.

Translation:  No job is permanent.

Translation:  Prepare yourself financially and mentally to deal with the potential  loss of a job.

Translation:  Stay abreast of market changes, current company trends, etc.   Many who choose to ignore the signs that their job may be in  trouble are often ill prepared to start the search for a new job or to  start their own business.

Translation:  The more time you spend feeling sorry about losing your old  job, the longer it will take for you to enjoy the rewards of a brand  new one.

Translation:  Don’t sit around waiting for your phone to start ringing with job  offers. Take proactive steps to create a new source of income that  you and your family can depend on that allows you to live the  lifestyle you want.

Translation:  Once you’ve found that new source of income, take some time to  enjoy it; but do so wisely. If you never get to enjoy the spoils of your  work, you will quickly become unmotivated to keep working.

Translation:  Never stop moving with and adapting to the changes that affect your  life.
