You are responsible for your own career. Your overall success depends on your willingness first to decide your life's mission and then to establish personal goals and objectives. Ensuring personal career success and enhancing job security are not passive activities. You must be proactive. You must take deliberate steps to influence your destiny—you simply cannot wait for good luck to come your way. You must decide what you desire and what you are willing to settle for, in terms of the nature of your work, your finances, and your relationships with family, friends, and associates. You must choose an occupation or profession that is compatible with your interests and personality, as well as your knowledge base and unique set of skills.
