This tree seems to have had a long
career
Yesterday I went to a meeting and talked about my own career with some young men. I have done that a number of times over a lot of years. Once I thought what I was doing was showing a possible career direction since that was what I was talking about......................
The career iteself really doesn't matter after all. Thinking and learning all you can about what you do and keeping track of people and relationships and actually caring about the people you work with does matter. It really isn't possible to learn everything about anything but there is nothing wrong with trying.
Emerson said that there is a time in every persons education when they arrrive at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is wrong, and that one must take themselves for better or worse. (Notice how I copied and imitated Emerson to make my point here by the way) .
Speaking of Emerson I do like this poem.....................
Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate,
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.
