More Reflections on the Past.....

Besides the past year, people look back over their lives, both personal and career-wise. Some people regret what they have done with either, but that is the incorrect way to look at it. Whether right or wrong, experiences shape the person we are today. I was once told the things to regret are the things we did not do.
My father was a very successful business man. Before he retired it was a 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home, pool in the yard, nice cars, yearly vacations. I decided to change careers and go to cooking school after he retired. Then he told me that if had the chance he would have played professional baseball. He had been offered a position on the Pittsburg Pirates, but he had a stay at home wife and five children to feed. There was no way he could afford his family on the baseball player's salary back then. So he remained in the business world.
So, if things have not gone exactly as planned, maybe a new career is in store for the new year. People possess many talents and abilities that can be applied to a job they have never considered. Try job.travel for that new start. The past has happened, and cannot be changed, the future is ours to sit back and accept of take a chance and change our path.
