Eating, sleeping and breathing the internet can't be healthy for anyone, whereas keeping up your other interests and passions lets you continue to see your career with a fresh and refreshed eye. It'll keep you from burnout and make you a more interesting person!LavenderandOnionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742811511693677264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35268624.post-28797346635024602532007-10-01T13:35:00.000-04:002007-10-01T13:35:00.000-04:00Well … I guess it’s not fair to say no one reads t...Well … I guess it’s not fair to say <I>no one </I>reads this blog!<BR/><BR/>One of my growing nigglies about so much I read on the Web is that there’s such an emphasis on getting data out fast, in ways that look flashy and sexy, that it can tempt us into forgetting about the importance of taking time reflect on where we’re going, and why. That’s a problem in our whole society, I think … the need to produce produce produce can mean that we don’t take time out often enough to think about the whole forest. The demands to examine a tiny piece of bark on one tree are just too intense.<BR/><BR/>So given that, I really appreciate reading somebody who’s taking the time to take stock of life and figure out what’s working. I have a growing sense that being truly alive means carving out time for that kind of introspection regularly throughout life … surely I’m still doing it (and missing it when I don’t give it the necessary time!)<BR/><BR/>It also never ceases to amaze me how so many of my interests and hobbies, that seem so unrelated to each other, come together in weird and wacky ways to make a significant contribution to my life. Nobody trained me for ½ of what I do at work – a lot of the time, I feel like I’m following my nose and integrating skills and interests I never would have thought would be relevant. I’m coming to the conclusion at my advanced years (grin!) that nothing’s been wasted.<BR/><BR/>So bravo for taking an anniversary seriously! And bravo for following your passion, and using it to make communication clearer and richer. That’s surely a specialty that’s essential, especially in such a fast-paced environment where the temptation is to give a lot more attention to flash than to substance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
