In the overwhelming stream of information I unsuccessfully attempt to consume daily, one quote came across my twitter feed, unaccompanied by the usual tweet jargon and links (a naked tweet), that stood out:
&#8220;Discipline is remembering what you want.&#8221;
It&#8217;s a simple quote that isn&#8217;t especially deep. What I like about it, though, is that it&#8217;s harsh, [...]]]></description>

Recently, I had the opportunity to have dinner with someone I&#8217;d consider a mentor. She&#8217;s a successful exec that I was lucky enough to meet as a nervous undergraduate by striking up a conversation after a presentation. Everyone else shirked away to the corners in terror while I put on my game face and went [...]]]></description>

For me, blogging is hard. In fact, all writing tends to be an arduous process &#8211; tough break for someone that wants to be a writer. It&#8217;s not that I can&#8217;t write, it&#8217;s my inability to find the time and focus to write.
At any given moment, my mind is swerving from one activity to another [...]]]></description>

Have you ever seen your best friend&#8217;s resume? You know&#8230;that non-Web based paper thing people use to apply for jobs? Yeah, that.
I haven&#8217;t. In fact, I haven&#8217;t seen any of my close friends&#8217; resumes. Sharing it seems almost taboo, like telling someone your salary.
Granted, my five or six closest friends work in completely different industries [...]]]></description>

Your going to be inundated with Gen Y focused motivational material online about changing jobs and careers. Why? Because entry-level jobs suck. It&#8217;s a fact.
These books/stories/blog posts carry a great message and are exactly what many twenty-somethings need to keep on keepin&#8217; on, but lots of them (mine included) also leave out an important bit [...]]]></description>
