THE
FIVE
PILLARS
OF
LIFE |
|
|
CHANGE IS
CONSTANT
You are living at at time when both you and your world,
as well as your dreams and goals, are constantly changing. No longer do
you have to pick one occupation and stick to it for the rest of your
working life. As a matter of fact, many jobs of the 21st century have yet
to be invented, so the most important skill you have is your ability to
adapt to change - both inside the workplace and out. Therefore, even if
you feel you have decided upon a career that you really and truly want to
pursue, always continue to do research and studying to keep up to date
with changes that may affect your career. Your life will evolve over the
next several years and your interests may change. Always keep your eyes on
the target. |
|
FOCUS ON THE
JOURNEY
Life is a journey - not a destination. As you evolve,
and as life evolves around you, the destinations you once set your eyes
upon may not seem as attractive as they once were. Many times you will
decide to take a different direction or attempt a new path that you haven’t
yet considered at this point in your life. Remember that every step you
take towards your destination is the beginning of a new journey. Focus on
the journey. |
|
KEEP ON LEARNING
You will continue to grow mentally and emotionally all
life long. The same is true about learning. After you finish school, as
long as there are opportunities for learning and growth around you, you
will continue to learn. Learning comes in many different ways, but no
matter how it appears, learning is forever and will be a part of your
future. |
|
TEAM UP WITH OTHERS
Your family, friends, mentors or new acquaintances - people who you
respect and trust - cannot be with you all of the time, but they can
provide the support and assistance when you need it the most. Never be too
proud to ask for their help - and never be too busy to offer them help
when they reach out to you. Nobody can go through this life alone. When
you team up with others, you will be that much closer to your own dreams
and aspirations. |
|
FOLLOW YOUR HEART
Find out what you want - what’s really important to you - and go
after it. Let your dreams shape your goals. Use the energy your dreams
give you to help you acquire the skills and take the risks you need to
make those dreams—or any part of them—a reality. Nothing in this world
was ever accomplished without a dream. Nothing is impossible. Reach for
the stars. |
