At a Graduation Speech
  Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author,
Anna Quindlen

A speech made by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Anna Quindlen at the graduation ceremony of an American university where she was awarded an Honorary PhD.

"I'm a novelist. My work is human nature. Real life is all I know. Don't ever confuse the two, your life and your work. You will walk out of here this afternoon with only one thing that no one else has.

There will be hundreds of people out there with your same degree: there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you will be the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. Your particular life.

Your entire life. Not just your life at a desk or your life on a bus or in a car or at the computer. Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart. Not just your bank accounts but also your soul.

People don't talk about the soul very much anymore. It's so much easier to write a resume than to craft a spirit. But a resume is cold comfort on a winter's night, or when you're sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you've received your test results and they're not so good.

Here is my resume: I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my work stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the centre of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends and them to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today, because I would be a cardboard cut out.

But I call them on the phone and I meet them for lunch. I would be rotten, at best mediocre, at my job if those other things were not true. You cannot be really first rate at your work if your work is all you are. So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger pay cheque, the larger house. Do you think you'd care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon or found a lump in your breast?

Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze at the seaside, a life in which you stop and watch how a red-tailed hawk circles over the water, or the way a baby scowls with concentration when she tries to pick up a sweet with her thumb and first finger.

Get Your Career in Site  by Gina Imperato via Fast Company
No, this isn't another article about how to post your resume on the Web! It's a practical guide to using the Web to answer the real questions: What kind of work do you want to do? What kind of company do you want to work for?

Living On Purpose by Accompli
Comments (2)

The philosopher Kierkegaard said, "Life must be understood backward. But...it must be lived forward." Another way of putting this is, "Hindsight is 20-20." So often we live looking to the past for guidance. We're comfortable with the weight of the known, oozing like oatmeal over our brains, leaving us slightly muddled and hazy, safe from choice.

It is scary to step off the well-worn path and dip our toes into the lifestream of all possibility. Most of us, upon hearing that faint whisper to wake up and claim our true heritage, to begin to live the gift that is uniquely ours, react initially like the Starship Enterprise encountering a menacing space alien. The Captain (our mind) says, "Shields up!" continued...
