It’s Never Easy

Job seeking, keeping, and even job leaving can trigger ethical dilemmas. But thank heaven we all learn and grow from our experiences—good or bad. And we all overcome challenges to become better people. Think of it this way: if we didn’t have those challenges, we would never have had the opportunity to progress. Take heart: you can handle it all and keep your ethics intact.

This became a credo of mine . . . attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
