Work. There is a lot of discussion today about work or the lack of work. How do you define work? As I see it work is the word to describe what it is you do — that is, what you learned in school, the skills you acquired with further training, learning on the job, and applying these skills wherever you are employed.

Another key element of work is the lifelong learning that allows you to grow into new positions where you can apply the new skills to make yourself and the business or institution you work with more productive. In order for any economy to grow and create new jobs and new opportunities everyone has to be more productive and assist in the creation of new capital so that further growth can be facilitated. Let’s all examine what we do in our work and take steps to improve how we do our jobs so that we are part of the solution.

“All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.” - Brian Tracy
