The key to a successful career and comfort it considers the pursuit of goals, the ability to find new opportunities and talented people that are interested in working. These general principles are constantly talking, but forget to add to them one more important step - implementation.

It remains to plan: to set short-term goals, each of which will benefit in itself. These steps must exactly match your vision and the main long-term goal. So you get to the finish line and implement their plan. Of course, everything is taken into account does not, something goes wrong. We all have problems, and in those moments, you can choose to continue to fight or to quit.

According to Green, to change the purpose, there are two important reasons:

The balance between work and personal life

A former art director of Spotify Tobias van Schneider (Tobias van Schneider) considersThat between work and private life should not be a sharp border. If it is, then we either hate their profession or have no personal life. And more often than office becomes a place for us to torture, where we seek rather to escape.

Family and friends - it's part of our lives. But Wang Schneider's view, daily work, too, should not be underestimated: it shapes our personality, because we work most of the week.

Van Snyder notes that not all luck as he, and not everyone can choose what to do every day, but he himself was not always in a comfortable position.

I am sure that every person can earn on what he likes to do. Enjoy the work depends on our perception. Often, it's not a stupid post, and that we consider it as such.

Once Tobias said scavenger, why to have to deal with this kind of work. The man replied with a smile: "I pick up trash more than 20 years, I like this job, and I do not for that it would not change. I'll walk in the fresh air every day and I think cleaning the city important. It's like a computer game: street by street you purify faster than other scavengers. "

If you do not like your job, perhaps to blame society, in which decided to hate the need to work hard all week (remember how everyone is happy Fridays and hate Mondays).

Revise their views, finally begin to do important things themselves and others, find your favorite a businessAnd the work will cease to oppress you, and career will go up the hill.
