Hey Marelisa, learning new ways to improve our lives will help us stay happy. It takes a little work and we may not see it’s how it can help us, but over time we will see why certain experiences have helped us succeed.

Hey Urban Panther, I know that working for a large company was rough. I can’t imagine a large government department. It helps to break down the big problems or situations into smaller ideas and anything that can’t be changed must be let go, so you can move on to better things.

Hey Flora, I’m almost always surprised at how one training experience has helped me in ways that I never thought possible.

It is very disheartening working in a company that seems to have no clear direction, but be thankful for the computer software training. This is an excellent opportunity to add to your repertoire of skills, and perhaps make your current work easier, but certainly better prepare you for your next job.

Oh, try working for a large government department,which will remain nameless, but ends the statement 'Death and...' With each new chief, comes a new flavour of the day. I try and focus on my little piece of the pie and try to influence what I have the ability to influence; thereby providing myself and my team as much stability as possible. The rest, I just let go.

Karl: I know how much frustration there can be when there's chaos in the work place. The good thing is that chaos can bring opportunity if you keep your eyes and ears open and are willing to take on new responsibilities. I agree that learning new things is always beneficial, even if you can't see how you would apply the new knowledge at this particular moment.

Hey Barbara, education makes our world go round. Without our knowledge and skills we would be struggling to survive. Any chance we get to learn more even if it doesn’t quite fit into our job description, we must jump at the opportunity.

Hi Karl, I like your answer. It is so true. Often there are parts of our jobs that seem irrelevant, but it something we may be able to use later in life. One thing about education or knowledge, no one can ever take it away from you. Barbara Swafford's last blog post..Free ‘n Easy Friday Finds - Blog Protection
