When I was a kid, mom taught me so much. Once, when helping me learn to count by 25s, she ever-so-subtly imparted the critical life skill of determined persistence. Take 2-mins to hear my Mom’s Day gratitude (https://youtu.be/47f8Sua74MI), no matter what day it is. Mom knew how to do that math, and she was patient enough to sit with me and guide me so I could do it too. That experience taught me math and more. It taught me good career goals.

Good career goals make for top performance (& rewards)

My Story —

First in my family to get past high school, I graduated university in physics & math, getting my first professional position because I knew more quantum mechanics than anyone else (really geek). On the analysis team at work, I assessed nuclear threat to the U.S. mainland from the then USSR.

At first I thought working hard and doing great work were good career goals. They are, though sadly for me, my list was, shall we say, incomplete. I wasn’t getting the traction I wanted. So I wondered …

How can I move up into the next level or two?

I wanted to seize the day.
