When I’m facing a challenge in my career I look for guidance from a higher authority.

Some read the bible, some read Ogilvy on Advertising and some read the iChing. I read the iSally. That’s when I open to a random page from Radical Careering, Sally Hogshead’s wonderfully inspiring and insightful book about careers, and see what wisdom she has for me. Here are a few choice nuggets I’ve read recently:

Worry less, do more. You only get a finite number of thoughts, choose wisely.

Never surrender to circumstances. There’s always another path to discover or create.

…most days, success is about wrestling failure to the ground until it cries uncle.

There is something worse than losing your job, reputation, nest egg or even your pride: losing hope.

Never confuse a cubicle for a pigeonhole.

In these trying times the best advice I have is to pick up a copy of Radical Careering, or check out the nifty random Radical Truth on the website, and see what wisdom is waiting there for you.
