My dear daughter,
To have a successful career, always take stock of your progress and keep your goal in sight. Have in mind who you are, where you are and where you are headed. If along the way you perceive that you’re heading for a dead end, make a detached appraisal of the situation and what needs to be done. From my experience, an in-depth appraisal precedes a much-needed mindset overhaul. This helps to get your mind updated to the changes and makes adaptation easy.
But, my darling, to get to your predetermined destination, you need to stay focused on your goal and not let the obstacles you encounter discourage you; instead, it should bring out the best in you. There are two types of people in this world: those who buckle under the pressure of hard times and those who use challenging times as a springboard for new opportunities.
My dear, I can’t overemphasise the importance of being clear minded in all your engagements. In other words, know what you are working hard for.
Wish you the best as always.
Love you,
Dad
