Book Cover & Preview Text
Economies shatter, governments fall, societies clash…yet the world evolves. From depressions to earthquakes, diseases to wars, history is replete with cataclysmic events that affect and reshape the fate of generation after generation. Rare does a century pass without a considerable, even transformational, change to the manner in which we work and the culture in which we live. In the twenty-first century, the most consequential event in its history may be the disruption and turmoil caused by an economy unable to provide a good and decent job to a society clamoring for some sense of economic security and social stability. In times past, when one industry fell another rose, when one job vanished another appeared. Advancements in science and technology, the twin factors most responsible in a world’s transformation, created new economics that enabled their societies to realize a rising standard of living. Farming evolved into industrialization, industrialization into manufacturing, and manufacturing into services, and in each metamorphosis its people progressed towards something more promising, to something better. For some, if not many, that progress has stalled and the promise of something better remains distant. Finding the right job may seem elusive, but for those who exhaustively explore opportunities, thoroughly prepare for an interview, extensively build relationships across industries, and never, ever stop looking for a job, the good job can still be found. Being the right employee may appear remote, but for those who work hard, think differently, adapt and adjust to changing environments, are loyal and care about their organization and its people, a good future can still be found. And, finally, becoming the right person may seem daunting, but for those who do the best with what they have, who ensure they have options in life, who always look for the good along the roads they travel, who let others live a life of negativity and misery, who are extraordinary kind-hearted, and who go down swinging for who they are and what they believe in, a good life can still be lived. In the end, nothing may seem to last, and the journey may be littered with the forsaken dreams and forgotten hopes of the fallen, but for those willing to work hard, for those that are kind and generous to all they meet, and for those who overcome any obstacle and triumph through any challenge, greatness will touch their life.
