It is the most requested column I&#8217;ve ever written.</p><p>My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more.</p><p>1. Life isn&#8217;t fair, but it&#8217;s still good.</p><p>2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.</p><p>3. Life is too short – enjoy it.</p><p>4. Your job won&#8217;t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.</p><p>5. Pay off your credit cards every month.</p><p>6. You don&#8217;t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.</p><p>7. Cry with someone. It&#8217;s more healing than crying alone.</p><p>8. It&#8217;s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.</p><p>9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.</p><p>10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.</p><p>11. Make peace with your past so it won&#8217;t screw up the present.</p><p>12. It&#8217;s OK to let your children see you cry.</p><p>13. Don&#8217;t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.</p><p>14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn&#8217;t be in it.</p><p>15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, but don&#8217;t worry, God never blinks.</p><p>16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.</p><p>17. Get rid of anything that isn&#8217;t useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.</p><p>18. Whatever doesn&#8217;t kill you really does make you stronger.</p><p>19.. It&#8217;s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.</p><p>20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don&#8217;t take no for an answer.</p><p>21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don&#8217;t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.</p><p>22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.</p><p>23. Be eccentric now. Don&#8217;t wait for old age to wear purple.</p><p>24. The most important sex organ is the brain.</p><p>25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.</p><p>26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words &#8216;In five years, will this matter?&#8217;</p><p>27. Always choose life.</p><p>28. Forgive</p><p>29. What other people think of you is none of your business.</p><p>30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.</p><p>31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.</p><p>32. Don&#8217;t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.</p><p>33. Believe in miracles.</p><p>34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn&#8217;t do.</p><p>35. Don&#8217;t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.</p><p>36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.</p><p>37. Your children get only one childhood.</p><p>38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.</p><p>39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.</p><p>40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else&#8217;s, we&#8217;d grab ours back.</p><p>41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need</p><p>42. The best is yet to come&#8230;</p><p>43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.</p><p>44. Yield.</p><p>45. Life isn&#8217;t tied with a bow, but it&#8217;s still a gift.&#8221;</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/2013/05/45-lessons-learned/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>14 Telling Signs You Love Your Job</title><link>http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/2013/05/14-telling-signs-you-love-your-job/</link> <comments>http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/2013/05/14-telling-signs-you-love-your-job/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 06 May 2013 13:33:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tracie Shapiro</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Newsletter]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/?p=1382</guid> <description><![CDATA[Dharmesh Shah &#8211; Founder and CTO at HubSpot and Blogger at OnStartups.com You may not give your computer screen an embarrassingly gushing smile and you might not write little love notes during your lunch break.

But, there are ways to tell if you love your job.</p><p>Of course, no job is perfect &#8212; even the best of relationships have their down days. We all have to do things we don’t like. I love working at HubSpot, it&#8217;s the best job I&#8217;ve ever had. But, even I have “off” days where I&#8217;m not spending all my time doing things I absolutely love.</p><p>So all of the following may not be the case all of the time… but when you love your job, many of the following should be the case much of the time:</p><p>1. You don’t talk about other people; you talk about the cool things other people are doing.<br /> “I hear Mary is heading up a new project. What are they working on?” “I’d love to know how Mike managed to rescue that customer relationship.” “Sherry developed a new sales channel; is there some way we can leverage that?”</p><p>When you love your job you don’t gossip about the personal failings of others. You talk about their successes, because you’re happy for them – and because you’re happy with yourself.</p><p>2. You think, “I hope I get to…” instead of, “I hope I don’t have to…”<br /> When you love your job it’s like peeling an onion. There are always more layers to discover and explore.</p><p>When you hate your job it’s also like peeling an onion – but all you discover are more tears.</p><p>3. You see your internal and external customers not as people to satisfy but simply as people.<br /> They aren&#8217;t numbers. You think of them as real people who have real needs.</p><p>And you gain a real sense of fulfillment and purpose from taking care of those needs.</p><p>4. You enjoy your time at work.<br /> You don&#8217;t have to put in time at work and then escape to life to be happy. You believe in enjoying life and enjoying work.</p><p>When you love your job, it’s a part of your life. You feel alive and joyful not just at home – but also at work.</p><p>5. You would recommend working at your company to your best friend…<br /> In fact, you can&#8217;t stop talking about how cool your company is and the awesome work you&#8217;re doing even when you&#8217;re away from work.</p><p>6. You enjoy attending meetings.<br /> No, seriously, you enjoy meetings. Why? Because it’s fun to be at the center of thoughtful, challenging discussions that lead to decisions, initiatives, and changes – changes you get to be a part of.</p><p>7. You don’t think about surviving. You think about winning.<br /> You don&#8217;t worry much about losing your job. You&#8217;re more worried about not achieving your potential. Not being as impactful as you can.</p><p>8. You see your manager as a person you work with, not for.<br /> You feel valued. You feel respected. You feel trusted.</p><p>9. You don’t want to let your coworkers down.<br /> Not because you’ll get in trouble or get a bad performance review, but because you admire them – and you want them to admire you.</p><p>10. You hardly ever look at the clock.<br /> You’re too busy making things happen. When you do look at the clock, you often find that the time has flown.</p><p>11. You view success in terms of fulfillment and gratification – not just promotions and money.<br /> Everyone wants to be promoted. Everyone wants to earn more.<br /> You definitely feel that way too… but somewhere along the way your job has come to mean a lot more to you than just a paycheck. And if you left this job, even if for a lot higher salary… you would still miss it.</p><p>A lot.</p><p>12. You leave work with items on your to-do list you’re excited about tackling tomorrow.<br /> Many people cross the “fun” tasks off their to-do lists within the first hour or two.</p><p>You often have cool stuff – new initiatives, side projects, hunches you want to confirm with data, people you want to talk to – left over when it’s time to go home.</p><p>13. You help without thinking.<br /> You like seeing your colleagues succeed, so it’s second nature to help them out. You pitch in automatically.</p><p>And they do the same for you.</p><p>14. You don’t think about retirement… because retirement sounds boring…<br /> …and a lot less fulfilling.</p><p>How many of the above statements apply to you and your job?</p><p>If you said:<br /> 0-3: You may want to find a new job. Life is too short.<br /> 4-6: You don&#8217;t hate your job&#8230; but you don&#8217;t love it either. What can you do differently?<br /> 7-10: You really enjoy your job and the people you work with<br /> 11-14: You are deeply, madly in love with your job! (and your friends are jealous!)</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/2013/05/14-telling-signs-you-love-your-job/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Tiger Cub</title><link>http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/2013/05/tiger-cub/</link> <comments>http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/2013/05/tiger-cub/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 06 May 2013 13:27:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tracie Shapiro</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Newsletter]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/hr/?p=1380</guid> <description><![CDATA[Welcome to our latest Tiger Cub!
