fish for breakfast

Tomorrow I will close my fifth week of training as a manager. I have three to go.

I read the fish philosophy today after breakfast. I've read FISH! before, but never really implemented it in anything I've done. With my new position now looming a mere three weeks away, I've gotten the urge to experiment with fish philosophy and perfect it before taking the reigns.

I have a passion for developing people and helping them succeed. Loving what you do is a vital element in being successful. It will make you want to work harder. This is where the fish philosophy starts. I just don't know how to share it with others.

the start of something big

Last week I started a new career. Oh yes. I did.

This is the start of something big. GIGANTIC. I have entered the real world, and there is no turning back. I have started to think about things I previously couldn't have cared less about. Things like health insurance. A new car. And upon my initial training period, a new city. Thus, a new apartment. Ah! What have I done?

It's ok. For once, change is a good thing. I feel like I have finally been given the opportunity to make something of myself. And that's just what I'll do.
