13 Tips to Career Success

Bro. Cox shared 13 tips on leadership in your career.  Please choose two of those tips and describe how you might apply those in your current role, then how you might apply them in your future roles. 


-Prepare before opportunity knocks


This tip really struck home for me because I have never thought of it that way. I didn't think it was possible to prepare because it was impossible to predict what kind of opportunity would come knocking. But it is wise to prepare before anything comes up. Become that well rounded person ready to take on anything, and whatever challenges and opportunities arise, I will just be one more step ahead of the game. 


-If you don't love it, leave it


I understand that this does not imply "quit after you fail" but I know that I have definitely been stuck in a place where I felt miserable with what I'm doing. I would rather be passionate and enthusiastic about the work I'm doing than hate it and do it as a chore. Not only does that make me unhappy, it also negatively affects those around me because it may cause my work to be sloppy, my attitude would be unenjoyable, etc.
