Leadership and Life Balance: Dreams Are To Be Followed

This is by Divya Chandler, who at the time, was a resident in anesthesia and perioperative care at the University of California San Francisco Medical School.

Her advice to graduating high school students, printed in USA Today, January 18th, 2006, is motivational for anyone…especially those in leadership positions managing people, or who are self-employed, or in sales:

“Expect everything of yourself; there is no limit to what you can achieve if you put no limits. Do not ever put any achievement out of your purview if it is something you might want. Keep your childhood dreams with you as an adult. They are a reflection of how your soul is trying to guide you in life. Failing is OK. If you try 10 times, you may fail nine of them, but it is only the one success that counts. Use outward goals to direct your progress, but remember that ultimately, the path you take is more important than the end you reach.”
