Authors Introduction to Wings for Work

For the vast majority of people, work is something we have to do. Yet, if you were to interview any cross-section of working people, you would quickly note a vast difference in their views, thoughts, perceptions, and feelings about their “work”.

While some people can’t wait until their retirement, others feel cheated that they have to retire at all.

Over the years, I have read about and talked with many people about how to be successful at work. What I share with you in this book are my thoughts and experiences on what comprises success, and my thoughts on when “work” is no longer work.

“From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover you have wings.”
Helen Hayes

The wings of life are like those of a butterfly. As a child, we are protected and guided by our parents like a cocoon protecting a butterfly. Later, we test our own wings sometimes fluttering, falling or soaring to great heights.

Our ability to achieve success depends on the strength of our wings gained through knowledge and experience. The greater our knowledge and experience the higher we can fly.

May the writings in this book assist you to achieve success in your chosen profession, and reinforce your wings!
