Thanks for your comment. Ironically, practical, basic advice is sometimes the hardest to implement. Recognizing how important it is to manage the basics is a first step. Getting it done – that’s the tricky part!

So many times we send mixed messages to our employers merely because we perhaps don’t know what we want to being with. We ask to take on a big project, and then we balk at it midway. We see the greenner grass in other pastures and we think, I need to move, instead of, what do I really want? It’s so easy to just go through the motions and harder to force ourselves to evaluate what we’re doing and take courageous actions in that way.

Pour it for yourself! That’s something Gen Y really needs to learn how to do in the workplace. We’re pretty adept in doing it in social media, but when it comes to the workplace, we have a hard time applying this practical advice.
