Your many and varied accomplishments
are truly extraordinary! Perhaps superhuman is a better word to describe your
Olympian talents. It seems you have several people in your prodigiously gifted
mind at one time! It is difficult for me to conceive of someone who has such intellectual
range and artistic talent to the extent that you have exhibited! Your website
has served as the impetus for me to embark on my own "portfolio career."
I believe many are realizing that having a "multiple career" approach
or "composite career," where people earn their money from a variety
of sources, is becoming more common and acceptable in our society today and will
doubtless become more prevalent in future years--probably the norm in the not
too distant future. I believe it has always been difficult for people with
a diversity and multitude of interests of interests and competencies to fit comfortably
in the workplace, where they are called upon to execute one basic task, a mind-numbingly
boring and repetitive task, the daily execution of which serves to stymie creative
personal and professional growth and development, which many times leads to profound
frustration, disappointment, and feelings of failure. Work has been for too long
defined in this narrow context, and we humans have had to function within this
truncated model, a model that has to be redefined and modified if we are to survive
in this new age of technological change. It is so refreshing to know that
you are publishing your thoughts gleaned from your years of personal and work-related
experience and providing a much-needed forum for those who wish to share their
particular experiences and relevant ideas. In concluding, I would like
to extend a special thanks to you for the inspiration you provided me to live
my dreams and seek my destiny, emancipating me from the fetters of a much too
constricting conception of work and life. I am anxiously awaiting an
issue of your publication. |
