Do Over?

Posted July 27, 2011 6:00 AM

Would you choose another path, take that job you passed up, pursue a different discipline, a different degree?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Motion Control Components, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Motion Control Components today.

This has happened to me several times in my "career". Things change. Circumstances change.

Adapt or die.

There is no third option.

there are those who view adapting as life.. others call it managing...

there are those who would say it is all a part of dying... as no one gets out alive.
