Not too long ago I tried to advance my career within my profession. The position came down to two candidates, myself and another. Unfortunately, the position went to the other candidate. I was devastated!!
I was so sure that I was the better choice that the rejection left me in a very deep depression. How could it be that my ability was not recognized? I seriously began to doubt the skills I had developed. I stopped my professional growth, retreated from any challenge, and had a very negative outlook an all things. I was not able to see the good that lay within that rejection until a little book provided the key for me.
After reading 'Peaks and Valleys' I took stock of where I was. I realized that I had many good qualities that would allow me to advance professionally. I began to look for opportunities within my current situation and have found that my talents are being recognized. Different choices are being presented to me and I now find myself in a much happier place.
'Peaks and Valleys' is a little goldmine. Worth its weight in gold.
