George Ruth's Job hunting lesson for YOU

In his time, George “Babe” Ruth was one of the greatest and one of the worst ballplayers in the USA.  Sure, he held the record for most home runs -- many people remember pictures of him standing alongside home plate watching yet another shot fly over the outfield wall.

There are also pictures of Babe walking back to the dugout after just striking out... again.  You see the “Sultan of Swat” was the greatest striker-outer of his era, too. 

Think about that for a moment.  The Babe could have walked around with a mental picture of himself booming homers and had great confidence every time he played.  He could also have pictured himself and the hundreds of times he would walk sadly, slinking back to the dugout after 'striking out, again.  It is all just a matter of perspective.

In job hunting you are facing some of the things the Babe felt.   Throughout the hunt you have faced disappointment and you have enjoyed some levels of success (hey, you knew enough to get this book, right?)

It is all up to you and how you look at yourself in the mirror. Remembering your home runs is a whole lot more fun, more satisfying and gives you more energy than dragging your feet and keeping the picture in your mind of striking out again.  When meeting an employer, picture yourself cracking a home run.   It'll show in your stride.

Tom Edison, inventor of the incandescent light bulb, tried & failed over 2000 times to put together what later was one of history's greatest inventions.  Asked what he learned from months and months lost time and failures, he said ”I learned 2000 ways not to make a light bulb.”  It's all about perspective.

Making It Work:

Take a moment and draw two pictures of yourself.  In the first draw a picture showing you doing something you have accomplished (learned, did, and met an important responsibility).  Now write a caption describing the picture and what you are thinking at the time. 

Under the other draw a picture of you accomplishing something you want to be doing someday.  Now write a caption about how you are feeling about doing that someday soon. 

Hey, HAVE SOME FUN & draw the pictures. It’s OK to erase and rewrite, but please have some fun.  Make them things you will enjoy remembering in the days ahead when you hit home runs and make the occasional strike out. 

Remember that your life is an unfinished 'picture' with many miles to go and lessons to learn.
