Life Is a Marathon Not a Sprint
If you're in your 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, or beyond, and progressing in your
career, you may not realize that based on advances in medical science,
technology, and a greater understanding of diet and nutrition, you might
live 10, 20, or 30 years beyond what you currently presume.
Yes, many people will work well into their 70s, 80s, and 90s, staying productive and
useful, not merely teetering along. What's the use, though, of earning a nice
paycheck, or living until the age of 88, if each day races by and your to-do
list grows until you can't enjoy your life? Luckily, it is possible to stop
the days from racing by and to take back control of your time and your life.
With each passing day, it seems as if you are asked to work harder and
faster with less rest and fewer resources. Paradoxically, today's young
professionals, on average, will live longer than any previous generation in
the history of the Earth. For those in the know, life truly is a marathon,
not a sprint.
In Life Is a Marathon Not a Sprint, you'll be treated to 101 tips, each
providing you with the essential wisdom and insights that will enable you to
continue to take a big-picture look at the direction of your career and your
life. The prospect of octogenarians as healthy, vibrant beings in leadership
positions (much like the people of 40, 50, and 60 years today) looms in the near
future. As such, it is time for you to adopt a new mindset: life is indeed a
marathon, not a sprint.
