If you want to be a great leader, if you want to be successful at what you do, then stop wishing that you were someplace else or with someone else. We can't always choose the cards we have been dealt, but we can learn to play them. You may not be where you want to be in life just yet. You may be working hard but your dream, your goal seems to be far from reachable. And I know first hand how tempting it is to sulk, give up, and yield to the temptation of mediocrity. But hold on- there are ways to grow at your work, regardless of where you are and what's happening around you.
