I think that Earl Shoaff's advice is incredible. In order to be better people in the work place, we need to better ourselves and our people. Our own personal growth is important, because without it, we might not know how to handle certain situations.

I really want to go far in the fashion industry, but my biggest fear is not being marketable enough and not being able to accomplish what I really want to. I'm really passionate about body diversity and body positivity, though I know the fashion industry is not very welcoming to anyone who isn't tall and skinny. I want to design clothes that are flattering on all body types. I'm just afraid that the industry will shut out my ideas because of the strict beauty standards that are ingrained in our society.
I have always been afraid of getting locked into a career that I might end up not liking. Though I enjoy fashion design now, what if I grow out of it? Or what if I can't make a name for myself? It's reassuring to know that it's never too late to change your mind. I also feel guilty for spending lots of time thinking about careers and not actually looking into them, so again, it's nice to know that my behavior is okay! My parents don't want me to work full time because they don't want work to effect my grades, so I'm glad that the list mentioned not letting work get in the way of school. This entire list really helped to quell any fears that I had about my future.Scott Eblin's blog really seemed to strike me. Unlike a lot of the other blogs I looked through, his was easier to read and made more sense to me. One of his posts that really stuck me was Your Weekly Perspective Check. Even if things seem like they are bad, you just have to step back and admire all of the things that are currently going right. Admire the good things in life, even if work or school is hectic. Instead of letting yourself burn out, you need to let yourself live a little. Though work and working is important, so is living your life. Laugh every day and take time for yourself. Pick projects that are good for you. To prevent burning out, being a little selfish is okay! |
