Silver Linings

This week served as a potent reminder of how crazy I am to work full-time while attending school full-time. The second week of classes coincided with a large-scale restructure at work, which has demanded much of my attention and time. As such, my spare time has been worn thin and my stress levels have been running high. However, I believe that such experiences present opportunities to grow and progress. As evidence of this, the first chapter of the book (which is largely focused on management) resonated strongly with me and inspired  me to prepare a presentation for my team built on some of the principles I read about. It is often said that teaching is the best way to learn concepts, and I feel that as a leader in the workforce I am in the ideal position to immediately benefit from what I am learning in this class. Ultimately, I think that the most important thing is to maintain a positive attitude no matter what comes your way. There is a silver lining to every cloud. I think that despite how difficult this semester may be, the experience that I am poised to gain will far outweigh the stress that I endure in the process.
