I just spent an hour with some staff talking about what I call the Path to Promotion – the presentation I’ve developed on helping people excel at their current jobs and working towards a position into the future. One of the staff people was eating her lunch while we were having the meeting. Her lunch came from Panda Express.

As we concluded I asked her to open up one of her fortune cookies and read the fortune. This is what it said.

Perfect.

If you are working on a better future for yourself, be preparing now. Always look ahead to be ready for that opportunity.
