marketplace, the products change as fast as the tool. This is also true in education where learning theories come down the pike faster than you can catch them sometimes. We need defining statement, a rule to help us keep learning, growing, innovating the way we find solutions at work. Don't get anxious or frustrated, recite the mantra: "Just be great at what you do." If you focus on how much change you are forced to make, you'll lose your edge. On the other hand, if youe simply focus on being great, the changes in the marketplace will be seen as tools rather than hindrances or "chores." After all, change is supposed to make us better and our lives easier. Unfortunately it isn't always seen that way. If you heard there was a way to do what you easier and more productively wouldn't you do it? So it is with technology and new thought in the 2000's. Don't fear the changes, look at it as a set of tools to make you greater.

In conclusion, everyone in their heart wants to be successful. Unfortunately there are a host of forces working all the times against our success. I have addressed only three in this post.

This will make their gossip evaporate and they will respect you above those who don't have vision. Last, you need to be ab innovator in today's workplace, there is simply no room for followers anymore. As you see your greatness as the goal, the changes in the workplace will become your tools instead of your stumbling block, like they are for so many. You can be great at what you do, but even if you don't, many work trobles can be quelled by internalizing the mantra:

"Just be great at what you do."
