When
nurses graduate from nursing school, unbeknownst to them, they are standing at
a crosswalk. Some nurses will go left and some will go right. This decision
will determine how successful, happy and satisfied they are with their decision
to become a nurse. This decision will determine if they will become successful and thrive or unsuccessful and burn out.
Which way will you go?
I
study human behavior – in particular, successful people. I just love to read
about how someone who was locked in a closet for the first 4 years of his life
and fed dog food, grew up to be a world humanitarian while someone else who was
provided all of the luxuries known to man become a drug dealer or psycho
killer! Human behavior fascinates me.
Out
of the 2,000 + books and articles I’ve read about successful humans, one common
characteristic exists. It’s this characteristic that faces you at the
crossroad…it’s this characteristic that determines how successful you become.
