Herewith, three “gifts” one 40-something would give a 20-something as their “Forty-Godmother”. What are yours?
1.
To look at every decade as a chance to reinvent yourself. Life is a jigsaw puzzle. I don’t know what it is or where it will finish but there is always another piece to complete the puzzle. If you don’t seek it out, you won’t find it.
2.
A job offer overseas. If you get a chance to work overseas — grab it. There is a whole world out there. Living and working in Hong Kong was my real MBA.
3.
Action. If you have an idea – and an indication it has traction – make it happen. If you’re not doing it, someone else is.
