"My mother always told me to be true to myself. I took this to mean that I have lots of choices. You make choices every day, in what you do and in what you say. I encourage you to weigh your choices carefully when selecting your career. Make sure it is something you really want to do. It should be something you'll have fun doing. At the end of the day you will know if you have made the right choice if you can look back and smile and say I have made a difference. Whether is is at work, in the community or in the world, a single person can have an impact. With technology bringing so many new products, there are lots of opportunities in careers. Use your head and your heart to make the choice that suits you best.

I have a contract with myself that I hang on my office wall. It says, 'I am a committed empowering leader who will make the difference in the world.' I hope that you, reading this, will help me to make that difference."
