Life, much like a baseball game, presents us with wins and losses. I’ve often reflected on an old photograph on my desk – a faded image of a young, dejected baseball player sitting on first base after a game. It captures a moment of personal defeat, a lost Little League final, seemingly defined by a single error. Yet, my father’s words from that day resonate even more powerfully now: “Win or lose, there’s still work to do.” This simple pragmatism is a guiding principle not just in baseball, but in life and, crucially, in career development.
Just as Colorado recently welcomed a new cohort of dedicated individuals to its General Assembly – individuals committed to the essential work of governance – each of us is navigating our own path, seeking purpose and striving for success in our chosen fields. These newly elected officials, much like anyone embarking on a career journey, bring diverse backgrounds and experiences. They are our neighbors: former military officers, educators, social workers, and entrepreneurs. They step forward to contribute, to build, and to solve problems. And just as they utilize the tools of governance, each of us needs the right tools to navigate our career landscape effectively.
