Say "I don't know!"
Has anyone asked you "what are you going to do with the rest of your life?" How did you answer? Many are embarrassed when they answer with "I don't know."

The future of work depends on how we level up the connections between the traditional “tasks and responsibilities” with the priorities to a desirable quality of life. A balanced communication for community sustainability and business certainty, must start early in career education development with values before skill, and mission before position.
