BIG PICTURE

The Big Picture
Brief
Students and jobseekers, especially the new graduates, can land the
best job given the right information and the right chances.
However, being the Boss and working for a Boss demand time, effort
and commitment. Both instances require taking risks and
responsibilities. Working for a Boss, in particular, requires
submission to management control and being covered by terms and
conditions of employment.
Most often, choosing the right opportunity will spell the distinction
between success and failure. All these will boil down to choices.
8
As a reminder, life‟s choices will determine triumphs and
disappointments. This brings to mind the famous quote of the
author Harvey MacKay, “Find something you love to do and you‟ll
never have to work a day in your life”. It is only a matter of taking
the chances and working towards achieving the goals that will spell
a difference.
