If you always do your best, you can be proud of all that happens each day. Good or bad, you should not be reduced by any of it.
· Always do your best
· And you’ll have no regrets.
· Some may approve or some may not,
· But you should be proud of your efforts.
Like every other HR professional I know, our days are filled with having to make countless decisions. And every one of them affects someone – usually, one person is satisfied with a particular decision and more than one are not. That’s just the nature of the job. In fact, it’s the nature of the job of most professionals. Each of us knows that any of our decisions have the potential for dissent, but if we do our best with each there’s no reason to second guess ourselves. To be honest, I never liked it when it when someone tried to second guess me without having or knowing all the facts – I guess that’s natural. But I learned to listen because there was always a chance to learn from other’s perspectives. And when I did make a mistake, I learned to quickly admit it and move on, letting that be a learning experience rather than a moment of doubt. We’re all human and that’s a good thing to remember today.
Maya Angelou (1928-2014): American Poet, dancer, producer, playwright, director, and author.
