Achievements are something that everyone should try to pursue. Does not matter what type of achievement it is, whether it's small or huge, as long as it makes a positive difference.
Over the past year, I can honestly say that there were some changes that I went through with this economy being tough. There were some small achievements that I accomplished along the way that made me feel that I could extend beyond my comfort zone. There are different ways that I have managed to think outside the box just to meet different business professionals that I never had the opportunity to meet before while constantly working.
For example, I had the opportunity to network more and not just within the Greater PC User's Group, I also became familiar with other groups such as the Northeast Ohio SPIN, Information Security Systems Association, and the Northeast Ohio Think Tank Group.
I've attended numerous webcasts, participated in all of these monthly events that focus on the future of the Information Technology World that seems to centralize around Virtualization and not just with one vendor. This is coming from different vendors.
Just on a side note, I started to notice a relative of mine's growing into a leaderhip role within this community as well. For the past several years, she made big accomplishments in this world with achieving her Gold Medals for the World Championships, then a Silver Medal at the 2010 World Olympics in the US Women's Ice Hockey Team. When a former manager of mine suggested that I get in front of as many people as I can, I never realized that it would be down at Progressive Field standing in line waiting for this cousin to start signing autographs.
Yes if you find yourself related to someone famous, be prepared to have a crowd surround you with questions about them. With 80 family and friends gathered on one side of the ballpark, it was very impressive to watch this young athlete throw her first pitch to the Mascot of the Cleveland Indians. I can honestly say, that the Indians could use her help right now.
Anyway, back to focusing on the future. Some people might say that we need to focus on the here and now, but we must be able to focus on what will unfold in the near future, otherwise, these other countries will start becoming more advanced than we are right at this moment.
There are some new things that I would like to focus on right now in order to think outside of the box once again. There is a need to step outside this comfort zone and more than one person needs to do this, otherwise, we could find ourselves behind the times.
