Choose Your Hard
Keeping on is hard. But quitting is hard too. That’s the part no one really tells you. There will be mornings when showing up to your desk feels heavy. The inbox is full. The numbers don’t tie out. The project you thought would be simple turns into layers of details you didn’t anticipate. Staying disciplined is hard. Double-checking your work is hard. Owning mistakes is hard. Growing is hard.

Patience and Teamwork
Patience is one of the hardest skills to master, yet it is also such an important skill as well. Maybe it is because I am still young and eager to get my life going, but patience is something that I have always had to work extremely hard to have.

Gratitude
It is easy to get lost in time and mindlessly run through the motions of a daily routine just trying to make it to the next day. In doing this we often lose focus on everything we are grateful for.

Overall, when training someone who has been in the field longer, make sure to focus on what you do know, be open minded while sharing, and collaborate instead of micromanaging. This will create a smooth transition for the candidate and you.
