Making a Life or Making a Living?

Gill Corkindale has posted a provocative article on Harvard Business Online to which I call your attention.  The first paragraph of which is:

"Why am I doing this job? Why am I working for this company? How did I end up here? What’s it all about? Is there something else I should be doing with my life?"

Over the last several months I've been trying to help some of my students (and maybe myself) deal with questions like these.   The difficult part is not asking the questions, but in dealing with the truths revealed by the questions.

So take out a piece of paper, read the article, think, answer, and decide what to do next.
