  Take the Leap. Figure It Out Along the Way. You don't always need to know exactly where something will lead before deciding it's worth taking the first step.

Careers are often described as though they’re built individually. Your goals. Your work ethic. Your talent. Your decisions. Your results. And all of those things matter. But there’s another variable that can quietly change the direction of your entire career: the people around you. The person who gives you advice before you make an avoidable mistake. The leader who sees potential in you before you fully see it yourself. The coworker who raises your standard simply because of how seriously they take their own. The person who reminds you to be patient when you’re comparing your progress to everyone else’s. The person who looks out for you.
