NEVER GIVE UP!

I am not a football fan.  If I watch a football game on tv, it is by default, not by design.  You see, we have ONE television in our home and when sports is on I am often overruled.  So, to keep the peace, I join in.  However, this afternoon, as I watched the Seattle Seahawks play the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game I became a fan.  Not so much of football, but of the underdog.  The score was 16-0 at the half (Green Bay).  In the 4th quarter, the score was 19-14 (Green Bay) with only a little over 2 minutes left in the game.  Then the unthinkable happened...Seattle scored a TOUCHDOWN!  Now, the score is 19-20 (Seattle Seahawks) with 1 minute & 25 seconds left in the game.  Then the unbelievable happened...the Seattle Seahawks scored a 2-point conversion to give them a 3 point lead.  NEVER GIVE UP!  The announcers said the Seattle Seahawks scored 15 points in 44 seconds.  The Green Bay Packers were not ready to concede, though.  They answered with a field goal from 48 yards with 14 seconds to play.  NEVER GIVE UP!  Finally, the improbable happened when Russell Wilson hit Jermaine Kearse for a 35-yard touchdown 3 minutes and 19 seconds into overtime to win the game for the Seahawks.  The Seattle Seahawks beat the Green Bay Bay Packers in the NFC Championship.  NEVER GIVE UP!  I'll never forget one of my district managers' favorite inspirational words, "It's not how you start, but how you finish."  Those powerful words never rang more true than on today as I watched the Seattle Seahawks pull out an astonishing win against the Green Bay Packers to earn a coveted spot in Superbowl XLIX.






As you look to transition from pharmaceutical sales to another career or a more fulfilling job NEVER GIVE UP!  You won't always find the right job opportunity.  NEVER GIVE UP!  You won't always get a call when you submit your resume.  NEVER GIVE UP!  You won't always get a call back after the phone interview.  NEVER GIVE UP!  You won't always get an offer after the face-to-face interview.  NEVER GIVE UP!  Keep searching, keep applying,  and keep interviewing.  You have to stay in the game in order to win!

Until next time-
