  • Just my own opinion, developed through my own lived experiences. I, consciously, chose to not specialize too deep into one field and instead developed a more broad set of skills. The recent research is starting to validate my decisions back then. As it turns out, college grads with multiple minors, rather than graduates with a traditional major trajectory, tend to be better suited to the work environments.

    Where knowledge of a range of disciplines helps inform a more holistic approach to creative problem solving. “Wicked problems” are often tackled and solved by systems thinking generalists because they draw on a wide range of experiences across multiple disciplines, departments, and sets of knowledge.

  • This brand of positivity you’re embodying is the most infectious one, and if I can feel it in your writing I imagine hearing it spoken from you would be some next level inspiration.

    I’ve lost some people close to me over the years and what saddens me most is how I’ve forgotten so much about them beyond what they looked like. All of them except one…Gordon left behind audio recordings as his last messages to each of us in the group of friends.

    Every time I hear his voice, it brings back so much about him that just can’t be said. His cadence, intonation, and overall manner of speaking have helped keep an entire person in my memory.

    I wonder if that’s an option for you. I can say from experience that the lasting impact of audio is…powerful. Being able to actually hear my friend…i can imagine him speaking to me, and it’s in his voice because his voice is not forgotten.

    Your family hearing your thoughts, in your voice…and being able to hear you speak long after your time…man, I can’t think of a better way to highlight your true personality and make it a lasting one.
