We should not preserve the past‚ we should look to the future. We are living in the modern era‚ where people are practical and realistic‚ optimistic that new inventions and discoveries will improve their lives. For most‚ it would be plain foolishness if one were to be so mindful about the past‚ when instead‚ one should invest his time and thought into building a better and more meaningful life in the future.

I find that most people are comforted by what they feel certain of‚ people like the fact that they know their place in life and have no urge to search further or take risks to find something different‚ something better.

“Discovering who we are and where we belong can be challenging” "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Ralph Waldo Emerson’s statement illustrates the difficulty of establish one’s true identity and sense of belonging.

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY WE WANT HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT TO BE MORE STRATEGIC? ID NUMBER: 84697126 November 26th‚ 2013 The word “strategic” sounds like it should be used for some type of board game. I guess from a far it could be looked at like a board game.
