Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. Albert Camus, 1913 – 1960
As you have heard me say, I am one lucky person. Later this month, I head to a back country hut at 11,000 feet above sea level surrounded by peaks to ski in grand rocky mountain powder. While today I get to wrap my head around a computer configuration puzzle in a conference call with people that come much closer to my definition of a rocket scientist than I ever will.
I love to be around people who relish life. I know there are tough times we all go through whether it’s economic or family or loss or bad luck. But there is so much to savor in our time here on this earth. To do the dance with it all, to me, is just such an incredible opportunity.
My goal is our workplace responds to this as well. We come to work not just because “it’s a job”, but because there is a purpose. To explore, to learn, to interact with each other here within the office and with our clients and to derive joy from as much as this as we can.
Payroll could be seen as a world inhabited by geeks, but it’s not – at least not here. I am surrounded by people who have a gusto for life, who are bright and who believe in our purpose, and are delight to be around.
I am one lucky person.
