Natalie’s Priorities for Success
P = Peter N = Natalie
P: Talking about being successful, Natalie, what would you say is the most important aspect of personal development
N: I believe becoming a better person is important. I think the next thing is to alway keep learning. A successful person never stops learning. After that, I would say it’s important to work well with others. So teamwork! Without it, nothing really gets done.
By working with others you develop a lot of key skills, cooperation, communication, building agreement and others.
P: So, what about the old idea of spending many hours in the office ... Is that unimportant now
N: Well, it is still important to work hard but now you can work everywhere and anywhere. In some companies, employees can work from home, or the park or anywhere they like. Working hard and being in the office are not the same thing.
Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.
