Holding On To The Basic Practices
Most of us are facing an upheaval in our professional fronts, and have drastic changes in our routines. The order may change, but the basic practices should remain the same.
Work may be erratic, and there may be good and bad days, but one has to hold on to the basic practices.

Work Hard, But Not for Recognition
Work for the love of the work itself, not for credit of recognition.
Your work should be something that you would like to do for free, and if you take your ego out of the equation ...
Starting Off In A New Field
A few things to keep in mind when starting work in a new field:
- We may not be as great or important as we think.
- We may need an attitude readjustment.
- Most of our knowledge, which may be spanning decades, is now obsolete, and we may need to unlearn it.
Cultivating the Right Relationships
Like a sponge, attach yourself to the people from whom you can learn and subsume your entire identity, ego, and any desire to pursue your own glory.
This gradually helps us learn new ways to solve problems, develop a good reputation and build lasting relationships.

The Powerful Man
A person of authority, power, fame and public standing is robbed of choices. He cannot explore, drift or reinvent himself. His dependence on others and responsibilities stop him from learning and growing, and his life is robbed of any self-discovery.
The powerful man is focused on survival and is a distrusting, fearful man, existing in a golden cage.
Success Is Autonomy
Real autonomy is the freedom to do what you want to do from the movement you get up in the morning until the time you go to bed. It is the freedom to think, to invest, to have an opinion, to spend time on an activity that we want to, and being able to redefine what success means, in our own terms.
An individual who is free to be, and is not tied to rules, obligations, people, followers, free from constraints, is truly rich and successful.
