#5 Focus on the Journey.

Life is a journey of experiences with destinations or goals as stopping points along the way. Career building requires attention to goals and to all that occurs on the journey toward these goals. As your teens continue their career journeys, they may revise their original goals, or achieve them and set new goals.
