So, I was thinking about all the picks one either "has" to or "gets" to make in life. As I was busily working on a project over the weekend, I heard my son and his buddy talking about their Fantasy Football "picks." They spent several hours discussing the pros and cons of this player and that player and finally, it began to drive me a little nuts after listening to what I thought was the same conversation repeated 20 times. I mean, after all, make a pick and be done with it already! :)
Over the holiday, some of the family wanted to see Avatar and some wanted to see Up in the Air. As a team, we couldn't agree upon the same movie, so we each had to pick which one we wanted to see at the 1:15 show time. Picks. Make your pick.
The "make your pick" process applies to many things in life, including job and career choices. While you could train to be an auto mechanic by day and a lawyer by night (at some schools), many of us find ourselves needing to make a vocational "pick" sooner or later...you know, cut down the territory, whittle the choices, narrow the selection pool, and make a pros and cons spreadsheet of your "top picks." And sometimes, your pick proves to be an outstanding choice that delivers exactly what you had hoped for and expected. Other times, perhaps others will tell you that your pick "sucks" as my son and his buddy suggested about their individual Fantasy Football picks. In the end (and in the beginning), the final pick is up to you, and you alone.
May all of your picks in 2010 be the very best ones for you!
Happy New Year to All!
