Bring on the Adventure! Read (or listen to) what Wendy Chamberlin, former U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, said to the Northwestern University graduating class of 2003. Chamberlin is a career member of the U.S. Foreign Service, and was serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan at the time of the September 11 terrorist attacks. She currently heads the Bureau for Asia and the Near East of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and is coordinating the agency's redevelopment efforts in Iraq.
Cultivate Empathy! Barack Obama, Senator from Illinois, addressed the
2006 graduating class at Northwestern University on June 19. In that talk, he cited lessons learned and challenged the new graduates to
cultivate empathy, challenge themselves, and persevere. These are lessons about which we can all be reminded.
Learn about Successful People : What is it that makes some people capable of reaching the pinnacle of success, while others, just as (or more) intelligent, remain middle managers throughout their careers? Why do some people take risks, while many are content to maintain safe, if not entirely satisfying, careers? This is the question Lucinda Watson, granddaughter of IBM icon Thomas J. Watson, Sr, and an academician, sets out to explore in her new book, How They Achieved: Stories of Personal Achievement and Business Success. While her findings are not necessarily a blueprint for success, they do provide a glimpse into characteristics that successful people share.
