Way to quit!

Before we move on to the next part of the (backward-date-wise) trip, I want to share this email that I got today at work. This is an excellent, and very smart way to send notes to all those you work with before your departure...

LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY
by Jim Rohn
Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door.For example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?" The answer is, "No, you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, 'I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here long.'"You can be inspired by having found something; even though you are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you haven't learned before.

I have definitely loved the opportunity to work with you all at ___. However, I have made the difficult decision to leave ________ to pursue a career opportunity with another company. My last day with ________ will be Thursday, February 28th. It has been a pleasure working with all of you, and I am very thankful for the opportunities I have been given and the many things I have learned while working here. I wish you all the best on a professional and personal level.
