This book was not written to tell you how to work
The final chapter of Work Identity: do not only build a career; let your journey, choices and values form your Work Identity.
This book was not written to tell you how to work
This book…
was not written to tell you
how you should work.
It was written as an invitation to look back
It was written to invite you
to look back at your own journey.
And ask what will remain
And to ask…
what will remain
- after all the projects,
- the designs,
- the lines of code,
- the meetings,
- and the years that have passed.
Work Identity is not something you create
Perhaps…
Work Identity is not something you create.
It has always existed.
It lives in every choice and every piece of work
- In every choice.
- In every piece of work.
- In the way you treat other people.
- In the things you continue to pursue.
Forwork is only a small effort
Forwork…
is only a small effort to keep those traces from being lost to time.
Let your journey speak for you
So that one day, when someone asks:
“Who are you?”
You do not need to explain yourself. You only need to let your journey speak.
Do not only build a career
—
Do not only build a career.
Build Work Identity.
