Do you know what do you want to accomplish in your career in 2013? Whether you call them New Year’s resolutions or just things you want to accomplish, I suggest you use this last week of this year to set your goals for next year. Is it to learn interesting new things? Finally deciding to go for that promotion? Or perhaps it is to find happiness in your work again (or maybe for the first time?) These quotes are sure to inspire you whatever occupational calling you decide to tackle in the New Year.
