Life is a Highway

Imagine a busy highway full of cars, each trying to reach their destination quickly. This highway is like a career path – it has lanes and exits leading to different places.

For newcomers in the workforce, their career journey begins in the right lane. They feel a bit nervous, unsure of how to navigate their way through, so they stick to the designated speed limit. But with time and experience, they gain confidence and start passing others who are still in the same lane.

The middle lanes are for those who have been on the road for a while. They're comfortable and confident in their skills. They plan their exit strategy, knowing that it is important to take the right turn at the right time. But they also need to be aware of their surroundings - avoiding sudden lane changes and being gracious to others on the road.

And finally, there's the left lane - the lane for the experienced drivers who know the road so well that they don't even have to think about it. They're keeping the traffic flow going, glancing in their rearview mirror from time to time to ensure other drivers are aware of them.

But the thing is, every lane on the highway serves a purpose. And the journey's success depends on the decisions made by the people behind the wheel.

Often, companies focus on hiring only experienced drivers, neglecting the fact that the right lane is where the growth opportunities exist. Hiring entry-level and junior talent can be beneficial for both parties. They bring fresh ideas and a thirst for learning while keeping the road flow moving. So let's not overlook the importance of the starting lane – because it's where the journey begins.
