I just visited my old stomping ground, Hiram College. Myself and some other Hiram alumni went to watch the Men's soccer team play their first night game. Yes, Hiram College only had day games when I played there 18 years ago. Now with the addition of lights, they will be able to play and practice anytime. Moreover, what really struck me was the changes that Hiram College has made over the past 18 years since I was gone. New dining hall, new athletic facility and finally new living spaces. All of these changes reminded me of class that I had with a History professor at Hiram. He mentioned to the class that "the only thing permanent was change". At that time, I really didn't pay too much attention to that saying and was trying to keep up with all the reading that he had assigned to us. So what exactly is my point in mentioning this?
Well, it got me thinking about my journeys both professionally and personally. Change can be both positive and negative. For example, one positive change that has occurred personally for me has been this triathlon experience. Since following a training program in November of 2009, I have returned back to my college weight and have made healthier choices. On the professional side of things, I have been very fortunate to work with a great staff at Maxim and have great contractors in the field. Another positive change that has occurred has been our development of our software for our business. This software has created transparency in how we do business and has also allowed us to be more productive and efficient in delivering results to our clients.
As we move forward in our business, I look forward to the changes and challenges that lie ahead.
Happy Labor Day!
