The Best Milestones to Celebrate at Work
The Best Milestones to Celebrate at WorkThe Best Milestones to Celebrate at WorkUntil now you may have put all your stock in career milestones that were defined by bosses and performance evaluations or balanced scorecards. Forget about that for a moment and start to think about the best milestones to celebrate at work.These are not great milestones but instead a collection of all the small milestones that we must collect throughout our career (which eventually give us the power to achieve great milestones).1. Receiving praise for the first timeThe first time you receive praise from a customer or client for a job well done is one of the best feelings in the world. This is not the typical praise of someone saying, Thank you but instead the praise that comes with a customer going out of their way to show appreciation.For example, if a client you helped throughout the year and almost forgot about, suddenly mails you a bottle of champagne around Christmas time with a thank you note. Being remembered for your service and praised for your hard work feels amazing, no matter what your career level is.2. The first time you create and execute a 30-day goalIt is easy to take any job to get paid to do something. But when you get to a management position and must make plans, platzdeckchen goals, and measure success, things become a little tricky. You now have to manage people, tasks, time, metrics etc. The skill of executing plans and reaching goals does not come naturally.So, the first time you do it...you need to celebrate. This is a type of milestone you will need to repeat hundreds of times throughout your career.3. Speaking up about what you knowThe first time you speak up at work feels like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. It is not easy to be someone who speaks up. Some will tell you to shut up. Some will call you a know-it-all. Some will call you arrogant. Others will think you are speaking out of place. And a small, important fraction of the people will see why speaking up was a helpful, wise decision.This is a milestone because you discover the accountability of claiming to know something. People will always challenge you if you speak up about something. But learning how to do it is an important milestone on the path to becoming a leader.4. When you are asked for adviceIn life, you are pretty much told what to do until you get old enough to live and work on your own. It seems like the first quarter of your life is all about people giving you advice.So, on that day when people come to you at work and ask for advice, it is a milestone that lets you know, I know enough to help someone do something. It is a great feeling, especially when the person who asks you for advice is completely lost and you just saved him or her from a disaster.We all like to feel important for what we know and being asked for advice is a validation of our belief system, I know more than most people give me credit for.5. The first time you solve a harte n uss with emotional intelligenceNot all problems at work have to do with work. People have feelings and personalities that can conflict with other colleagues and prevent tasks from being completed.But when you reach the milestone when you solve such a problem with emotional intelligence, it certainly feels like you have crossed over into new career territory. You discover there is a new skill you can use on the job and in your personal life. After reaching this milestone, the ability to manage teams and people seems 100 times easier.In todays working world, there is a greater demand for emotional intelligence. We live in a time when everyone wants their feelings considered and it is very easy to offend someone. Having the ability to solve problems with EQ makes a person a valuable asset to a company.6. Learning how to work smarter not harderThis is a huge milestone that goes unseen by most. Basically, this is a milestone where you find yourself getting things done quickly, effectivel y, and with less energy or time spent. Being able to work smarter means knowing what not to waste time on. It means you know how to stay productive and you do not break a sweat in the process.Typically, those who work smarter are liberated from working harder by learning about technology and all the tools out there invented to make work a bit easier. This requires education and staying up to date on changing trends in the workplace used to save time and increase productivity.7. The first time you are assertive...and it works in your favorIf you dislike confrontation or hate telling people what to do, the first time you are assertive in the workplace may feel like you just climbed Mount Everest in your bare feet.Some people have an easy time being assertive and most of the time, yes, these people are dismissed as being jerks. So, if you are at work and you see something bad is about to happen, but you know the only way to stop it is by being assertive...and you do it...this is an alm ost unforgettable, life-changing experience.For example, true storyA business analyst is helping with a Securities Exchange Commission audit on Wall Street and finds a technical issue with a company software that is affecting befolgung with a state law. If he keeps quiet, no big deal. He did not build the software. He would not get blamed. But instead, he tells the vice president and operations director about it and to his dismay...they tell him, It is not your job to worry about this.So, he contacts the quality assurance team and asserts that he knows this is a serious problem and it will affect audits. Finally, someone listens to him And as it turns out, the QA team would have been blamed for the compliance issue during the audit, so they fix the issue immediately.The audit results come back and the office scores 100%. The QA team thanks the vice president and operations director for having the business analyst bring it to their attention. Word gets around as to what really happen ed. Within a year, that business analyst is promoted to operations director of another office.Being assertive with principle is progress. Being assertive without a cause just creates chaos.8. The first time you speak in publicIf you plan to be the next Jeff Bezos, you had better get this milestone out of the way quickly. One day, people will want to hear about how you achieved your goals and grew your company.Speaking in front of others is not always easy but when you learn the art of public speaking to show you are a leader, you have definitely reached a milestone that will help you forever.The ability to speak in public without fear is a skill the most famous leaders of all time possess or possessed. The demand for this skill has grown over the years. It seems like we all have to learn how to be our own political representatives in a global economy

3 ways to stay calm under pressure, according to a bomb disposal expert
3 ways to stay calm under pressure, according to a bomb disposal expert 3 ways to stay calm under pressure, according to a bomb disposal expert Weâd all like to know how to stay calm under pressure. Sure, I could pull a bunch of research studies on it and just summarize those for you. But that always leaves the lingering question: âBut does this stuff work in the real world?âSo who really knows about being cool as a cucumber under the most intense pressure imaginable? Iâd read that when top bomb disposal experts approach a device designed to kill them, their heart rate actually goes down. Folks, I think we have a winnerâ¦So I called a Navy EOD Team Leader.Navy EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) isnât like your average police departmentâs bomb disposal unit. These guys defuse torpedoes - while underwater. They disable biological weapons, chemical weapons⦠even nuclear weapons.For security purposes our friend requested to remain anonymous. Heâs been deployed in both Iraq and Afghanistan and faced some things that are - quite literally - the stuff of nightmares. Repeatedly.So what can you and I le arn from him? How do you stay chill, keep your focus and make tough decisions when facing the most intense pressure imaginable?Letâs get to it . . .Avoid âthe rabbit holeâ and do a threat assessmentSomethingâs going wrong. Youâre worried and your mind starts to race. Your old friend Panic is nuzzling up to you and wants to snuggle. Your brain starts asking, âWhat if X happens? What if Y happens? What if? What if? What if?âNavy EOD techs refer to this as âthe rabbit hole.â And if you go down it, things are going to get very bad very fast. Hereâs our EOD Team Leader:With any device thatâs improvised we talk about ârabbit holes.â You can go down the rabbit hole of âWhat if they put in this? What if they included this bit of circuitry or this kind of switch or this crazy new device or circuit board or whatever?â The opportunities for people to construct new and ingenious and totally insidious IEDs is just infinite. Itâs possible when youâre looking a t the device to go down a rabbit hole of âIt could be this, it could be this, it could be these 10,000 different thingsâ¦âYou need to avoid going down the ârabbit holeâ and do what Navy EOD techs call a âthreat assessment.â That means looking objectively at the situation and asking, âWhat kind of problem is this?âThink about a similar situation youâve been in before that looked like this one. How did you resolve it? What worked? Maybe youâve never been in a situation exactly like the current one, but thatâs okay. Generalize. Youâve probably dealt with something that was kinda similar or youâve seen someone else do it.Leveraging experience is what makes the top Navy EODs able to stay calm and size up a terrifying situation before theyâve even approached the explosive device. Hereâs our EOD Team Leader:They develop this sixth sense about whatâs going on. Some of the guys had seen and prosecuted 300 or 400 devices. It was amazing what they co uld tell you before they ever saw the device. âThis device is probably just a pressure plate, maybe with an S and A switch. Thereâs a possible secondary back-up waiting for us if we were to go at it from this angle.â They would just be able to tell that from merely looking at the situation.Leveraging your prior experience (or the experiences of others) is what allows you to wrap your brain around a very frightening scenario and see it as just another version of a problem youâve solved before. And that allows you to keep moving forward when youâre scared.(To learn a Navy SEALâs secrets to developing grit, click here.)Alright, you dodged the rabbit hole and youâve done a threat assessment. But what mindset do you need to stay calm and focused before you act on this problem - or before you cut that red wire?Emphasize the positive and focus on what you can controlOur EODâs superior officer once told him a story about trying to defuse a mine while underwater - and r ealizing that he had become trapped, unable to move his hands or feet. What was the next thought that went through the chiefâs head?âIâm still breathing, so thatâs good. Now what else do I have thatâs going for me?âThatâs what you call âlooking on the bright side.â Steven Southwick and Dennis Charney studied resilient people for over 20 years. They interviewed Vietnam prisoners of war, Special Forces instructors and civilians who dealt with terrible experiences like medical problems, abuse and trauma. And what was one of the things that kept all of these survivors going? Optimism.By starting with the good, but staying realistic about the facts of the situation, our EODâs superior was able to stay calm and focus on what he was able to control and start taking steps toward resolving the situation. Our EOD friend explains:Heâs like, âIf you can wiggle your fingers, the line thatâs wrapped around you or whatever situation youâre in, if you can do one lit tle thing to make it a little bit better, then do that. If you can do another thing and then another thing, and then you can have cascading positivity as opposed to spiraling negativity.â You get to know the technical parameters of whatever job youâre doing and then you go, âIs this really an emergency? Yeah, but itâs really only an emergency if I canât find a solution. What is my next step to make this situation just slightly better?âAgain: He was underwater, unable to move his hands or feet, and was next to an explosive device. But he didnât see it as an emergency.It was only an emergency if he couldnât find a solution. Sound crazy?Youâre moving at 65 miles an hour toward a concrete wall. Scary? If that concrete wall is a natural bend in the highway and you can just turn the steering wheel of your car gently to the left, you wouldnât be frightened. In fact, you probably do it all the time without thinking about it. Not an emergency.Life and death stakes donâ t faze you if youâre optimistic and feel you have some control.(To learn how Navy SEALs and Olympians increase mental toughness, click here.)So now itâs time to act. You need to get in there and solve the problem at hand. How do you keep your cool and stay focused when youâre in the thick of it?The secret to calm and focus is knowing the next stepWeâre all scared of the unknown. Because then your brain turns to speculating. To worrying. And that takes you down the rabbit hole. The secret to calm and focus is simply deciding what you need to do next. That prevents the gap from opening up where the speculation and worrying grows. Hereâs our EOD Team Leader:When you have something to concentrate on, your mind can remain focused no matter whatâs happening. If there is some kind of device and you need to do something and youâre clearly in a hazardous situation, you knew what the next step was. If you were sitting there and had no idea what to do, that would be really terrifying. When you have the next step in your mind, then thatâs what you focus on.Maybe whatâs next is just a baby step. Thatâll do. Maybe you are so out of your depth that the next step is âask for help.â Thatâs actually a good one. You donât need to fix everything in one fell swoop. You just need to know your next step and you can keep it together.Now when you consider your next step, you want to think technically and specifically to resist panic. And be grateful you donât have to face situations like our friend did - when youâre 130 feet underwater and your breathing equipment fails:My dive rig was having a primary electronics assembly failure, meaning it was no longer actually providing me the oxygen that I needed to live. By definition this is an emergency, but when you know the way that system works, when you know that thereâs the manual override, that you can provide yourself oxygen and you can actually manually drive the rig, then I know what I ne ed to do to get myself out of this situation. When you think about it in those terms, which is to get away from the label of what this situation is and then get into what is technically going on here, then itâs a lot easier. Then you donât get focused on the fear. You get focused on âWhatâs my next step?âThe ancient Stoics avoided negative emotions by focusing on process, not outcomes. And thatâs what you want to do. Focus on your next step, and then the next step, and then the nextâ¦I know what some people are thinking: âBut what if I donât know my next step? How do I get my calm back if I lose it?âOur EOD friend has been there. And heâs been there with a bomb in front of him:The only time I ever really felt crippling fear was the moment that I lost sight of what my next step was. We were in a situation where there was a device and it was way more dangerous than what we expected. I had not done a good job because I had not prepared myself for the worst case scenario. For the first time as an officer, I was like, âI donât know what to do.â I was scared for my team. I was scared for myself.What should you do when youâre lost for a next step and your brain is filled with anxious thoughts? Thereâs an answer - one that Buddhist monks and PhD neuroscientists would agree on:Just consider those racing thoughts in your head and ask yourself, âAre they helpful?â And then make a decision.When I spoke to leading mindfulness expert Joseph Goldstein about how to deal with troublesome thoughts he said:This thought which has arisen, is it helpful? Is it serving me or others in some way or is it not? Is it just playing out perhaps old conditions of fear or judgment or things that are not very helpful for ourselves or others?And guess what our bomb disposal buddy did to resolve the situation? Heâs no mindfulness expert - but he knows what works when panic sets in. See if what our EOD Team Leader told me sounds familiar:Then I th ought, âThis is not helpful. None of this is helpful. What do I do now?â Then I thought, âThis is what needs to happen. We need to make this radio call. The guys down range need to be conducting this action. We need to push this group here. We need to move this group.â Then all of a sudden, youâre back into your rational thought and away from any kind of selfish fear.He asked if the thoughts were helpful. They werenât. And so, to the best of his ability, he just made a decision on what his next step would be. And neuroscience research shows that making decisions reduces worry and anxiety - as well as helping you solve problems.Via The Upward Spiral:Making decisions includes creating intentions and setting goals - all three are part of the same neural circuitry and engage the prefrontal cortex in a positive way, reducing worry and anxiety. Making decisions also helps overcome striatum activity, which usually pulls you toward negative impulses and routines. Finally, making decisions changes your perception of the world - finding solutions to your problems and calming the limbic system.(To learn the four rituals neuroscience says can make your brain happy, click here.)Your problems have been defused. Weâve learned a lot. Letâs round it up and learn one last secret from our EOD friend that can help you be ready for challenges before they ever occurâ¦Sum upHereâs what you need to know about how to be calm under pressure, from a Navy bomb disposal expert: Avoid âThe Rabbit Holeâ And Do A Threat Assessment: Ignore the âWhat if?â questions. Whatâs a similar problem youâve dealt with? Leverage prior experience to calmly size up challenges. Emphasize The Positive And Focus On What You Can Control: Take a second to think about just how dangerous driving a car actually is. But it doesnât faze you. A feeling of control makes all the difference. The Secret To Calm And Focus Is Knowing The Next Step: Ignore thoughts that arenât helpful. Make a decision. Focus on the next step and you wonât panic. Thereâs a saying about bomb disposal:EOD is the science of vague assumptions based on debatable data taken from inconclusive experiments with instruments of problematic accuracy by persons of questionable mentality.Cute, huh? Itâs an uncertain job with the highest of stakes. But it must be done. And so the people that do it canât sleepwalk through their job.

Are You Adding as Much Value as You Think
Are You Adding as Much Value as You Think Are You Adding as Much Value as You Think Do you ever find yourself wishing your employer was more willing to invest in you? In 2014, a Tinypulse employee engagement report showed that only 21% of employees feel strongly valued at work. Typically, your personal opinion of your value at work is comprised of two components: Income Recognition Although employers seem to be behind the 8-ball when it comes to recognizing performance, it has been becoming more of a focus of many companies in recent years. End all the finger pointing As an employee, itâs easy to point the finger at your employer and say, âThey just donât get it.â What you donât want to admit is that they are often justified in saying the same thing about you. I speak with business owners quite frequently about the challenges they have managing Millennials in the workforce. And before you think Iâm picking on all Millennials, I have written several articles criticizing leaders for blaming this younger generation for all of their problems. Leaders certainly have to look inward in order to manage employees who may see the world differently than they do. Good leaders adapt to remain effective. But in this article, Iâm going to need to give you, and all Millennials, some tough love. Business owners share frustrations The business owners I spoke with shared a few frustrations that I felt were relevant. First and foremost: Their employees have made it very clear that Millennials aspire for advancement. They want raises and better titles quicker than ever before, and they are pretty good at making those desires known. But the bold behavior is not enough I commend Millennials for being bold. They have been told from the very beginning, âIf you want something, you have to go and get it.â Itâs a very important piece of the puzzle. But theyâre missing the most important piece of the puzzle. Everyone needs to earnthat additional title or additional pay. Showing up, sometimes on time, doing your job, and ensuring youâre the first one out of the office at the end of the day is not a recipe for a raise or a promotion. Simply existing and breathing company air does not earn you more money or recognition. Recognition and raises are reserved for those who do something special and increase their value to the company. Here is a common costly mindset Your employers need to see that you can handle more than an entry-level job if you want to advance. And many of them offer opportunities to take on an additional responsibility such as: Serve on a committee in the company. Head up a new initiative/project outside of your scope. The problem is that instead of seeing additional responsibilities as an opportunity, many reject the idea of doing more for an employer without being compensated immediately for it. If youâre doing extra work, youâre damn well going to get paid for it, right? Think again. Those of you with that mindset are costing yourselves far more than what you would gain in the short-term. What a fantastic opportunity to add value. Thatâs the key! Add value. Avoid unrealistic expectations If you continue to do the bare minimum inside your contained job description, why should the employer offer an opportunity to advance? Why should he or she pay you more? I have bad news for you. They shouldnât. In fact, youâre lucky if you get a raise at all. Stop basing your efforts on the expectation of a short-term payoff. If you take on extra responsibility at your company, the worst-case scenario is that it goes unnoticed, unappreciated, and uncompensated. But in this unlikely instance, you now have the excellent experience to add to your resume that will help you get a job with a company who appreciates employees that go the extra mile. Whether it pays off at your current company or the next one, it will pay off! Hereâs an idea for you If youâre currently feeling undervalued, go to your supervisor and request more responsibilities. Make it clear that you are doing this to show your capabilities to handle new challenges, and that you hope to advance as a result. It may happen next month or next year, but when that position to which you have been aspiring opens up, how much better of a chance do you think you have of getting it, compared to before? Think about that. In this day and age, how many people do you think have ever come up to that supervisor and made that request? One small note Make sure it is abundantly clear why you are taking on additional responsibilities. And furthermore, make sure the additional responsibilities are going to contribute to your growth and development. This isnât just more work for the sake of more work. Finally getting more in your professional career Like it or not, to get more in your professional career, you have to show that you can do more. You have to set yourself apart from your peers. In a day when most people have a solid understanding in the importance of their personal brand on social media, itâs amazing that they donât think the same way about their brand as an employee within their own company. You may think Iâm wrong. But thereâs really only one way to find out. Give it a try!

The Most Important Attribute for Landing a Job in 2019
The Most Important Attribute for Landing a Job in 2019 The Most Important Attribute for Landing a Job in 2019 Knowledge is power. Weâve heard this idiom many times before, but in this tight job market it takes on new meaning. Being informed about a job and well-versed in a companyâs expectations, needs and culture have never been more important when it comes to being a stand-out job applicant. On the eve of the new year, I spoke with Cheryl Roubian, Director of Talent, Greenhouse Software who couldnât agree more. âGet really clear for yourself about the profile of role and company youâre looking for,â says Roubian. âCandidates should expect to have a clear picture of what their role and responsibilities would be and what the company is like and should be prepared to demonstrate how they can add to the business and culture.â Being an informed candidate and showing this knowledge throughout the application process - in your resume, cover letter (no, itâs not dead!), through thoughtful interview questions and replies - are essential for beating the competition for in-demand jobs. Here are a few other key ways to land a job at a Best Places to Work winner like Greenhouse : Glassdoor: As a director of talent, how are you looking at candidates differently in 2019? Or are the ways you and your team evaluating candidates changing given the job landscape? Cheryl Roubian: The market is really tight and all signs indicate it will continue to be. But good hiring is the same in any market: define the attributes that will make someone successful for a particular role and then test for those attributes. Candidate experience is a big part of that as well. Candidates should expect to have a clear picture of what their role and responsibilities would be and what the company is like and should be prepared to demonstrate how they can add to the business and culture. Glassdoor: Many people say the cover letter is dead, especially in 2019. Is it still an important factor in the application? If not, what matters more? Cheryl Roubian: A well-written cover letter that is thoughtful, genuine, informative, and targeted at the company and role youâre applying for is still very relevant. It sets you apart from candidates who apply en masse to open roles and may be the deciding factor if the recruiter is on the fence about whether or not your skill set is relevant. Glassdoor: Landing a new job isnât just about submitting a resume and interviewing, itâs about getting to know a company and really gauging alignment and fit. What are your tips for how job seekers can determine whether a company is right for them? Cheryl Roubian: Get really clear for yourself about the profile of role and company youâre looking for (e.g., inclusive culture, sustainable business, compelling purpose). What questions will you need to ask to test for those things? Ask those questions of every interviewer you meet in your process and then look for patterns. If everyone is generally saying the same thing (and you like what theyâre saying) thatâs probably a good sign. Good companies use this structured hiring process to interview you. Set yourself apart by using it on them! Glassdoor: How is landing a new job at a small- or medium-sized company like Greenhouse different from angling for a gig at a big company? Cheryl Roubian: At small or medium-sized companies like Greenhouse, itâs a lot easier to see the impact of your work on overall business success. Every deal makes a difference. Every customer matters. Your involvement in the organization and culture can visibly make a difference. Glassdoor: Once candidates evaluate company culture and are hopefully extended an offer, how should job seekers be approaching negotiations in 2019? Cheryl Roubian: Unless being a strong negotiator is part of your job description (i.e., youâre in sales), being able to negotiate a fair title or market salary shouldnât be a requirement for a fair offer. Educate yourself about the company â" what theyâre able to offer will depend on a bunch of different factors â" e.g., size, industry, funding. Look at the whole picture and donât expect a 50-person startup to offer the same package as a company like Google. Good companies will have a philosophy or framework to help them make fair and equitable offers. Itâs ok to ask how a company arrived at the offer they made you.

Peter Cooper
Peter Cooper Peter Cooper Peter Cooper What do you do after making your first million? Peter Cooper (1791-1883) was unlike any other inventor, engineer or philanthropist who lived during the industrial age. His wealth was self-made and he was loved by many because of his genuine, deep, and unfailing love for his fellow man. His efforts benefited not only individuals, students, workers, and families, but society and humankind as well. Growing up working in industrial New York, Cooper became familiar with many trades. He apprenticed building cloth-shearing machines during his teens, then started his own shearing company, which did well enough to enable him to purchase a grocery business. He used the proceeds from selling the grocery business, which he didnt enjoy, to buy a glue factory. After creating ten different grades of glue, he found a way to freeze-dry it, creating a food-grade gelatin from the lightest grade. Though his patented, portable, dried form of gelatin later became Jell-O, his fortune came instead from his glue company, which had become a wildly successful monopoly. Cooper used these fortunes to purchase a steel mill, and became active in the mining and railroad industries. Producing railroad track helped him rise to become a leader in the steel trade and to be at the forefront of the industrial innovation. âTom Thumbâ engine. During the 1830s it was much doubted in England that steam-powered locomotive engines could be used on curved rails, especially the twisting, inclined track near Baltimore, MD. Experimenting with conical wheels and a steam-powered engine, Cooper built the Tom Thumb for the Baltimore Ohio Railroad Company. It became the first steam locomotive to run in the U.S., proving conclusively that steam-power may be used on our road with as much facility and effect as that of horses, at a very reduced expense, according to Cooper. Being a forward thinker, Cooper designed an elevator shaft in a multi-story building before elevators had been invented. He suspected that soon there would be a mechanical method to transport people in this space. His elevator shaft was circular-shaped because, according to him, it was the most efficient design. One of Peter Cooperâs patents included Jell-O. While he felt the objective of a business was to make money, he believed that the object of life is to do good. He felt it was everyones duty to help the nation progress towards a better social condition. Cooper regretted the fact that he only had at most a year of any formal schooling, and thought the less fortunate should have an opportunity to educate themselves and become successful. He founded The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City in 1859. As a free university, its goal was to provide the inspiration of truth and better the condition and means of raising competence and comfort thousands of those that might otherwise struggle through a life of poverty and suffering. He offered a free, well-stocked reading room and flexible night hours since he noticed it was difficult for working people to attend during the day. It was the first private college open to all classes, races, and genders. The university is still tuition-free and offers a merit-based education. His Great Hall, the largest non-religious meeting room in New York at the time, seated 900 people and became a place for social reform. It was there that Abraham Lincoln delivered the address that earned him the presidency and many other notables followed. Its where the Red Cross and NAACP were chartered, and Cooper ensured offices were available for womens activities and organizers such as Susan B. Anthony. In addition to helping individuals, Cooper benefited humankind through patents and companies that had historical significance. As President of the North American Telegraph Company and the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, he was instrumental in arranging to lay communications cables connecting Europe and America. Despite the many-year difficulties of laying cable under Canadas Gulf of Newfoundland, he helped arrange for cable to be laid across the Atlantic Ocean. The success of such an effort was doubted, especially after the first cable failed soon after its installation, and the second cable was lost half way through its laying. It took almost three years for Cooper to secure financing for a third attempt. While that cable was being installed, we went out to see if we could pick up the other one. The balance of the lost cable was on board the ship, Cooper describes in his autobiography. They spent 10 or 12 days hooking for the lost second cable two and one-half miles deep in mid-ocean and used up all their fuel before it was finally caught. It was pulled up three times before it was saved, picked up, and joined to the rest. The two ends of the cable were brought in connection, and we had two complete cables across the ocean. I do not think that feat is surpassed by any other human achievement. Debbie Sniderman is an independent writer. While he felt the objective of a business was to make money, he believed that 'the object of life is to do good.'
