Most of us just go to work everyday, doing what we do, knowing it's not the best path, but doing it any way. We have excuses mostly related to money, security, and fear of the unknown. Bravo to those that step out!

This is inspiring- that we can invigorate our lives and embark on and demonstrate a different path. It has given me the impetus and confidence to pursue a greener lifestyle..

Satisfaction is the only thing that matters for human beings. These all are legends who think beyond the limit and has done tremendous job. What they are doing is their career and everything they are doing is for others. They look for self happiness in the happiness of others.
Great!!

It is important to that you love your career. If you are just mediocre with the work that you do, then you won't be very productive. And, you won't be able to give your best.

Plan B

As the economy limps along, urban professionals are increasingly getting back to basics. The recession and slow recovery has led to a whole lot of rethinking — of goals and even careers. Rather than wait for the  ideal job (or any job) to come along, people are creating opportunities for themselves and even bringing others along with them. They’re following what they once thought of as Plan B — or even Plan C — and often acting on the impulse to give back to the planet without leaving home. Meet some multitasking DIY types — veggie tenders, chicken whisperers and chip purveyors — who are quietly transforming their lives and the economy. (Text: Enrique Gili)
