Everywhere I look I see people "upgrading their skills". IT folk, of course, basically have no choice but to find something else to do with their careers once they've passed the 10-15 year mark and are no longer required. But I've spoken with teachers, therapists, business analysts, even a chef. Everyone seems to recognize that they need to take on more risk and expense just to keep going.

In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, delve deep into the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In work, be competent. In action, be careful of your timing.

—Lao Tsu
