Article by Charles Handy exploring life experience. Handy relates how, after seventy-five years of living, he has learned a great deal about his life and what a full life entails. In particular, he focuses on his time spent in industry and how a conversation with his wife concerning his position at Shell Oil Company forced him to realize that his success was being defined, and life controlled, by his employer. This realization inspired Handy to question lifetime contracts with organizations and to his support of portfolio careers. He concludes the article advocating reflection in life and career in order to arrive at a greater understanding of one's self, and the others that one can affect.
