Life, both professional and personal, is built upon change. Though it sounds trite, it is still largely a truism that the only difference between tragedy and opportunity is perspective. The pop psychology of positive thinking really is trite, because sometimes growth opportunities hurt deeply or because we carom in directions we may not have foreseen and for which we feel unprepared. Following an opportunity always requires a change of perspective.
