I received a package in the mail last week that made me smile
in delighted surprise. It came from my sister, although I did
not realize it at first. I should have known right away, as it was
addressed to Julie Jordan, which I have not gone by for more than
ten years now.
I turned the package over in my hands, reading all the words,
digesting it bit by bit.
And then I thought, it is amazing the things one can do with
an advanced degree in Physics.
Look at Dien! He has an advanced degree in Physics and runs
the show here at Sowpub. Did you know he is also Dr. Dien Rice?
He has a PhD in Physics.
Now when you think "Physicist" what is your first mind picture?
Yet Dien, while loving Physics and remaining very much a
Physicist he is also an entrepreneur, a publisher, a webmaster (I did
not realize until recently that http://www.entrepreneur-web.com/
is another site of Dien's.
One of my favorite things about Dien is his creativity in thinking.
My brother in law also has an advanced degree in Physics. Like
Dien, he has taught (and still teaches) Physics and Math at a
college here in California. Yet beyond his 8-5 gig, he is now
building something more.
On my package, there was a website. Another dimension of
my brother in law I did not know. Check it out here:
http://www.plainandtall.com
Another physicist following his heart, following his dreams, simply
being his best authentic self and blessing the rest of us purely
by being himself.
Too often people shortchange themselves into thinking they can't
do this or that because they don't have the education they think
they need, or they feel stuck in a certain role, or their expectations
don't match their current or past realities and they are too
afraid to change.
Dien and Keith, my brother in law, are living, breathing, inspiring
examples that an advanced degree in physics can get you many
unexpected places.
What do you suppose my degree is in? It might surprise you to
find out!
When I graduated from college, I had more job offers than any of
my peers. I could have had more, I suppose. I learned how to
leverage my talents and abilities with my education. And thats
what we do, as entrepreneurs.
Just some food for thought on a Monday Night.
Happy October Everyone!
