Find Your Inner Popeye - Work Advice for Square Pegs in the Round Holes of Life

I yam what I yam. And no one knows better than Popeye, the iconic sailor man, that to succeed you must remain true to yourself. But to find your inner Popeye, you have to abide by that fundamental Popeye philosophy that only the old salt can articulate. “Find Your Inner ‘Popeye’” is work advice on finessing or leveraging your individualism – not compromising or sacrificing it – so you can still succeed even when you feel like the square peg in the round hole of life. Getter has compiled some advice learned the hard way to help you get through it all without losing your identify. Those maxims include “tell the emperor he’s naked,” “we’re all replaceable,” “deadwood doesn’t float” and “junk yard dog, not pit bull.” At the end of a very long career or just a string of many unfulfilling jobs, will you be able to look at yourself and be satisfied that you still have your integrity and self-worth? Just like Popeye, you may be pummeled along the way but you will persevere and overcome the obstacles put before you if you believe in who you are.
