Moneo writes: Time to reflect on your true desires

August traditionally used to be seen as ‘the quiet month’. The month when everybody went on holiday and as such things could be expected to slow down. If that is the case then August is surely the month to step back and take some time to reflect upon things.

It is also a time when many of us celebrate an anniversary of qualifying to become an optometrist. Now the longer we have been qualified the less relevant this may seem but maybe that should not be so for the newer members of our profession. Maybe as another year of experience has been chalked up the time has come to reflect on whether or not your career path is the one you really want to be on.
