Why You Should Want to Work Forever Marla Gottschalk

Why You Should Want to Work Forever Marla Gottschalk Its Thanksgiving morning. Im juggling a recipe for homemade cranberry sauce (its not going well), the Macys NYC parade and a turkey that isnt fully defrosted. (A slight mathematical error on my part). I am no Julia Child â€" but that is beside the point. Between the marching bands and floats, the screen suddenly pans to a smiling older gentleman behind the scenes at NBC. Who is this? Hes 94-year-old Milton Delugg, musical director of the Macys parade â€" a role he has fulfilled in some capacity for many years. I feel inspired seeing him there. He is a success on so many levels. (Note: Mr. Delugg remained as musical director for the parade through 2013. He recently passed away.) One reason? He has found what he loves to do â€" his lifes work. While doing so, he continues to offer joy through the music he shares. Does this keep him young at heart? Not sure. But he is remarkable. I hope we all find this in our own career journey â€" and want to work forever. One more thing to be grateful for. (But, I am still hoping for a cranberry sauce success.) Happy Holidays!
