    Embrace the change, soon enough it will become a full revolution (in the circular sense).
    It's great advice.

        I just learned I'm boring normal 3 jobs over 42 years. 5 years the first job, 10 years in the 2nd job and working on retiring after 27 years in the 3rd.

            No, you're beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, man.

              That's impressive. You're a nester. That's why you've stuck with the Bulldogs Clearly the companies value your work.
              I've racked up just short of 35 years in the last 2 companies after starting my working life as a box boy

              I didn't give up on my dreams of being a professional footballer for the Dogs until I was about 40.
              The test cricketer dream was shelved a few years after that

                The way I'm hitting them I'm no chance, not even with Stan's insights/ help.

                    AFL star breaks silence after quitting over refusal to get vaccine

                    Liam Jones has broken his silence after sensationally retiring from the AFL over his refusal to get vaccinated against Covid, saying he's still 'got his best footy ahead'.

                    The former Carlton star walked away from a $500,000 contract after the league instituted a vaccinate mandate for all players to have received their first dose by December 6, 2021.

                    Jones, 30, said he was stepping away due to 'personal reasons' but refused to make further comment on his reasoning, with reports emerging he had refused to get the jab.

                    'I wish to announce my retirement from AFL football effective immediately,' he said in a shock statement last year.

                    'I want to take this opportunity to thank all who have supported me throughout my journey, both personally and professionally. I love the game and I'll miss my teammates.

                    'I hope that people respect my decision and privacy – neither myself or my management team will be making any further comment on the matter.'

                    The key defender spoke to reporters at his first training session for his new Queensland club footy side on Monday, claiming his 'best footy is still ahead of me'.

                    'It's hard moving on but it's the situation we're in,' Jones said, responding to questions whether he would re-join the AFL if the mandate was dropped.

                    'I'm as fit as I've ever been. It's one of those things, it's not in anyone's control, it's the world really.'

                    The 30-year-old Tasmanian, who will play for Palm Beach Currumbin's Aussie Rules team on the Gold Coast, said he would consider playing in the country's premier competition again if circumstances changed.

                    'I'll cross that bridge when I come to it,' Jones said.

                    'In my opinion I've still got my best footy ahead of me.'

                    'It's hard moving on but it's the situation we're in,' Jones said, responding to questions whether he would re-join the AFL if the mandate was dropped© Provided by Daily Mail 'It's hard moving on but it's the situation we're in,' Jones said, responding to questions whether he would re-join the AFL if the mandate was dropped
                    Jones was the first to quit due to the vaccine rule, with three other stars' futures also in jeopardy.

                    West Coast Eagles key forward Jack Darling remains unvaccinated and undecided on whether he will get the jab.

                    Brisbane's Cam Ellis Yolmen has been relegated to the Lions' reserve grade side after he refused to get the vaccine, while North Melbourne's Jed Anderson is waiting for Novovax.

                      I wonder if he changes his decisions about being vaxed if he could rejoin a team in the mid season draft.

                        Would you grab him if we had the opportunity?

                          We don't have a position on the list but I'd consider it. It's very unlikely though.
                          Would need to make sure he is fully committed.

                            Which today are you talking about? The one that just happened or one from ages ago?
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              He would fit in at Fullback, no probs.

                                For sure, he's still got some good football ahead of him if he changes his stance.

                                Imagine a vaxed Jones being in a pool of players the clubs could draw in if they have lost players via Covid.
                                He would be in high demand.
