"If you want to go farther than where you are now, accept that the only way to do that is seeking out and embracing change," he writes. FuelFix.com (10/21)

Your Next Challenge
Choose references wisely
Choosing the wrong references is one of the biggest mistakes job applicants make on their resumes, writes Rebecca Knight.

Balancing Yourself
Avoiding burnout starts with awareness
Many hardworking managers and executives are on the way to burning out, but Scott Eblin's latest book argues that a deliberate approach of mindfulness and intentional actions can change their fate. "By awareness, I mean awareness of what's going on both around you and inside of you in any given moment," he writes. "Being aware enables you to act in the moment with the intention of creating a particular outcome or result." SmartBrief/SmartBlog on Leadership (10/20)

Tom Hanks has written a short story for The New Yorker of an iPhone-assisted journey to the moon and back with two Home Depot employees and a Web designer. "The structure is competent and comedic -- set-up, punch; set-up, punch," says Chris Power of The Guardian, but Katy Waldman of Slate argues that Hanks would not have been published were he not a celebrity.
