1. Old and Outdated Career Focus - Make your career your channel for fulfillment.
   
   New Age Focus and Effective Tip - Forget about getting fulfillment through your career. Your employer is not concerned about how satisfied you are with your job - but how well you do it. Focus and treat your job as a means to make money - which, in truth it is. Seek fulfillment in your relationships, love, hobbies, etc. If you continue to seek fulfillment through your job, you will more likely than not end up frustrated and bitter - and unfulfilled.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Old and Outdated Career Focus - You are working for your company; give 100% to it.
   
   New Age Focus and Effective Tip - Forget the company; work for your supervisor/ boss. Focus on making your boss look good, succeed, and keep going. Your boss is your spokesperson in the company - a large company likely does not know you just like it does not know the hundreds or thousands of others that work along with you.
   
   To advance in your career you will need to be your own hero, and for that you need a projector, which is your boss. Hence, the only thing that will advance your career and get you recognition is ensuring that your supervisor/ boss is thrilled with the way you do your job - and especially how you make him look good.
   
   
3. Old and Outdated Career Focus - Old is gold. The more experienced you are, the more valuable you are to your company. Hence, you need not worry about impressing your boss after you are 50 or 60.
   
   New Age Focus and Effective Tip - Young blood is cheaper and they work harder. Your neck will be on the chopping block, experience and all, unless you show and prove that you are invaluable. You can counter age with passion, expertise (become a one-point solution in your field), enthusiasm and exuberance. If you start dragging your feet, asking for age-related concessions, or look fatigued 24x7, then you are on your way out.
