“It’s not what you achieve, it’s what you overcome. That’s what defines your career.” – Carlton Fisk

The Career Quote of the Week comes from Carlton Fisk- a former Major League Baseball catcher who played for 24 years with both the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. 


We believe that his quote applies to all occupations- not just to athletes. The unemployed should also find motivation from this quote, knowing that overcoming rough patches is what eventually distinguishes a career.
