Quotes by Richard Bolles ...

“The key to a happy and fulfilling future is knowing yourself. This self-knowledge is the most important component of finding the right career,” -- Richard Nelson Bolles

"You want to take action every day, not sit around waiting for something to happen." -- Richard N. Bolles

"I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change." -- Richard Nelson Bolles

“Many people take career tests with the hope that someone can definitely tell them who they are and what they should do. No test can do that. I recommend that people use the results of their career interest tests to stimulate their own ideas about possible occupations.” -- Richard Nelson Bolles
