Dear Reader,


Though many will dismiss it as simply a diversion from the real world, I think we can learn a lot of valuable life lessons from sports.

Consider the recently concluded World Series. A few nights ago the New York Yankees won their 27th baseball championship. While many will say the Yankees won because they had the best players (and they did have the highest payroll in baseball), I say they won because of the countless hours the organization put into developing a plan and then confidently executing it.

When asked how he liked his team's chances entering the World Series, Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman said if they got beaten it was because their opponents were the better team, not because the Yankees lacked a sound plan.

Plan your work, work your plan. Sounds easy enough, but so many of us neglect to develop a plan of action for our careers, expecting success to simply find us. But success rarely ever just happens; to thrive in your career you need a road map and that's where we can help.

In this month's issue of SAS Training Report, you'll find the tools you need to plan your 2010 SAS training path. In addition to our new 2010 training catalog, you'll find recommended learning paths based on your job role, making it easy to see what steps you need to take next to become more proficient in SAS. And, for those ready to take the next step in their careers, you'll find information on how to prepare for an internationally recognized SAS Certification at 50% off.

Here's to your future success. And, as always, thanks for reading.
