Sometimes there is a discrepancy between who you are and what you do for a living. You should feel proud of the institution where you’re working and the work you’re doing. If you are unhappy at work and feel a disconnect, you might want to reconsider your direction.-Dr. Roberson

Although there are many good books and other resources on the subject, I find it helpful to learn from people around me who actually went through the process successfully.
