Good balance is often taken for granted.

Good balance is often taken for granted. Most people don't find it difficult to walk across a gravel driveway, transition from walking on a sidewalk to grass, or get out of bed in the middle of the night without stumbling. However, with impaired balance such activities can be extremely fatiguing and sometimes dangerous. Symptoms that accompany the unsteadiness can include dizziness, vertigo, hearing and vision problems, and difficulty with concentration and memory.

What is balance?

Balance is the ability to maintain the body's center of mass over its base of support. ¹ A properly functioning balance system allows humans to see clearly while moving, identify orientation with respect to gravity, determine direction and speed of movement, and make automatic postural adjustments to maintain posture and stability in various conditions and activities.

Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems that include sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of that sensory input; and motor output to the eye and body muscles. Injury, disease, certain drugs, or the aging process can affect one or more of these components. In addition to the contribution of sensory information, there may also be psychological factors that impair our sense of balance.

Maintaining balance depends on information received by the brain from three peripheral sources: eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (Figure 1). All three of these information sources send signals to the brain in the form of nerve impulses from special nerve endings called sensory receptors.
Figure 1. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems.

Input from the eyes

Sensory receptors in the retina are called rods and cones. Rods are believed to be tuned better for vision in low light situations (e.g. at night time). Cones help with color vision, and the finer details of our world. When light strikes the rods and cones, they send impulses to the brain that provide visual cues identifying how a person is oriented relative to other objects. For example, as a pedestrian takes a walk along a city street, the surrounding buildings appear vertically aligned, and each storefront passed first moves into and then beyond the range of peripheral vision.

Input from the muscles and joints

Proprioceptive information from the skin, muscles, and joints involves sensory receptors that are sensitive to stretch or pressure in the surrounding tissues. For example, increased pressure is felt in the front part of the soles of the feet when a standing person leans forward. With any movement of the legs, arms, and other body parts, sensory receptors respond by sending impulses to the brain. Along with other information, these stretch and pressure cues help our brain determine where our body is in space.

The sensory impulses originating in the neck and ankles are especially important. Proprioceptive cues from the neck indicate the direction in which the head is turned. Cues from the ankles indicate the body's movement or sway relative to both the standing surface (floor or ground) and the quality of that surface (for example, hard, soft, slippery, or uneven).

Input from the vestibular system

Sensory information about motion, equilibrium, and spatial orientation is provided by the vestibular apparatus, which in each ear includes the utricle, saccule, and three semicircular canals. The utricle and saccule detect gravity (information in a vertical orientation) and linear movement. The semicircular canals, which detect rotational movement, are located at right angles to each other and are filled with a fluid called endolymph. When the head rotates in the direction sensed by a particular canal, the endolymphatic fluid within it lags behind because of inertia, and exerts pressure against the canal's sensory receptor. The receptor then sends impulses to the brain about movement from the specific canal that is stimulated. When the vestibular organs on both sides of the head are functioning properly, they send symmetrical impulses to the brain. (Impulses originating from the right side are consistent with impulses originating from the left side.)

Integration of sensory input

Balance information provided by the peripheral sensory organs-eyes, muscles and joints, and the two sides of the vestibular system-is sent to the brain stem. There, it is sorted out and integrated with learned information contributed by the cerebellum (the coordination center of the brain) and the cerebral cortex (the thinking and memory center). The cerebellum provides information about automatic movements that have been learned through repeated exposure to certain motions. For example, by repeatedly practicing serving a ball, a tennis player learns to optimize balance control during that movement. Contributions from the cerebral cortex include previously learned information; for example, because icy sidewalks are slippery, one is required to use a different pattern of movement in order to safely navigate them.

Processing of conflicting sensory input

A person can become disoriented if the sensory input received from his or her eyes, muscles and joints, or vestibular organs sources conflicts with one another. For example, this may occur when a person is standing next to a bus that is pulling away from the curb. The visual image of the large rolling bus may create an illusion for the pedestrian that he or she-rather than the bus-is moving. However, at the same time the proprioceptive information from his muscles and joints indicates that he is not actually moving. Sensory information provided by the vestibular organs may help override this sensory conflict. In addition, higher level thinking and memory might compel the person to glance away from the moving bus to look down in order to seek visual confirmation that his body is not moving relative to the pavement.

Motor output

As sensory integration takes place, the brain stem transmits impulses to the muscles that control movements of the eyes, head and neck, trunk, and legs, thus allowing a person to both maintain balance and have clear vision while moving.

Motor output to the muscles and joints

A baby learns to balance through practice and repetition as impulses sent from the sensory receptors to the brain stem and then out to the muscles form a new pathway. With repetition, it becomes easier for these impulses to travel along that nerve pathway-a process called facilitation-and the baby is able to maintain balance during any activity. Strong evidence exists suggesting that such synaptic reorganization occurs throughout a person's lifetime of adjusting to changing motion environs.

This pathway facilitation is the reason dancers and athletes practice so arduously. Even very complex movements become nearly automatic over a period of time. This also means that if a problem with one sensory information input were to develop, the process of facilitation can help the balance system reset and adapt to achieve a sense of balance again.

For example, when a person is turning cartwheels in a park, impulses transmitted from the brain stem inform the cerebral cortex that this particular activity is appropriately accompanied by the sight of the park whirling in circles. With more practice, the brain learns to interpret a whirling visual field as normal during this type of body rotation. Alternatively, dancers learn that in order to maintain balance while performing a series of pirouettes, they must keep their eyes fixed on one spot in the distance as long as possible while rotating their body.

The vestibular system sends motor control signals via the nervous system to the muscles of the eyes with an automatic function called the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). When the head is not moving, the number of impulses from the vestibular organs on the right side is equal to the number of impulses coming from the left side. When the head turns toward the right, the number of impulses from the right ear increases and the number from the left ear decreases. The difference in impulses sent from each side controls eye movements and stabilizes the gaze during active head movements (e.g., while running or watching a hockey game) and passive head movements (e.g., while sitting in a car that is accelerating or decelerating).
The human balance system involves a complex set of sensorimotor-control systems. Its interlacing feedback mechanisms can be disrupted by damage to one or more components through injury, disease, or the aging process. Impaired balance can be accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, vision problems, nausea, fatigue, and concentration difficulties. The complexity of the human balance system creates challenges in diagnosing and treating the underlying cause of imbalance. The crucial integration of information obtained through the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems means that disorders affecting an individual system can markedly disrupt a person's normal sense of balance. Vestibular dysfunction as a cause of imbalance offers a particularly intricate challenge because of the vestibular system's interaction with cognitive functioning,² and the degree of influence it has on the control of eye movements and posture.

A job is something that a person commits to doing regularly because its agreed upon wage.  A career is a pursuit or a desired goal over a period of time. when you enjoy a career its not really treated like a  job its treated more like an activity.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Are you a college graduate, a millennial, a military veteran looking to transition back to civilian life, or a seasoned professional unsatisfied with your current employment situation? If so, then the "job" versus "career" question is one you should consider, because the differences between the two can be crucial to your overall satisfaction.

During your life, you'll spend a lot of time at work. Make it count by choosing a career in which you can grow and about which you are passionate.
What's the Difference, Anyway?
Essentially, a "job" is a series of tasks that a person commits to doing regularly in order to earn an agreed upon wage.

A "career", on the other hand, is the pursuit of desired goals and achievements over a period of time. A career is composed of a series of consecutive jobs that involve progressive, growth-related moves.

In short, a job is simply about making a living, but a career is about making a life.

According to Gallup, people who focus on what they do best at work - i.e., their strengths - are six times more likely to be engaged in their jobs and three times more likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general.

When companies are looking to recruit the best talent, they often ask questions designed to uncover whether or not you, as a job seeker, are serious about the prospective role - whether that role fits into your long-term career plans.

While you need to use the interview to convince the employer that you are the best candidate for the job, you also need to take some time during the job hunt to figure out whether or not that company would be a great fit for you and your longer-term career goals.

Therefore, it is essential for you to also ask the interviewer the right questions, such as: How would you describe your company culture? What is the future growth trajectory for the company? Does your company offer opportunities for professional development?

The answers to these questions can tell you whether or not the company is truly a good fit for you and your career.
7 Ways to Build a Great Career
By drawing upon my more than 18 years of talent management experience, I've crafted a list of seven important actions you can take to help you build and navigate a successful career.
1. Work Hard and Maintain a Positive Attitude
W. Clement Stone, the founder of Combined Insurance, said the No. 1 principle of success in life is having a "positive mental attitude," or PMA. Employers want to hire individuals who are personable, confident, and in possession of a "can do" attitude, so it's important to present yourself as a motivated person who is willing to do what it takes to get the job done.

Once you land the job- even if it's an entry-level role - you should always do your best. When possible, go even further by volunteering for additional responsibilities. Being that "Yes, I can" employee who's eager to learn and strives for excellence will help you build a strong reputation. In turn, that reputation will help you climb the career ladder to positions of greater responsibility - and higher income.
2. Be a Utility Player
Given today's dynamic business landscape and rapid pace of technological evolution, companies require employees who are adaptable and flexible with broad capabilities. Be someone who can fit into various roles as business requirements change, and you will be a person in whom the company will invest.

Show that you are a "utility player" - an individual who can play in more than one position. Problem-solving skills, accountability, adaptability, and initiative are core competencies that will help you succeed in multiple roles at various levels.
3. Always Aim Higher
To keep your confidence and skills growing, the key is to not become complacent. Lifelong learning is not only important for your career, but also a satisfying way to live. Start off any new position by taking advantage of any training and mentoring opportunities your employer may offer.

This can be done on the job by taking on "stretch" assignments and staying current with industry trends and events, or on your own by taking educational and training courses offered by local colleges or professional associations. Stay up-to-date by reading industry publications, online articles, and relevant business books. The more you know and the more you demonstrate what you can do, the more likely it is that you will be the candidate of choice when a good career opportunity presents itself.

You should always be genuinely open to feedback, too. Feedback is a gift and an opportunity for improving yourself.
4. Build a Professional Network and a Strong Personal Brand
Every job offers opportunities to expand your professional network. Everyone you meet during your time in a given role - from your bosses and coworkers to clients, suppliers, and peers at other organizations - has the potential to become a valuable contact.

Forging and maintaining relationships at work and within your professional universe can help you further your career and may lead to new and unforeseen opportunities in the future. So, be sure to chat and connect with other professionals whenever you have the opportunity, whether on LinkedIn or at industry functions.

Remember that the brand which most deserves your attention is your own. Be clear on your personal brand. Ask yourself: What do people say about me and my work? What do I want them to say? What do I want to be known for?

A great reputation can help you land your next big career opportunity.
5. Choose a Prospective Employer Wisely
Whether you work for one employer or many over the course of your career, it's important to select employers that share your view of building a career rather than a job. Look for companies offering career development tracks, which should include training, mentoring, and clear upward paths in the company.

As you decide on which company and position to choose, ask yourself these questions: Does the role fit my current/future skills? Does the manager I'll report to fit well with my leadership-style preferences? Does the company culture align with my core values?

For example, my company offers comprehensive initial and ongoing training and development for sales agents, as well as for those who opt to pursue administrative, corporate, or management positions. As a result, many of our corporate employees, sales agents, and managers have built solid careers with us, and these careers have contributed to their own professional and financial success, as well as the success of our company.
6. Company Culture Matters
To advance your career, you need to look for companies that strive for true meritocracy - companies where employees' performances and contributions determine their success, recognition, rewards, and career opportunities.

A meritocracy is a simple and effective motivational formula: The better you perform, the more you will be rewarded. Look for companies that promote people based on performance excellence. When what you do matters and hard work pays off, you'll be more motivated and satisfied at work.
7. Set Achievable Goals and Measure Your Progress
Building a fulfilling and sustainable career is an ongoing process that requires motivation, a plan of action, flexibility, and discipline. It's important to assess your career goals periodically, because people and circumstances change.

As you measure your progress, don't be afraid to alter some goals or set new ones, depending on the new situations that may arise for you. The important thing is to keep moving ahead. Look for opportunities to improve and be strategic and intentional about the career moves you make.

When it comes to your career, you need to stay engaged and adopt a mindset that is focused on continuous improvement.
-
Building a career rather than just doing a job will create a greater feeling of personal fulfillment. That doesn't mean it's always easy, however. Sometimes, in order to build a career, you may have to turn down a higher-paying job in favor of one that offers more career potential.

It can be a hard decision to make, but the sacrifice will be well worth it.

The choice is yours - your career awaits!
