Think of three people who can provide you with inspiration, motivation and support for
your goals and aspirations. Plan to meet with each one of them over the next few weeks.
Listen enthusiastically to them and brainstorm with them. Map out a strategy and take
their wise counsel.
Just as valuable energy is wasted by spending time on activities that are of no value,
energy can be wasted on loose thinking.
Make a new friend or acquaintance every day. Keep an updated list of all contacts close
at hand. Rich relationships are the DNA of a rich, rewarding life.
Do not talk when you are listening. Interrupting is one of the most common discourtesies.
Listen aggressively with the full scope of your attention. You will be amazed at what you
learn and how your counsel will soon be sought by many.
If you have a choice of taking two paths, always take the more daring of the two.
Calculated risk taking often produces extraordinary results.
Some men see things as they are and say "why?" I dream of things that never were and
say "why not?" George Bernard Shaw
Be known as an innovator at your place of work. Sit down over the next week and write
out ten suggestions for your supervisor as to how to improve the work being done and the
quality of the workplace itself. Be known as an idea person willing to discover challenges
and tackle them with zest and enthusiasm.
Napoleon III of France had a special ability to remember the names of all those he met.
His secret was to say "so sorry, I missed your name" after being introduced to a new
person. This would cause the name to be repeated and reinforced within his memory. If
the name was difficult, he would ask for the proper spelling.
