The Beginning

Good morning,

 

You are receiving this email because I actually care about your success.  I am going to start sending you words to help motivate you to plan for the week and years ahead.  Some, if not all of you have heard me use these phrases in one form or another, in some context or another.  Can’t decide if I want to do this on Mondays or Fridays, but I will try to be consistent.  I won’t be offended if you want to be taken off the list or if you think this is complete nonsense.  Just let me know.  Here goes:

 

7 Key Rules of Life

 

  1. Always speak less and listen more (2 ears/1 mouth)

  2. Win through your actions, never through your arguments

  3. The mind is everything.  Your will is stronger than you know

  4. The future depends on what you do in the present

  5. What others think of you doesn’t matter

  6. No one is coming to save you.  You are responsible for your own success and failure

  7. Your best teacher is your last mistake
