Wisdom

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. 

Dream big 

Earnest is better than hip 

Don't complain, just work harder 

Treat the disease, not the symptom 

Don't obsess over what people think 

Look for the best in everybody 

Watch what people do, not what they say 

Get people's attention 

Always say, `Thank you!' 

All you have is what you bring with you 

A bad apology is worse than no apology 

Tell the truth 

No job is beneath you 

Never give up 

Be a communitarian 

All you have to do is ask. Don't be afraid to appear ignorant. 

1. Time is more valuable than money

2. Random Acts of kindness

3. No Balls, No Babies

4. Work Hard, Play Hard

5. Don't let fear be a roadblock

6. Expect the unexpected, and always be ready

7. It's Ok to yell and be yelled at

8. Everybody gets down, the key is how soon you get back up

9. It's not if the glass is half empty, or half full, it's who is pouring the water

10. It's not in the dreaming, it's in the doing

11. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered

12. You only have to be right once

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Change starts from within, and highly effective people make the

decision to improve their lives through the things that they can

influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Develop a principle-centered personal mission statement. Extend the

mission statement into long-term goals based on personal principles.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the

proper balance between production and building production capacity.

Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for

each of them.

Habit 4: Think Win/Win

Seek agreements and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In

cases where a "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that

agreeing to make "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing

an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among

employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be

understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most important

principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not

simply echoing what the other person has said through the lens of

one's own experience. Rather, it is putting oneself in the perspective

of the other person, listening emphatically for both feeling and

meaning.

Habit G: Synergize

Through trustful communication, find ways to leverage individual

differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the

parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve

conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained

through either person's own solution.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Take time out from production to build production capacity through

personal renewal of the physical, mental, social/emotional, and

spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.

Thirteen Virtues 

Franklin sought to cultivate his character by a plan of thirteen virtues, which he developed at age 20 (in 1726) and continued to practice in some form for the rest of his life. His autobiography lists his thirteen virtues as:

"TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."

"SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid

trifling conversation."

"ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your

business have its time."

"RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail

what you resolve."

"FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself;

i.e., waste nothing."

"INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut

off all unnecessary actions."

"SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and,

if you speak, speak accordingly."

"JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that

are your duty."

"MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you

think they deserve."

"CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation."

"TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or

unavoidable."

"CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to

dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or

reputation."

"HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates."

Think, Believe, Achieve.

Trust God, Take it easy, Do Not Sell Yourself Short.

Stay True, Stay Foolish, Stay Hungry.

Feels Right, Learn Lessons, Give Something Back.

"advertising is the price companies pay for

being un-original"

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now I'm found.

Was blind, but now I see.

'twas grace that taught my heart to feel

And grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed.

When we've been dead ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Then when we first begun.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now I'm found.

Was blind, but now I see.

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.
