Be prepared to ride the cycles and trends of life; success is never permanent, and failure is never final.

Be loyal to your boss, your company, your co-workers. Someone is always listening.

Develop a clear vision for your organization. Where do you want to be in five years?

Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution; this gives you a 1,000 percent Return on Energy!

Your ability to negotiate, communicate, influence, and persuade others to do things is absolutely indispensable to everything you accomplish in life. The most effective men and women in every area are those who can quite competently organize the cooperation and assistance of other people toward the accomplishment of important goals and objectives.

Manage by objectives. Tell people exactly what you want them to do and then get out of their way.

Visualize and think about yourself as you would ideally like to be, not just as you are.
