An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.

Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.

The man who starts out going nowhere, generally gets there.

Put a 'stop-loss' order on your worries. Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth- and refuse to give it any more.

In talking with people, don't begin by discussing the things on which you differ. Begin by emphasizing - and keep on emphasizing - the things on which you agree. Keep emphasizing, if possible, that you are both striving for the same end and that your only difference is one of method and not of purpose.

Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
