Everything you should be an expression of your purpose. If an activity doesn't fit that formula, you wouldn't work on it. Period.

The most successful people I know create superior results yet still maintain a balance among work, family, and recreation in their lives.

Some people fold after making one timid request. They quit too soon. Keep asking until you find the answers. In sales there are usually four or five "no's" before you get a "yes."

Trust your gut feeling about things, listen to what others are saying, and look at the results of your actions. Once you know the truth, you can set about taking action to improve. Everyone will be better for it.

A recent management study revealed that 46% of employees leaving a company do so because they feel underappreciated; 61% said their bosses don't place much importance on them as people, and 88% said they do not receive acknowledgement for the work they do.

If it ain't fun don't do it.

Most everything that you want is just outside your comfort zone.
