- Never compromise your integrity-for anyone or anything.
- Don't try to be all things to all people. Learn to say no politely
and pleasantly, but immediately and firmly.
- Never wait for something to happen; make it happen! Do it now!
- Do not be overwhelmed by the tasks before you. Don't try to do everything;
just do something.
- To accomplish your objective, first begin. Second, concentrate exclusively
on the project at hand. Third don't stop.
- Let circumstances dictate your priorities: let priorities determine your actions.
- Focus your efforts on the crux of the problem. Don't expend energy on peripheral
issues that are not crucial to producing results.
- For maximum effectiveness, do only what you do best and let others do the rest.
- Concentrate on long-term, permanent solutions rather than stopgap measures.
- Don't waste time telling people what you're doing or what you're going to do.
Results have a way of informing the world.
- Don't make promises you can't keep; once made, keep them.
- Don't be tempted to take the easy way out. Have the self-discipline to do the
right thing rather than the instinctive thing.
- Don't become lax; play every point as though it were match point.
- When the ball is on the one-yard line, don't risk a fumble; carry it over yourself.
- Avoid premature celebrations. you're not through until you've dotted all the
I's and crossed all the t's - and the check has cleared the bank.
