Nope.
None that I know of. However,
you can be on the fast-track to results, if you first, embrace some powerful
principles or core values. This is the kinda stuff that I often think
about. For I am a firm believer,
the right beliefs and values are the greatest influencers of success and
achievement. While what you do is crucial. That is merely a reflection of who you are. And perhaps, the best summation of these
principles, I found unexpectedly. Last Wednesday night, Sheryl and I attended
Amanda, (our youngest child’s), first-grade curriculum night. On
Amanda’s desk, was a simple sheet, titled: Lifeskills by Susan Kovalik &
Associates. It said: Integrity: To
act according to what is right and wrong. Initiative: To
do something because it needs to be done. Flexibility:
The ability to alter plans when necessary. Perseverance:
To keep at it. Organization:
To work in an orderly way. Sense of humor:
To laugh and be playful without hurting others. Effort: To do
your best. Common sense:
To think it through. Problem-solving:
To seek solutions. Responsibility:
To do what is right. Patience: To
wait calmly. Friendship: To
make and keep a friend through mutual trust and caring. Curiosity: To
investigate and seek understanding. Cooperation: To
work together toward a common goal or purpose. Caring: To show
/ feel concern. Courage: To act
according to one’s beliefs. Kinda funny, ain’t it, the lessons you can learn, when you sit at the desk of a six-year-old. |
