From The Masters

*PROBLEM SOLVING

"Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer."

-- Denis Waitley

"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem."

-- Theodore Rubin



"Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds..."

-- Norman Vincent Peale



"To solve any problem, there are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, whom could I ask?"

-- Jim Rohn

 

 

 

 

 

*PRIORITIES

"Keep in mind that you are always saying 'no' to something. If it isn't to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is probably to the most fundamental, highly important things. Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it."

-- Stephen Covey


"Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things."

-- Jim Rohn


"To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right."

-- Confucius


"What are the most important things you do, measured by their long-term consequences?"

-- Brian Tracy
