“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out
why.” ~Mark Twain
Perspective “The ability to simultaneously hold in your
mind, a picture of where you want to go while being aware of where you are today.”
Without perspective you can never find direction
“We all must suffer from one of two things:
The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”
“The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no
goal to reach.”Benjamin Mays

Do you want to be with the 2%? Or with the 98%?

strength thingWinning is a quality thing

mind.

there? Who will feel this loss? How do you want to be remembered?
It is not about being rememberedBut about being remembered with honor
The Essential Truth Living life is about making choices:
Choosing to be a “Victim” Or choosing to be a “Master”
Both stances are subject to the givens of society, environment, organization
Both stances have implications in terms of your development and happiness
It’s not what happens to you but what you do with what happens to you that
matters

farewell speech being delivered by someone who has worked with you, for many years and knows you very well.

Life is an equation2 x 2 = 4
You own the multiplier and are given the constant
The result is a product of both If we want a different result, we can still get it
even though we own only one side of the equation
What can you do to change your multiplier?
Give to get What you have in your hand is the
harvest. What you plant is the seed. Hang on to what you have and that’s all
you'll ever have. You want more? Then plant what you
have. Give what you have to get what you need
The only way to get, is to give
Want trust? Want caring? Want fun? Want respect? Want harmony? Want appreciation? Want happiness?
Hide their faults Show concern Laugh often Be thankful Accept differences Don’t be critical Forgive mistakes
Return to society Strong societies are built on giving What we give returns to us in multiples Social disparities create fatal flaws We owe it to those who gave for us
Honor is never old fashioned
Create a legacy How do you want to be remembered? What do you want to leave behind? How is the world a better place because you
live here? What loss will people feel when you are gone?
Because it is the return on our investment
Success is where opportunity
meets preparation
Success is a process of connecting aspirations
to reality
