Effective Personal Life Balancing
Call to Take Responsibility Take responsibility for the circumstances of life
Seek to respond non defensively
Attempt to build mutual success – Win-win solutions
Seek solutions rather than blame
Use persuasion rather than force
Be firm, but not rigid, about personal interests
Think both short term and long term
Be interested in other points of view
Welcome feedback
Talk calmly and directly about difficult issues
Accept responsibility for consequences of actions
Communicate a caring attitude
Seek excellence rather than victory
O.J. Simpson is quoted to have said, “The day you take complete
responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making excuses, that’s the
day you start to the top.”

Most people use about 10% of their potential;
if they use as much as 25%, they are called
geniuses. If we can go from using 10% of our
potential to using 20% we could double our
productivity and still have 80% of our potential
untapped”
