“When we pick up one end of the stick , we pick the other ”
Success is on one far side of failure .
The 30-Day Test• Work in your circle of influence,
make small commitments and keep it .• Be part of the solution, not part of the problem .• When you have a mistake, admit it, correct it,
learn from it ,and stop blaming . • Look at the weakness of others with compassion, not
accusation . • If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself.
That thought is the problem.

Begin with the end in mind

we really know what is important to us

• There's mental or first creation and physical or second creation to all things.

Three warnings:
Keys to determine your goals• Calculate the cost.
