Colin Powell's Rules

5/14/2009

0 Comments

 

It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks but the writing must go on.  I’ve redefined my relationship with my guy.  I guess you would say we’re more friends now.  Both of us need time to focus on other parts of our lives. I’ve re-connected with my half-sister; she a literary writer that has mastered the art of securing an agent.  (I’m next!!) Well I stumbled across the rules of Colin Powell so I thought I would share them with you.  I think I used his top seven on every day of this week.
 
COLIN POWELL'S RULES


1. It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.

2. Get mad, then get over it.

3. Avoid having your ego so close to your position that, when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

4. It can be done!

5. Be careful what you choose, you may get it.

6. Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

7. You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn't let someone else make yours.

8. Check small things.

9. Share credit.

10.Remain calm. Be kind.

11. Have a vision. Be demanding.

12. Don't take counsel of your fears or naysayers.

13. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
