‘Feel the fear and do it anyway.’

can’t remember where it came from. it is something i aim for yet seldom get more than 50% right. (i got feeling the fear down pat tho.)

glad you enjoyed the silly book title list at my TT. that BTW came from an email fwd–an eleven page, 10pt font, single spaced attachment sent to me about four years ago by my sister who, when it was sent to her, remembered how we three sibs as kids would make up these hilarious author/title combos on road trips.

Those are all great pieces of advice! I liked your take on the golden rule– “Treat others how THEY would like to be treated.” I also liked Indra Nooyi’s advice to “always assume positive intent.” I think if more people did this we would all be a lot better off.

My mother would always remind my sister and I that laughter is the best medicine and to look for the good in every situation. I think that’s why #3 is my favorite. Staying positive is the best way to deal with problems. Indra Nooyi lists some good tips in the Time 100 as well. Actually, a lot of those profiled have some great advice and philosophies. It’s a good read.

The best advise I ever got (and at first I didn’t like it, but found it to be so true) is:
“You are responsible for your own happiness”.

Peace

I guess that’s why I am not in business, what lame advice!

The two I live by (and I was actually surprised that someone said the first) is

1) assume positive intent (change the story)

2) Know that the only constant is Change, and be willing to reevaluate.

My T13 is up. Feel free to stop by if you’d like.

Best advice ever a la Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

I love that you read Fortune and would like to hear that story!

Ok, my best advice to others comes from my experience as a P.T./Manager: You can always win an argument with numbers. In fact, if you have the numbers on your side there likely will be no argument.

My other piece of advice comes from poker: Don’t play your hand, play the player.

I think now you need to write a better article then what appeared…
