MANAGEMENT

"United we stand. Divided we fall." Do you believe that? If you do, then what can we say about our community of human beings who share space on this tiny planet we call Earth? We, as a group, are pretty poor managers. Imagine what we could accomplish if we actually made a commitment to work together. Imagine what we could accomplish if we decided that whatever our differences, they are less important than our common goals? Imagine if we managed our world the way a company or a family manages itself (usually). I'm not speaking for any political agenda, just something to keep in mind as various issues come up.

Ever thought of getting even? Sure, we all have. It's a natural instinct we all have as human beings. She did that to me, just watch what I'll do to her. But have you ever thought of just how "getting even" will make anything better for you? Getting even does nothing for you, except put you in the same low standing as you have just identified the other person to be.

RELATIONSHIPS

They are Fragile. Handle with care.
Yes, that's the sign on every one of our relationships. Our friends. Our partners. Our colleagues. Relationships are fragile, as misunderstandings and bruised egos can easily break them.
Just the lack of handling with care can signal to somebody that you do not care (no surprise there!) and call into question the value of the relationship.
Show you care. That's the top job in any relationship.
Say it. Show it. Do it.

APPRECIATION

•So, how appreciative are you of the things you have? How much do they contribute to your happiness? It's a very important question, because we all have so many things, so may skills, so many opportunities, etc. And we all have pretty lengthy wish lists. In some cases, we are even thinking, "If only..., then I would be happy" Fill in the blank as you wish. But first we must ask ourselves if we are appreciating what we already have, because it is a sure bet that if we don't appreciate what we already have, we won't be much more appreciative of what we are now hoping/wishing/asking for.

MISTAKE

It's OK. Whatever you've done, it's OK. Whatever mistake you have made, it's OK. Whatever, error or insult or embarrassing thing you said or did or even thought...it's OK. You are human and you are programmed to make mistakes. If you have hurt someone, make amends. If you broke something, fix it. If you made a mess, clean it up. If your mistake caused no harm, then let it go, You don't need to hold onto a mistake a moment longer than is needed to make amends. This line bears repeating. You don't need to hold onto a mistake a moment longer than is needed to make amends. If you are one to hold on to your mistakes, print this line out and place it where you can't miss it.
