Be Proactive • Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by YOU. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear.
Begin with the End in Mind What do you want to be when you grow up? • That question may seem silly, but think about it for a moment: Are you – right now – on the right path to becoming who you want to be, what you dreamed you'd be, doing what you always wanted to do? Be honest.

Put First Things First • To live a more balanced life, you have to recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay. There's NO need to over work yourself. All it takes is realizing that it's all right to say NO when necessary and then focus on your HIGHEST priorities.
Put First Things First • Important Stuff First • Big Things
Think Win-Win • Everyone Can Win! • Thumb War! • I want to know who the winner was, and how many times he/she won!
Think Win-Win • Win-win is a frame of mind and heart. • We make decisions with other people that help us ALL.

Seek First to Understand,then to be Understood • Listen • Put Yourself in Others’ Shoes • “The only thing that can save us now is sensitivity and compassion.” – Tie My Hands, Lil Wayne • We have 2 ears and 1 mouth. We should listen TWICE as much.
Synergize • Valuing differences is what really drives synergy. Do you truly value the emotional, psychological, and cultural differences among people? Or do you wish everyone would just agree with you? (One word: BORING!) • Differences should be seen as strengths, not weaknesses. They add zest to life!
