He's always loved painting, but he's an only child and he isn't sure if he can make enough money at it to support his parents. They want him to keep his accounting job. • Trisha is doing well at a job she loves, but one of her coworkers is overly aggressive. This colleague takes credit for group work and he often speaks badly about others. Trisha is worried that the coworker has said bad things about her to their boss and may hurt her chances at a promotion.

Imagine it! • You're at a reunion • You've been very successful in acheiving your ambitions • Go up and "re-acquaint" yourself with students from other tables • "I know we've met before. My name's ____. How have you been?" • Ask about: • Families • Careers • Travels • Anything else!

  8. Red, Yellow, Green • Pick one very important ambition • Write down one thing you can do today to help it to come true • Write down one thing you need to stop doing to acheive this • Write down one habit to help you complete the journey • "If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
