Short Lessons

Short lessons from Larry Winget:

Do what you know is the right thing to do. And don't kid yourself; you always know the right thing to do. The right thing to do is rarely the easy thing to do.

Everything costs more than you originally thought it would.

Everything takes longer than you originally thought it would.

The more successful you become, the fewer friends you will have.

Stress comes from knowing what is right and doing what is wrong.

Implement now, perfect later.

If you aren't willing to put your money where your mouth is, you don't really believe in what you are doing.

There is no such thing as giving 110 percent. A hundred percent is all there is-you can't give more that all there is; that's why it's called all there is.

People will pay little attention to what you have to say.  Most won't even believe what you have to say.  They will, however, pay attention to see if you believe what you have to say.

Look at the numbers, look at the facts, and then trust your gut.

Knowledge is not power;  the implementation of knowledge is power.

It is impossible to grow without risk.

Don't worry too much about making the right decision.  Just make the decision, and then make the decision right.

What you resist persists.

Everything has a price, including both success and failure.  Choose either one and be prepared to pay the price.

Do the right thing.  No matter what.  Even when it is the unpopular thing.  Even when it is the expensive thing.  Even when it's embarrassing.  And if you have to ask if it's the right thing...it isn't.  You never have to ask whether it's the right thing.  You always know.  So do it!
