Subject: COMMUNICATION/PERSUASION - CONCENTRATION/FOCUS - CONTENTMENT
COMMUNICATION/PERSUASION
"To get your ideas across use small words, big ideas, and short sentences." -- John Henry Patterson
"Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders…Make the fault easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest." -- Dale Carnegie
"The organization that can't communicate can't change, and the corporation that can't change is dead." -- Nido Qubein
"The goal of effective communication should be for listeners to say, 'Me, too!' versus 'So what?'" -- Jim Rohn
CONCENTRATION/FOCUS
"It takes about twenty years, to make an overnight success." -- Denis Waitley
"Determine what specific goal you want to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader." -- Paul J. Meyer
"It's the constant and determined effort that breaks down all resistance and sweeps away all obstacles." -- Claude M. Bristol
"When every physical and mental resource is focused, one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously." -- Norman Vincent Peale
CONTENTMENT
"I am a big believer in the 'mirror test'. All that matters is if you can look in the mirror and honestly tell the person you see there, that you've done your best." -- John McKay
"Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape." -- Dr. Michael McGriffy
"I endeavor to be wise when I cannot be merry, easy when I cannot be glad, content when I cannot be mended and patient when there be no redress." -- Elizabeth Montagu
"When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace." -- J. Lubbock
