A recent edition of Fortune Magazine featured a host of successful people including Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, General Colin Powell sharing the in a section entitle The best Advice I ever Got. Here are some that have helped me along the way.
From Anthony Robbins: There is no such thing as success or failure; there are only outcomes. This is very similar to Shakespeare’s There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so. How we label the outcome also determines our approach to dealing with it.
Also from Mr. Robbins: When preparation meets opportunities, luck happens. Too often we are waiting for life to happen to us instead of the other way around. I don’t know the source of this one but it is really good: You have got to be in it to win it.
There is also a story of a blonde who kept praying to win the lottery until finally one day, God said to her: Could you at least buy a ticket? I hope this is not the story of your life. Another one of my favorites is from Eleanor Roosevelt, who said: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Unless we draw our boundaries, people will step al over us. Learn to stand up for what you think is right but do it respectfully and without ego. Last, but not least, this one is from a previous boss: Free advice is worth what you pay for it. There you go.
