Former Secretary of State Colin Powell used to say he
always tries to keep in mind a number of rules or thoughts to live by, which he
has come upon over the years. Here are some of them:
1. It
ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
2. Get
mad, then get over it.
3. Avoid
having your ego so close to your position,
that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
4. Be
careful what you choose. You may get it.
5. Don’t
let adverse facts stand in the way of good decision.
6. Check
small things.
7. You
can’t make someone else’s choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours.
8. Remain
calm. Be kind.
9. Have a
vision. Be demanding. Share credit.
10. Don’t
take counsel of your fears or naysayers.
11.
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
12. It can be done !
