“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” – Nathan Hill
The Most Important Tasks
“The most valuable tasks you can do each day are often the hardest and most complex. But the payoff and rewards for completing these tasks efficiently can be tremendous. For this reason, you must adamantly refuse to work on tasks in the bottom 80 percent while you still have tasks in the top 20 percent left to be done. Before you begin work, always ask yourself, ‘Is this task in the top 20 percent of my activities or in the bottom 80 percent?’ The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place. Once you actually begin work on a valuable task, you will be naturally motivated to continue. A part of your mind loves to be busy working on significant tasks that can really make a difference. Your job is to feed this part of your mind continually.” – Brian Tracy

Decision and Implementation
“The value in any decision is in its implementation. You can’t spend money you are ‘going to make someday.’ You can’t enjoy books you only ‘intend to read.’ And you can’t live on memories of ideas you once had. Remember Yoda, the pint-sized Jedi from Star Wars. He told Luke Skywalker, ‘Do, or do not. There is no try.’ They did not call him a Jedi master for nothing.” – Nido Qubein

I Choose to Feel Good About Myself
“I choose to feel good about myself. That way I am more open to learning. If people give me negative feedback or criticize something I do, I don’t interpret what they are saying as meaning that I am a ‘bad’ person. The belief that I control my own self-esteem permits me to listen to and hear their feedback in a non defensive way – looking to see if there is something I can learn.” – Ken Blanchard
