50 Habits of Successful

People

(Habits 44-47)

44. They don’t rationalize failure. While many are talking about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics, their ‘bad luck’, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good reasons to fail), they are finding a way to succeed despite all their challenges.

45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy what they have in their life and to have fun.

46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s not who they are, it’s what they do.

47. They are more interested in effective than they are in easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut), they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over the long term.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Brave Young Baseball Fan

Ian  from the video chosen the right. In return he got so many rewards. He felt good inside when he gave the little kid the ball back. Not only was he recognized for his good deeds but he was rewarded for them. He got four free tickets and a signed baseball bat signed from his favorite player. I think that the kid deserved that reward. He could have just as easliy took the ball home with him. He was brave for putting someone elses's happiness before his own.

50 Habits of Successful

People

(Habits 31-35)

31. They are secure. They do not derive their own sense of worth of self from what they own, who they know, where they live or what they look like.

32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure in helping others achieve.

33. They are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologize. They are confident in their ability, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory.

34. They are adaptable and embraced change, while the majority are creatures of comfort and habit. They are comfortable with, and embrace, the new and unfamiliar.

35. They keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well. They are not all about looks, they are more concerned with function and health. Their body is not who they are, it’s where they live.
