Never compromise your integrity for anyone or anything.
-
Don't try to be all things to all people. Learn to say no politely and pleasantly, but immediately and firmly.
-
Never wait for something to happen; make it happen! Do it now!
-
Do not be overwhelmed by the tasks before you. Don't try to do everything; just do something.
-
To accomplish your objective, first begin. Secondly, concentrate exclusively on the project at hand. Third, don't stop.
-
Concentrate on long-term, permanent solutions rather than stop gap measures.
-
Don't waste time telling people what you are doing or what you are going to do. Results have a way of informing the world.
-
Don't make promises you can't keep; once made, keep them.
-
Don't become lax; play every point as though it were matching point.
-
Avoid premature celebrations. You are not through till the check has cleared the bank.
