People With Good Work Habits Have To-do Lists That Are Reasonably Prioritized, And They Make Themselves Do What Needs To Be Done. By Contrast, People With Poor Work Habits Almost Randomly React To The Stuff That Comes At Them, Or They Can't Bring Themselves To Do The Things They Need To Do But Don't Like To Do (or Are Unable To Do).

This Is My Year Of Transition From What I'm Calling The Second Phase Of My Life To The Third Phase Of My Life. And I Wanted To Pass It Along. What I Mean By That Is, In The First Days Of Your Life You're Dependent On Others And You Learn. You're Basically A Kid, Depending On Your Parents. In The Second Phase Of Your Life, You're Working And Others Are Dependent On You And You're Trying To Be Successful. And Then When You Go To The Third Phase Of Your Life It's No Longer As Much Of A Kick To Be Successful. There's A Natural, Instinctual Desire To Help Other People Be Successful.

I Think The Greatest Tragedy Of Mankind Is That People Have Ideas And Opinions In Their Heads But Don't Have A Process For Properly Examining These Ideas To Find Out What's True. That Creates A World Of Distortions.

For Every Mistake That You Learn From You Will Save Thousands Of Similar Mistakes In The Future, So If You Treat Mistakes As Learning Opportunities That Yield Rapid Improvements You Should Be Excited By Them. But If You Treat Them As Bad Things, You Will Make Yourself And Others Miserable, And You Won't Grow.

I've Learned That Each Mistake Was Probably A Reflection Of Something That I Was (or Others Were) Doing Wrong, So If I Could Figure Out What That Was, I Could Learn How To Be More Effective.
