ANYWAY

On the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta was found the following inscription:

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
LOVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfishness.
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies.
SUCCEED ANYWAY.
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY.
What yo spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
BUILD ANYWAY.
People really need help but may attck you if you help them.
HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.

Be a Good Listener

It is not enough to remain silent during conversations-we should also ask questions.
Many people fail to make a favorable impression because they do not listen attentively. They have been so concerned with what they are going to say next that they do not keep their ears open. To be interesting, be interested.


Move to Action
Ask questions that coworkers will enjoy answering, and when they answer, listen to what they are saying.

"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to obtain uncommon results."

"Most of the limitations you think you have are the ones you have decided on. They are often entirely self-imposed. You might think, 'I can't do this, I can't do that, I would never do that, my parents could never do that, I never played baseball, I never climbed a mountain, I never, never, never'... It's the old broken record in your head. Throw out that negative thinking right now! Learn to play a positive message in your head because it's all about attitude."

"I am your constant companion. I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden. I will push you up to success or down to disappointment. I am at your command. Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me. For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably. I am easily managed; just be firm with me. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures... Who am I? I am a habit."
