MESSAGE #691 - ADVICE FROM A GENIUS


“Don’t keep forever

on the public road.

Leave the beaten

track occasionally

and drive into

the woods.

You will be certain

to find something

that you have never

seen before.

One discovery

will lead to another,

and before you know it,

you will have

something worth

thinking about

to occupy your mind.

All really big

discoveries

are the result

of thought.”


alexander graham bell (1847-1922)

inventor

MESSAGE #690 - DR. FRITZ’S 10 UNUSED KEYS TO SUCCESS

Success today

does not require

sensational new ideas.

It does requires a return

to some fundamental,

but often neglected, principles.

Here are

“10 Unused Keys to Success”

by management expert

Dr. Roger Fritz:


1.The greatest rewards

begin when we change from

“What’s in it for me?”

to “How can I help you?”

(The basis for

true customer satisfaction.)

2. The best motivator

of people is not money

but genuine benefit.

3. To avoid failure

is to limit accomplishment.

(Avoiding failure is not

the same as success.)

4. Confidence grows

with achievement.

5. Always look for

what’s wrong

before who’s wrong.

6. The key to accountability is:

Who will do what by when?

7. Brainpower without willpower

is no power.

8. Cooperation is spelled “WE.”

9. Thinking is the hardest work

there is. Don’t avoid it.

10. Competence without

accomplishment is worthless.

(Intentions have no value

without results.)


THANK YOU, DR. FRITZ!
