TQ says "Have More Fun"

When Was The Last Time You Had Any Fun?

One great way to cultivate an energetic attitude is to be sure you enjoy what you do. Look for things that are fun to do, and find new ways to have fun at what you're already doing.

Smile and laugh as much as possible. Instead of lunch, why not go to recess?

"An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?"~ Michel De Saint-Pierre

Would You Like To Leave A Message?

A good way to pass along messages without interrupting is to use E-mail or voice mail. When you leave a message, give as much information as possible to reduce phone tag.

Make your voice and electronic mail quick and effective. Before you write or talk, think. Tell the person what specific action or response you need.

"Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time. The best management of our time thus becomes linked inseparably with the best utilization of our efforts."~ Ted W. Engstrom

TQ says "Make Your Tasks Into A Routine"

"Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built."

If You Make A Mistake, Does That Mean You're A Failure?

See mistakes not as failures, but as learning experiences. Whatever you do when you make a mistake, learn from it; and be sure to keep on going.

To be human is to make mistakes. You will stumble and fall from time to time. When you do, get back up.

"If you view all the things that happen to you, both good and bad, as opportunities, then you operate out of a higher level of consciousness."~ Les Brown

The Key to Happiness

"There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants -- more than anything else -- to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are -- and have always been." ~ Joseph Brooks

Goal -- or Change It...

How Much Fuel Is In Your Tank?

When you become genuinely committed to a goal, you automatically become more enthusiastic and motivated to achieve it.

Your goals must capture your passion and set you on fire, or they're not worth a place on your agenda.

"If you're climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don't look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone."~ Donny Osmond
