Anticipating the future to create success
by Jane-Michèle Clark
Change is a part of life – and a part of business. As we learn more, as progress gets made, and events (good and bad) unfold, business needs change.

Have you noticed that the most effective worker is generally the busiest?
by Napoleon Hill

“Oh good, they’re gone”
by Jane-Michèle Clark
We all have people who come in and out of our lives. True friends are the ones you can count on for a 2:00 a.m. emergency. They are the ones who will lend you money without making it hard, watch your kids in an instant and hold your hand while you put your dog to sleep....

"Remember that no one is ever rewarded..."
by Napoleon Hill
"Remember that no one is ever rewarded or promoted because of a bad disposition and a negative mental attitude." ~ Napoleon Hill
If you really examine any well-managed organization, you will find that the people who are most successful are those who are positive and helpful, people who always find the time to offer encouragement and praise when it is deserved. The people who occupy the top positions are almost always happy, enthusiastic people who encourage others to behave in the same way. ...

Bankers often lend money on character, but seldom on reputation alone, for they have learned that not all reputations are deserved.
by Napoleon Hill
When considering a loan, a banker attaches great importance to three things: the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the borrower’s credit history, and the borrower’s character. The first two considerations can be calculated mathematically; the third requires judgment and experience. Prudent bankers have learned that persons of character are always a good risk because they take their obligations seriously while those who spend their resources on the trappings of success should be avoided at all costs. ...

Politeness usually begins at home or it doesn’t begin at all
by Napoleon Hill
Politeness to others is usually born out of respect for the individual, which you learn as a child. When you are treated with respect by other members of the family, you learn to respect them as well. The self-esteem that results from being recognized as a unique person by the people who matter most to you helps you develop the confidence necessary to succeed later in life. Politeness and conside...

"A great attitude does much more..."

The Cracked Pot
by Anonymous
In India there was a water bearer who had two large pots; each hung on opposite ends of a long, wooden pole that he carried across his shoulders. One of the pots was perfectly made; it had a graceful shape and never leaked. The other pot was a little misshapen and had a crack in it....

Today's Upsets Are Tomorrow's Laughs
by Allen Klein
In looking for humor, keep in mind this guideline: Sometimes it takes a little time to see the humor in your upsets; you may not find something to laugh about immediately.
H. G. Wells once said, "The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow." Some of our most trying moments turn into laughing matter when we look back at them. Things that seemed unbearable at...
