THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

The Principles of Gossip

By Catherine Pulsifer

 

Gossip is the greatest abuse of time and energy. Everyone adds on his or her own personal bias, interpretation, and bitterness.

 

We used to play a children's game where we all sat in a circle and one person would whisper a sentence to the next person. By the time it was repeated again to the first person, the sentence was completely different! Gossip is based on the same principle.

 

People who spend their time finding fault or gossiping about others, are certainly not the kind of people you want as friends.

 

Those who gossip to you may also gossip about you. If you can't say anything positive about someone, don't say anything.

 

Nothing productive is ever achieved as a result of spreading, or listening to gossip. Don't waste your time! You can make more productive use of it.

Inspirational Words of Wisdom

Note:  this week's newsletter is being sent early as we are taking a long overdue vacation!! 

To quote Will Wright, "On vacation, I totally unplug. I don't bring a laptop with me."

 

 

QUOTE of the WEEK:

"Isn't it interesting that people feel best about themselves right before they go on vacation?

They've cleared up all of their to-do piles, closed up transactions, renewed old promises with themselves.

My most basic suggestion is that people should do that more than just once a year."

David Allen

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

A Vacation Attitude

By Catherine Pulsifer

 

I get more done in the week before I go on vacation than I do in the previous month.

 

Why?

 

Because I am very focused. I know exactly what must be accomplished before I feel comfortable leaving for vacation.

 

Why can't we have this attitude everyday? The reason is that we know we will be there tomorrow, and we allow, "time wasters" to creep into our day and steal our time. We can be very busy but achieve few results.

 

We need to develop a "vacation attitude" every day by being focused on what we need to accomplish by the end of each day. By focusing on results, we are spending our time wisely. By developing this attitude, we dramatically improve our performance, our productivity and our value to others.

 

Eliminate time wasters by adopting a vacation attitude!

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

Your Example

By Catherine Pulsifer

 

The personal example you set will do more to convince someone than all the eloquent speeches in the world. When you expect others to demonstrate a certain type of behaviour, ask yourself if your behaviour exemplifies what you expect of others.

 

As Oliver Goldsmith once said,

"You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips."

 

If you take a piece of string and push it, it will not go in the direction you want. But, if you take that same piece of string and pull it along, the string will move in the same direction. That principle applies to people. Don't push them along; pull them along by your own actions, your behaviour, your enthusiasm, and your determination. Reflect on the words of Albert Schweitzer,  "Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing."

 

What you do, and how you act,

has more influence on people than what you say!
