Techniques for balance

• Forgiveness does not mean permission to continue to hurt you.
  
  
• An unhappy employee will create a plethora of unhappy customers. Paying an unhappy employee more money merely creates a wealthier, unhappy employee.
  
  
• When you have a complaint, speak only to someone with the authority to remedy the issue, and be specific about what’s bothering you and what you’d like done to correct it.
  
  
• Don’t be intimidated by doctors in the examining room. Write your questions out ahead of time if that helps. (And never be intimidated by a doctor in a social situation.)
  
  
• The truly needy people are those constantly sticking their heads into photos in which they simply don’t belong.
  
  
• Don’t be reluctant to walk out of an unenjoyable or offensive experience. Many people have wasted months of their lives by sitting through second acts when the first act was already a disaster. It’s not like you’re getting your money’s worth by staying!
  
  
• Don’t feel like an amateur, you’re better than that. If a millionaire tennis player or golfer requires complete silence when they perform to avoid distraction, how good can they be?!
  
  
• If you don’t have friends who are unafraid to tell you when you’ve blown it, overstepped, or were lazy, then you don’t have enough friends.
  
  
• Making a public declaration (about weight loss, performance, goals, etc.) will increase your discipline, since your ego is now in play.
  
  
• If you want true and continuing respect, lead from the front, don’t push from the back.
