Think BIG
Champions don't win a game by accident. They plan for them. They always begin
the competition with one goal in mind: winning.
Even if the statistics are against them, they still believe they can win the game.
Champions win big because they dream big.
So winning begins in your mind. If you can see yourself as a champion, you
have a great chance of winning. Your attitude makes all the difference.
Apply this principle to other areas of your life. When you think of your future,
think big. Never settle for second best. Decide to study, work or play at your
highest level of achievement.
If you can see it in your mind, you can achieve it. If you want big
achievements, you must have big dreams.

Time is Money
How many times did you say to yourself...
If I have time I'll go. I don't have time to this or that.
If I had more time I would...
The truth is: everyone has the same 1,440 minutes each day. The management of those minutes
is what's important.
Learning how to manage your time is one of the most important skills you will ever develop. Time
must be controlled, or it will control you. Use a daily planner or a palm pilot to help you write
your appointments. Each day spend some time on planning. What goals do you want
to reach today? Make a list. Learn to set priorities. This is not always easy. But this exercise will
make a big difference on how you spend your time. Learn to control your minutes, and
you'll have more hours during the day .

A Goal or a Wish?
If you stop people on the street and ask:
“What do you want to be doing one year from now ?”
“ Where do you want to be three years from now?”
“What are your plans for the future ?”
Very few people will have an answer for you. If you don’t know where you're going,
how will you know when you get there? This means that you need to determine
in advance where you want to be so that you can make proper plans to get
there. Your goals should not be so easy that you can reach them without effort. But
they can’t be too difficult, so that you end up frustrating yourself . You
must have a long-term goal and then divide this goal into smaller goals. Finally, remember
to write your goals. A goal not written is only a wish.

substance makes you feel good. If you are in a bad mood, you will automatically
feel better. So, laughter is a natural antidepressant.
Don’t stop your laughter. Laugh a lot each day. It's a great remedy for your
health.
Laughter can help you deal with disappointment, frustration or despair.
Laughter is contagious. Laughter is a therapy.

See the BIG PICTURE
Three men were doing the same kind of job and they were asked:
“What kind of work do you do ?” The first man answered: “I am laying bricks, one after
the other.” The second man answered: “I am building a wall.” The third man answered: “I am
building a cathedral that will last for centuries.” As you see, the work the three
men were doing was the same.
But each man had a different vision, understanding, and attitude regarding his work. Your
life is very similar to this story. You hear the alarm clock. You wake up . You get up . You
take a shower. You brush your teeth. You comb your hair. You go to school . You go to work,
come back home, answer your emails, watch some TV, go to bed and start all over
again. Try to see the big picture behind everything you do. If you can see a purpose in your
daily activities, your work will be more pleasant. Have a positive attitude toward your
school, job and people around you. This will affect others and most importantly, it will affect you.

dog to the veterinarian because it was sick after eating the book. Friday I had many emails

at the fabric factory where I worked as a production supervisor.
Upon arriving there I noticed there were several workers outside and it took me a few

Reputation
Reputation is the opinion people have about you based on the choices you have made.
When those choices are morally correct, it will be said that you are a person of integrity.
You can’t buy integrity with money. You can't buy honesty with money .
You can't buy a reputation with money. You don't gain a good reputation instantly. You
get it day by day, month by month, and year by year . You get it decision by decision
- individual choices you have made about your attitudes and actions.
If you want to be a person of integrity, follow these three rules: Keep your word.
Show respect toward others. Live by a high moral standard.
Finally, you’ll never get a reputation with what you intend to do, only with
what you have already done.

you still have to eat? Of course you do. You have to eat every day of your life to be
healthy. Your body needs nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.
The same way your body can't go without food , your mind also needs to receive
knowledge to be healthy. You're never too old to learn. The best way to receive
knowledge is by reading . You can know what is happening in your world if you
stop and read the newspaper for a few minutes each day. You don't have to read every
word or every line in the newspaper to know what’s in it . Select topics that are
more interesting to you. If you know how to read but don't read, you have no
advantage over an individual who doesn't know how to read.

Punctuality
Punctuality is one characteristic of successful people. Are you usually
on time for your appointments?

When you’re on time for a meeting , you show that you care
about the person you're meeting with. You show your respect for the other person's time.
When you’re late for an appointment, you're saying by your actions that your
time is more valuable than the other person's. Being punctual tells something else
about your character. It says : “I'm a person of my word.” When you promise to be
somewhere at a certain time, your effort to be there is a sign that you
keep your promises.
On the other hand, if you are conducting a meeting, remember to start it on time,
regardless of who is present. This is a sign of respect for those that have arrived on time.
Listening

What I did this morning

I had an important meeting this morning and needed to be on time. But I
woke up late so I just put on my clothes, brushed my teeth and ran like crazy to
the bus stop. When I was on the bus, I noticed something strange was happening;
it was almost empty, there were only four or five people and they were not the
ones I usually see there. I thought to myself “Maybe I took the wrong bus”, but
the number was right. I decided to spend that 15 minute trip reading the report
for the meeting. It was a good decision. I finally arrived at the office and, to my
surprise, there wasn’t anybody there, it was closed! I called my boss, it took some
time for him to answer “What happened?” and I said “That’s what I want to
know! The meeting will start in 15 minutes and there is nobody here.” “Are you
