These are my ideas that guide my thinking. These are insights that I have gained over the years. Although the advice is not necessarily unique, it is relevant. Maybe something here may help you too.
- You can not have a rational conversation with an irrational person.
- Some people (or organizations) are the way that they are because that is how they want to be. You can not help someone that does not want your help.
- Not every battle is worth fighting. Save your energy for the things that matter and let the other stuff go.
- You can learn something from everyone and every situation... even if it is how NOT to behave.
- Treat everyone with respect.
- Someone else's bad behavior does not give you an excuse to also behave badly.
- Do the right thing... even when the right thing may not be the best thing for you.
- Know your own priorities and act accordingly.
- Just because you can does not mean that you should. Trust others to do their part. And know when to say "no"!
- Take time to enjoy the journey. It is not just about the destination.
