General Colin Powell has a list of things he lives his professional life by.
They are good rules for everyone. Here they are:
1. It’s not as bad as you think. It will look better later.
2. Get mad, then get over it.
3. Avoid attaching your ego to your position,
so when your position falls you won’t fall with it.
4. Never let style overpower substance.
5. Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
6. Triple-check the small things.
7. Share credit.
8. Remain calm. Be kind.
9. Don’t let your fears be your only counsellor.
10. Optimism and enthusiasm are force multipliers.
