Copy & Paste : Do it carefully

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his Audience. He Said: "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!"

The audience was in silence and shock. The speaker added: "And that woman was my mother!"

Laughter and Applause!!!

A week later, a top manager trained by the Motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke At home. He was a bit foggy after a drink. He said loudly to His wife who was preparing dinner, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my Wife!"

The wife went; "ahhhh!" with shock and rage.

Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second Half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "...and I can't remember who she was!"

By the time the manager regained his consciousness, he was on a hospital bed nursing burns from boiling water.

Moral of the story...

19. Start Early, Go Slowly and Reach Safely

From childhood everyone heard and enjoyed the story of Hare and Tortoise and now how many of us remember the moral of the story?

We almost forgot all those great classics imbibed into stories and educated most of us. Today being pushed practically impossible targets and always on calculators we need to slow down and if possible re-read those old classics which gives best clues for management.

I knew a company into some retail business for more than a century, who are always adept of the business, but expansion is relatively slow compared to new genre joint ventures who rapidly multiplied the stores and reduced their own margins. This is the reason, if you know the tagline,

You'll lead better if you slow down. You'll get more done, too.

It doesn't seem like it would be true. It doesn't seem like slowing down would get that much more done. But it does. Every day you do it, you will get more done. Every day you experiment with slowing down, you will understand the truth behind the legend of the tortoise and the hare.

The most important element of slowing down is to know that you're always working on the right thing to be working on at any given time. Business consultant Chet Holmes says that he and his clients accomplish that by making sure each day has only six things on the Must Do list. That list lets them slow down.

If I am on the wrong road, it doesn't matter how good I get at speeding down the road. It's still the wrong road.

I need to remind myself of this: Slow down and win. I need to take my sweet, gentle time. I want this conversation ahead of me to be relaxed and strong so that the relationship I have becomes relaxed and strong. So all day, it helps to tell myself: Slow down. Even slower than that.


Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence----- Albert Einstein

18.Give Attention to Attention

Anything you pay attention to expands. It grows.
Pay attention to your garden plants and they grow. Pay attention to your wife and you never fall in any tussle, Pay attention to your child and there would be no complaints throughout the life from them. Pay attention to your favorite cause, and your passion and knowledge will grow the success of that cause. Attention is like that. Anywhere you direct it; the object of that attention grows.
Attention is powerful. Yet most people allow their attention to be pushed and pulled around all day long by outside forces.
Your attention is like money. It is a precious treasure. It is paid in to things. We say pay attention for a reason. It is invested. It gets paid in to whatever you choose to pay it in to. If you pay it in to the things you want (measurable, numerical outcomes and specific results), you will get more and more of what you want.
When you talk to members of your team, keep paying attention to the results you want, not the effort to achieve them. When you praise your managers, pay attention to results they achieved that you wanted, not the trying, the effort, or the attempt to do it.

Most managers miss this vital point: they keep rewarding the "trying," not realizing that doing so sends the subconscious message that "trying" is always enough. Their people soon think that if they can show they're making efforts, if they can show activity, then there won't be so much focus on end results.
Make sure you reward end results more than anything else like trying, the effort, or the attempt to do it.If you do so, you'll get better end results. You have to be the one who keeps talking numbers if you want that one person to hit his numbers.
If, instead, you commiserate with how hard everything is, and you acknowledge how hard everyone is trying, then that's what you'll get: fewer results and more trying. Whatever you praise, grows.
Always. It's the law of the harvest.
