1. BE PERSISTENT
“Persistent people begin their success where most others quit. Here’s a simple key to success in any area of your life: be known as a person of persistence and endurance. One person with commitment, persistence, and endurance will accomplish more than a thousand people with interest alone.”
2. CONTROL YOUR TIME
“All great achievers understand the value of controlling their time. They know that we human beings have been created equal in this respect: every one of us is privileged with twenty-four hours a day. What we do with each day matters.
Give your best time to your most challenging situation. It’s not how much you do that matters; it’s how much you finish. Here’s a key: Say no. Saying yes when you should say no is one of the biggest reasons for wasting time.”
3. INDECISION IS DEADLY
“Indecision is deadly. Some of the most miserable people are those who can never make a decision. When the mind is in doubt, it is easily swayed by slight impulses, opening the door to many wrong decisions. Many times indecision causes things to go from bad to worse. The middle of the road is a dangerous place to be.”
4. DON’T PROCRASTINATE
“Procrastination is a killer.
When you kill time, you begin to kill ideas and directions God has placed within you. The Living Bible’s version of Ecclesiastes 11:4 says, “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.”
5. DON’T WORRY
“There is a story about a woman who cried profusely while standing on a street corner. A man came up to her and asked why she was weeping. The lady shook her head and replied, “I was just thinking that maybe someday I would get married. We would later have a beautiful baby girl. Then one day this child and I would go for a walk along this street, and my darling daughter would run into the street, get hit by a car, and die.”
It sounds like a pretty ridiculous situation—weeping because of something that will proba
