Put First Things First
Put First Things First
Successful people are often the ones who can do what needs to be done rather than doing what they want.
They realize that this must happen in order for them to reach their goals.
We can see a good example of that right now: some students are completing their school work and others are putting it off.
Are you "putting first thing first"? Are you doing what needs to be done or are you doing what you need to do?

Think Win Win means everyone can win. Instead of just you or me - it means both of us.
We work together to find a solution that benefits everyone one involved. We all give a little to create a situation where everyone can be happy.
We will use integrity and maturity to search for the best outcome for everyone. It is not always just about what best for me. It's what is best for everyone!
