Friedman’s Top 10 Tips to a First-Rate ’98
- Slip into something less comfortable. Comfort never produced greatness.
- Lose a few arguments. Would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy?
- Simplify your life. He or she who dies with the most ‘toys’ still dies.
- Embrace what’s important. He or she dies with the most ‘joys’ wins.
- Create a “To-Done” list. It is a sure fire way to accomplish everything on your list.
- Smile. It’s the second best thing you can do with your lips.
- Get into it. If you can’t get out of it, get into it.
- Challenge yourself. You don’t have to be sick to get better.
- Think before speaking. A closed mouth gathers no feet.
- Be kind. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
