Key Ideas Of Working

58. Don’t Be Too Quick to Comment.
Think before you speak. Refrain from giving unnecessary and

counterproductive comments.

59. Let Go of “Personality Clashes.”
Learn to accept that most of the time, you won’t be able to

choose the people you work with. You must respect other

people’s differences and not allow other people’s personalities

to affect you negatively.

60. Don’t Get Stressed by the Predictable.
Learn to deal with predictable stressful situations. Make

allowances for the inevitable and you will eliminate a lot

of stress.

61. Stop Procrastinating.
Don’t put off things until the last minute. Start tasks a little

earlier.

62. Confront Gently.
Sooner or later, you will have to confront someone. Do so

in a gentle and yet firm way. Assume that you will be able to

work things out.

63. Remember the Three R’s.
Be responsive, receptive, and reasonable.

64. Get Out of the Grumble Mode.
Get a sense of humor. Once again, you shouldn’t take things

too seriously.

65. Get It Over With.
Don’t save the worst for last. Don’t postpone or procrastinate

the inevitable, no matter how unsavory it might be.

66. Don’t live in an Imagined Future.
Refrain from dwelling on how much better your life would be in

the future. Also, do not worry about how terrible it is going to

be for you a few days from now.
You are giving up the present for events and situations that

might not even happen.

67. Make Someone Else Feel Good.
Remember the old adage: “If you want to feel good about yourself,

make someone else feel good.”

68. Compete from the Heart.
Competition is not a bad thing. You should compete hard and

yet be able to enjoy yourself and give back to society. Compete

because you love what you
do.
