Success In One Role Can't Justify Failure

I Believe That The Habit Of Constant Reading Of Good Books And Scholarly Periodicals And Magazines In Many Disciplines Is Vital To Give A Larger Perspective And To Constantly Sense The Interdependent Nature Of Life.

Principles Are Deep Fundamental Truths... Lightly Interwoven Threads Running With Exactness, Consistency, Beauty And Strength Through The Fabric Of Life.

The 'inside-out' Approach To Personal And Interpersonal Effectiveness Means To Start First With Self; Even More Fundamentally, To Start With The Most Inside Part Of Self, With Your Paradigms, Your Character, And Your Motives. The Inside-out Approach Says That Private Victories Precede Public Victories, That Making And Keeping Promises To Ourselves Recedes Making And Keeping Promises To Others. It Says It Is Futile To Put Personality Ahead Of Character, To Try To Improve Relationships With Others Before Improving Ourselves.

While I Believe In The Power Of Positive Thought, I Do Not Believe That You Or I Can Simply Psyche Ourselves Into Success Or Peace Of Mind.

In The End, Life Teaches Us What Is Important, And That Is Family.
