Work on your look. Don’t go over the top. It will come across as someone trying too hard. Be yourself but if a new hair style or new clothes make you feel 10 years younger then you got it about right.
Handshake
Teach children how to shake hands. A firm handshake while looking the person in the eye will pay a lifetime of dividends. Tell them “No one is impressed when shaking a dead fish. Squeeze just a little and do the shaking. Look them in the eye and say a nice respectful word and you will improve your chances of getting hired, promoted, or remembered countless times the rest of your life.”

Most people miss the most enjoyable part of the day. Early morning is quiet, still, and the dawn of the day you are going to create.
Strange-Thief
Someone has been breaking into my house and stealing one sock. It’s either stolen in the laundry room or from the dirty clothes hamper. It’s happened several times. They don’t take anything else but sometimes they hide my keys.
Kindness-and-Generosity
Kindness and generosity pushes back darkness.
Light dispels darkness.
So, kindness and generosity can be light.
In darkness there is no kindness or generosity.
We can see when we are kind and generous.

My-Boss-Makes-Life-Miserable
“You have a boss that is a taskmaster.
No matter what you do it is never good enough. You want to quit but haven’t found another job. Stay there, you will learn more about authority and humility under a difficult boss than under a pleasant one. You will be a better person and a better boss yourself sooner than you might think. Change will come suddenly. Respect authority never under cut or back stab. Work well under authority and you will receive authority. Always make those above look good, they will see it and trust you. Your promotion will come right on time.”
No matter how hard you try you never get it right.
Woman-Looking-For-An-Answer
“There is a woman with children who needs to make more money. She has been looking for a franchise she can borrow money to buy. Don’t go down that path. Take a second job doing something you have always dreamed of. Work for a person who has been doing it for years even if you have to work for low pay. There you will find the path you have been looking for. You will be in a successful business in a year.”
Which way do I go?

‘Don’t talk to a “want-a-be” for advice, talk to a “been there and was successful” about it.”
“It takes more than a good idea and hard work to make a new business work.”
