A Person is Measured By Their Honesty


A Person is Measured By Their Honesty
“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.”
Thomas Jefferson 1743 - 1826, a Foundering Father, Principal
Author of the Declaration of Independence, Third President
 of the United States   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

A person is measured by their honesty

People will gravitate to an honest person . . . . and disassociate from those that they don’t trust.

In the business world the customer has many choices.  They have a large selection of people to choose from and to do business with. Customers they will choose the person that best fits their needs.

Customers today want low risk providers. They want someone that they can trust . . . . and they see as being honest. They also want a person to deliver on their promises . . . . and make the business relationship as smooth as possible. Customers also want a successful outcome to their business relationships.

Customers do business by the process of elimination, they will elimination. They will not do business with people or companies . . . . that they consider dishonest or unethical or will not fill full their needs.

The customer wants to do business with a person that honest and with good reputation.

In reality the customer is looking out for their best interest and will select a professional that they feel has their best interest at heart. They want a professional to work with them that they have confidence in and one that they see as being honest and with integrity.

Professional has to differentiate them self from the competition and one of the differentiators is in how people see you.  Be seen as a person that’s sincere, honest . . . . and with integrity and you will differentiate yourself.

A person is measured by their honesty and that measurement will separate you in your professional and you will be seen as someone that can be counted on and to do business with.

Idle Mind - Idle Hands


Idle Mind - Idle Hands
“Determine never to be idle. It is wonderful how much
may be done if we are always doing.”
Thomas Jefferson 1943 - 1826, Third U.S. President  
American Founding Father, Principal Author of
The Declaration of Independence 
   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Idle mind - Idle hands

A person who sits and waits for success . . . .  will come to find out the hard way that the success bus doesn’t stop were there sitting.

The only path that waiting for success will take us is down the wrong path. That path is one that leads to frustration and moves us farther away from a successful life and your goals.

Success doesn’t come to those who sit and wait. Success is attracted by the doer in life . . . . the ones that go out and create their own success.

It’s amazing to watch a doer in action; they seem to be in a state of perpetual motion with a focused target to aim for.  They will continually focus on their target . . . . and if they get knocked off course. They will quickly get back on course and continue to move in the direction of their target.

From time to time a doer will slip and fall and experience setbacks  . . . . But they understand that they are temporary and they will remain focused on their goals and work through the challenges that they encounter.  

Idle mind – idle hands waste your time and accomplish very little.  Create a purpose for your life one that will challenge you to stretch yourself beyond to reach. Do everything within your power to stretch yourself to achieve your purpose and your goals and you will look forward to your future.

Act as if the Whole World is Watching


Motivational Power Quote

Act as if the Whole World is Watching
“When you do a thing,
act as if the world were watching.”
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Act as if the whole world is watching

Act as if the whole world is watching you. And you will find that the things that you’re doing will be done with a higher commitment to excellences.

With a commitment to excellence you will raise the bar of your standards for all to see and put your signature of excellences on the things that you do.

Be proud of what you do and let the world judge you by your results.

In taking the approach of doing things as if the world is watching, moves your self-expectations to a new and higher level. As our levels of self-expectation are elevated the level of our performance increase and others will recognize the level of our performance.

When we act as the whole world is watching you, the levels of our excellences will increase and people will see us as an achiever and a doer.

Remain Cool and Composed Under Pressure


Motivational Power Quote

Remain Calm and Composed Under Pressure
“Nothing gives a person so much advantage
very another as to remain always
cool and unruffled under all circumstances.”
Thomas Jefferson, 3th US President


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Remain caim and composed under pressure

Under pressure always remain - the calmest person in the room.

When someone trying to back you into a corner; remain calm and keep your emotions under control.

In a negotiating environment when someone is trying to bully you or take advantage of you remain poised and focused on the solutions.

The person that can stay in control of their emotions stays in control of their circumstances. The person who remains calm in challenging environment creates personal power, and creates an advantage in whatever circumstances they find themselves in.
Remain calm and composed under pressure and you will remain in control of your circumstances.

Honesty is the Foundation of Wisdom

Motivational Power Quote


Honesty is the Foundation of Wisdom

“Honesty is the first chapter
in the book of wisdom.”
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Honesty is the foundation of wisdom.


The person of honesty puts down the solid foundation of attraction; as they do they will receive in direct proportion to what they send out to others.


They are seen as someone that can be counted on and trusted. The world will view you as a person with insight and good judgment.


Honesty is a core value that leads a person to wisdom and is an attribute that other will seek out in a person.
