2. ON MINDLESSNESS ______________________________________________________ How did we become so educated to be trapped in our thoughts? Probably 99% of what we think is about ourselves. It is hard to get my mind in a restful state and not be about something. Milarepa, a Tibetan saint, puts it this way: "When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once." The Coach suggests . . . we should all stop running and just sit down. ______________________________________________________3. ON BEING A GREAT SPEAKER Did you know that great speakers are often nervous with butterflies in their stomach before giving a presentation? Here are a few tips from the pros:
The Coach asks . . do you know what you want your audience to do as a result of your presentation? _____________________________________________________4. ON BEING LIKED
The book, How to Win Friends & Influence People, is often
second only to the Bible in sales. Dale Carnegie outlines - in
very simple steps and examples - how to be nice without letting
yourself get walked on.
The Coach asks . . . are you looking hard enough to find something complimentary about another person? ______________________________________________________ 5. ON TIME There's an old Irish saying, "When God made time, he made plenty of it." We all have the same 24 hours each day, 168 hours each week and 8736 hours a year. It may be the most democratic element in our lives. So how come it doesn't feel that way? How come we often feel we are "out of time?" How come some people accomplish hundreds of complex tasks and others lay buried under a sea of papers and . . . laundry? That's the paradox. The Coach sez . . . I don't have time to think about this anymore. _____________________________________________________6. ON USEFUL WEB SITES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 'This book provides practical and sound advice.
