HABITS


Nothing to do with ancient monks and their clothes, but everything to do with YOU…

The habit of being easily persuaded by mass media

The habit of doing it right rather than well

The habit of responding to cynicism with cynicism

The habit of not trusting those who care

The habit of being late

The habit of avoiding things outside your comfort zone

The habit of doing more than required

The habit of being generous


There are millions of habits out there, some good, some bad, some downright ugly. Every one of them has been formed over time and interaction(s) due to the fact that people got rewarded for it – at least in the short run.

The point is, every habit is changeable – with personal effort.

What are YOU changing?

Until next time (and accentuating the positive ones),

  2. Mark - thank you... yes, I have been slightly "lazy" with the blog but this was NOT for lack of anything to write about, rather some significant (and necessary) changes regarding business (none) and near-term future plans.

    And tackling a most controversial topic in a skillful manner!

  4. Thanks, Lucana. I think your quote is a very good one - it's a nice play from Maugham, but so true.
