16 Rules to live by

Thanks to Sue Pelletier, MeetingsNet Web editor, mad blogger (Face2Face), and editor of Association Meetings Magazine for including the link to Bob Parson's 16 rules to live by in her blog. The 16 rules:

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
2. Never give up.
3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think.
4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.
5. Focus on what you want to have happen.
6. Take things a day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new.
8. Be quick to decide.
9. Measure everything of significance.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing.
12. Never let anybody push you around.
13. Never expect life to be fair.
14. Solve your own problems.
15. Don't take yourself too seriously.
16. There's always a reason to smile.
