“Building Your House”

A carpenter was preparing to retire. He tells the company he works for he was through building houses. They ask him to build one more house before he retires. He agrees and through the process of building this last house he begins to cut corners, uses cheaper materials, doesn’t use the same precision he was known for and, basically, builds an inferior home. When he’s done he gives the keys to his boss and says, "Here you go, I’m done." The boss returns the keys and says, "Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this company. This home is yours and we appreciate you." Obviously, had the carpenter known he was building his own house he would not have cut corners.

EVERY DAY .... IN EVERYTHING YOU DO .... WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT .... YOU "BUILD YOUR OWN HOUSE" ....

WHAT KIND OF HOUSE ARE YOU BUILDING TODAY????

Setting Goals

“The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.” Denis Waitley, author of The Psychology of Winning

Excellence

“Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.”

Practice

“Practice what you don’t know more than what you do know. It’s easy to practice something you’re already good at, and that’s what most people do. What’s tough is to go out and to work hard on the things that you don’t do very well.”
