Sales and motivation expert Zig Ziglar said, "You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

US President Harry S Truman said, "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."

What do you think?

Do you think you must give before you get? 

Do you think success is defined in terms of:

(a) the things you receive?

(b) the credit you receive?

(c) both?

(d) none of the above?

Let's assume both Zig Ziglar and Harry Truman are right. Under that assumption, people will maximize the chance of obtaining everything they want in life by helping others obtain what they want and allowing others to take credit for their achievements. 

Let's assume both Zig Ziglar and Harry Truman are wrong. Under that assumption, people should not make an effort to help others obtain the things they want and people should not be concerned about who gets credit when successes are achieved.

Of course, there is middle ground: people can help others from time to time and allow others to receive credit for their successes from time to time.

How do you want to behave...what are Good Habits and what are Bad Habits?

Consider your past experiences...

Has anyone ever stolen one of your ideas and presented it to the boss?...how did you feel when that happened?

Has anyone ever helped you achieve something you desired?...how did you feel when that happened?
