Better to fix the problem than to fix the blame.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Winners seek solutions and think of better places.

Losers agonize over problems and fear uncertainty.

Organized people get more done; disorganized people get more stress.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When we are disorganized we make more errors and errors cause more work...and sometimes cause other people to have negative reactions...and then there is more stress.

Disorganization = more errors = more fixing of errors = repeated work = annoyed people = more stress.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Weak [or unaware] people think problems are troubling obstacles, which Misfortune delivers to injure us and beat us down.

Strong [and aware] people know problems are the necessary tests encountered along the road to meaningful success.

Sometimes old sayings go too far.

If you can teach yourself some new tricks then you can teach old dogs new tricks.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When people find themselves in situations they cannot control their reaction is, naturally, one of discomfort. For some people, the discomfort is extreme. This discomfort often leads to thoughts and actions that lead to dysfunction, stress, and a host of other negative things. 

We can learn how to do better than that.

When you know defeat has arrived muster your courage and take one more step ahead.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

As Napoleon Hill said, "Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit".

and

"When faced with defeat the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of people do. More than 500 of the most successful people America has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them."
