I notice ‘Stop And Think’ is a common thread in self-help literature.
On the other hand, maybe I notice it because I am predisposed to finding it?
I notice an array of
Stop And Think recommendations:
- Stop And Think before you act…an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
- Stop And Think before you react…social skills and conflict resolution education
- Stop And Think and Grow Rich1…“what Man can conceive and believe Man can achieve”
One piece of Stop And Think advice really catches my attention:
Stop And Think about how you feel
That is the most powerful piece of Stop And Think advice.
It is most powerful because, with practice, it can be done very quickly, it can yield immediate rewards, and it can solidify long-term success.
