Be a Real Dude. Dude

There is nothing worse then having to work with someone who plays tit for tat games, behaves in a spiteful manner, and is untrustworthy- you know the type of individual that you have to have sign 50 agreements in order for them to do the right thing. Nobody wants to work with someone like that.. In other words, don’t be a sensitive drama queen- KEEP IT REAL- treat people how you want to be treated, do not take or expect anything that you did not work for, admit when you make a mistake, and do whats right whether its in a signed contract or not.

Adversity? Just smile.

Smile. Any challenge, hardship or whatever is only going to make you stronger (and you really have no choice but to deal with it so you might as well smile).

Teddy who was known as a the Bull Moose was wrought with illness as a child and I am not even going to begin to go into detail what all of these leaders had to endure in their lives. But nonetheless- every adversity they faced only made them stronger and better leaders. So nowadays when things are hard I have taught myself to simply smile and say “this is only going to make me better and stronger”.
