(Choose and use whichever strategies fit your goals and situation the best.)

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

	Make requests. Don't complain.
	Surround yourself with people that represent what you want to be like five years from now.
	When motivated to make a difference, take immediate action. Don't wait.
	Refuse to feel sorry for yourself or be a victim of circumstances.
	Don't accept situations as their handed to you. Row your own boat.

STAYING FOCUSED

	Live in "day-tight compartments." Don't try to live your whole life at once.
	If faced with a mistake, failure or tough situation, learn from the experience.

GOOD DECISION-MAKING

Scared? Do it anyway.

RIGHT ACTION

	Accept compliments graciously. Don't minimize or apologize for your achievements.
	Take responsibility and/or blame when it's called for.
	Ask yourself "would my grandmother be proud of my actions?"
	Serve someone in a small way.
	Show respect for others and yourself.
	Accept others' weaknesses, while trusting their competencies. Allow someone more input or impact in projects/group activities.
	Don't cheat. Play fair.
