In my opinion this book talks about a utopian work place. Where all the people that are involved want to achieve this environment. It is not reality, and no matter how much you try there will always be at least one negative person there. It is a good basis on to get ideas you can modify to a more realistic set. Go to it with this set of mind as to not feel unmotivated to work towards a better version of yourself

It is important to be aware enough of the risks to able to confront them and not let them stop us. Focus on the goal, and change the path whenever it has to.

Be positive. Add. Stay focus. See the good. See the intention. See the strenght, work, effort.
Stop looking for mistakes and what you are lacking.

The moment you think that in order to be better everyone else has to be worse is the moment you fail as a human being.

If you cant be happy with someone else's achievement without making it about yourself, you fail as a human being

Dont be selfish, get better by simply being better

Don't let yous fears be the fears of someone else, if they want something accomplished let them do it, let them fall, let them make mistakes.

Your job as a leader is to find the potential in others and help them achieve becoming the best version of themselves

Figure out what your roles are in life, prioritize them. Give them your all when they need to be given your all. Dont try to pay attention to all of them at the same time, give them the importance that is needed. And remember that you are the only one that decides what this means for you

blurb

Never forget that you are important. You need to give youself time and energy. You need to put yourself first. You need to think about you. If you are a good person, the best version of yourself, you automatically help society be better

It may be money, it may be love, it may be family, it may be traveling, it may be whatever you want.. only you decide what success means for you. Stop living your life how society dictates, not everyone finds happiness in: getting married, having a house and raising a child.

Being the best at a job is not enough, you have to be a team player. If you are constantly creating a toxic environment you are not the right person for the job

There is a saying that experience trumps education and I think that is the laziest excuse ever to better yourself. Experience is important, but education and training is mandatory. You don't have to have a degree, but you do have to keep training and keepong your knowledge up to date if you want to compete. You knowing how to do a job is not enough, you have to know how to make your job better

You can't expect people believe in you just because you promise a result. You have to prove that your words are fundamented on something. You have to be competent on the field you are making the promise and you have to have the necessary character to not give up on achieving the goal

We all say we want to be respected, and the normal questions are: what are you doing to be respected? How do people see you right now?

But I think the most important question should be: why do you want to be respected?

Wheb you change the way you think, and start seeing the thousand opportunities that life gives you ibstead of the 10 problems that you have, you will achieve the goal of life: being happy

How many times have we blamed everything/everyone around us for what goes wrong? It is never our fault. It was the weather, my coworker, my father, etc.

It is always the fault of our reaction to whatever happens to us, if you choose to be positive, even in the worst moment, you will find the light to achieve whatever you want

Never make decisions in the heat of the moment. Strong emotions don't let you see the full picture. Calm yourself, relax, breathe, be objective

A human being has the capacity to learn, change and adapt until he dies. Age is not an excuse

Dont be afraid, dont give up. Making mistakes means you are learning what doesn't work on getting to your goal. Be brave, go for it

See things from other perspectives before you make a judgement. Maybe the fact that you keep doing things the way that has always been done is why you are not getting different results

blurb

Sometimes we are so close minded that when things dont go our way in excatly how we think it should be done, we just assume it is wrong and wont get the results.

Learn to believe that there are a lot of ways to achueve a goal, yours is not the only one

Use glasses with the right prescription

If you don't:
You act based on incorrect information
You dont get the correct results
You feel ridiculous when you realize that your version of the truth is limited and wrong

First page of the book and I already feel attacked 🤣
