My Golden Rule Of Networking Is Simple:

I Have Never Yet Met A Successful Person Who Hasn't Had To Overcome Either A Little Or A Lot Of Adversity In His Or Her Life. If Life There Is A Lot Of Lumps And Bumps... A Lot Of Throttling Up And A Lot Of Throttling Down.

Worrying About The Past Or The Future Isn't Productive. When You Start Chastising Yourself For Past Mistakes, Or Seeing Disaster Around Every Corner, Stop And Take A Breath And Ask Yourself What You Can Do Right Now To Succeed.

Many People May Listen, But Few People Actually Hear.

As You Schedule Individual Tasks, Give Yourself A Cushion. Mark The Due Date A Few Days Ahead Of The Actual Deadline So You Have Time To Deal With Changes Or Last-minute Emergencies.

Your Day Usually Goes The Way The Corners Of Your Mouth Turn. The Most Powerful Single Thing You Can Do To Influence Others Is To Smile At Them.
