Take productive action—don’t waste time complaining.
from Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson
Taking productive action is the only way to get yourself out of a bad situation.
How to Apply This
-
*When things go wrong, don’t whine or complain.*
Instead, shake it off and focus your energy on solving your problems. -
*Look to your past and identify the mistakes you’ve made.*
Reflect on them and use them to plan for your future. -
*Remember that others are always moving forward.*
While you’re sitting around and pointing fingers at others, they’re moving toward fixing the problem—they’re leaving you behind. Don’t give them a chance to do that. Fight for your success. -
*There is a difference between activity and productivity.*
Don’t beat a dead horse; come up with a plan that will actually enable you to reach your goals.
