Here's your Fresh Idea (from Lyn Conway) for Thursday, November 13th


"It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success." ~David Feherty, Former European Tour and PGA Tour Professional Golfer, Writer and Broadcaster

How do you respond when something goes wrong? Do you throw up your hands, feel sorry for yourself and say, "Why me?" Or do you take a deep breath and figure out what went wrong and what you need to do to fix it? Alter your attitude and you can alter your life!
 
Thanks! As Linda said...good reminder.
 
I love her "fresh ideas":)
 
In my job nothing ever went by a plan, so a constant change in plan was more a normal event. I like to think of myself as a constant adjuster. I seem to work within any guidelines and change at the drop of a hat. I think if we can all accept change and encourage it we would be able to adapt to any situation daily.
