Words to Live by in These Troubling Times...

[PampChefJoy]

I wanted to share this article that was passed out here at work... as many of you know, I work in financial services, an industry that is getting hammered right now... I found many of these points profound and very applicable to any industry, including PC.

To summarize:
1 Forget about yourself, focus on others.
2 Forget about your commodity, focus on your relationships.
3 Forget about the sale, focus on creating value.
4 Forget about your losses, focus on your opportunities.
5 Forget about your difficulties, focus on your progress.
6 Forget about the “future,” focus on your today.
7 Forget about who you were, focus on who you can be.
8 Forget about events, focus on your responses.
9 Forget about what’s missing, focus on what’s available.
10 Forget about your complaints, focus on your gratitude.

Thank you for sharing this article! I agree that these points are not only applicable to the financial services industry, but to any industry. It's important to remember that in tough times, it's crucial to shift our focus from ourselves to others and to building relationships. Creating value and focusing on opportunities rather than losses is also key. And of course, practicing gratitude is always important. It's a great reminder to stay positive and focused on the present rather than worrying about the future.
