by Denis Waitley
The world needs role models, instead of critics. Others know when you have their best interests at heart.
You are truly successful when you can extend a strong hand to someone who is reaching out or just trying to hang on.

If I help you win, then I win too!

How to Discover Anyone’s Priorities
If you want to know what a person’s priorities are, observe what they do, not what they say. Because, whether consciously or unconsciously, what they choose to do is what they consider important at that moment.
Many of us jump from one task to another, simply doing what we feel like. Often, there is no correlation between what is important to us and what we actually do. Examine your own life. Is this true for you?
What Is Truly Important In Your Life?
What changes can you make so that you accomplish the things you wish you could get done? First, it’s essential to determine what is important. In other words, what are the priorities in your work and life?
At work, it’s imperative to know the priority of assigned tasks and activities, as well as those projects you seek out. If those priorities are clear, then you know what you should be working on and in what order. Not knowing your priorities will result in bouncing around from task to task, an inefficient and ineffective way to work.
