COT:

Each day I can make the world a little bit better or a little bit worse. When you are treated poorly the temptation is there to give back what you receive. However you can alternatively rise and be the bigger person.

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor in around 160 A.D. He was the father of Commodus from the Gladiator movie, and unfortunately the apple fell far from the tree. Aurelius wrote a book called “Meditations” which was a diary of sorts. It ended up being copied and published, and we still have it today. Here’s a quote from it:

“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”

COT:

If you are not already making $200,000 compensation in your job, there are five steps to getting you there.

Summary:

(1) Do everything you say you are going to do.

(2) Manage your boss and colleagues — don’t make them spend time managing you.

(3) Proactively help the organization.

(4) Be positive (don’t complain). Be a “yes, and” person.

(5) Report to someone making over $200k.

(3) Proactively help the organization.

The best employees take action. They are extremely action-oriented. If you see a problem, fix it. If you see an opportunity, go grab it. If it involves getting resources, understand the organization’s trade-offs. Do not wait to be assigned something. Do not wait to get the core priority from the big boss. Ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Determine what needs to be done to help the organization and set things in motion to achieve the goals. And this need not be the defining thing that propels an organization forward. It can be a really small thing (like ordering extra toilet paper for the bathrooms). Look to solve problems.

[JR] Bettering Others! Being of Service; serve your customers & employees. Providing Value to Others.

How can I teach & serve?!?

Asking for Forgiveness can be hard for people. But, in general, people appreciate the efforts & the action and don’t mind Forgiving.

• [Asking for forgiveness is common thing for YHC. But, bottom line, is that we need to push & thrive for the things we want. Map out a plan of attack, seek help as needed, and get things done.]
• [BE OF SERVICE TO OTHERS!]
