KEY MESSAGES TO TAKE FROM THIS SECTION

  • Believe in yourself – because if you don’t, why should anyone else?
  • Your most valuable asset is yourself. Invest in your own professional, social and cultural development.
  • Never con yourself as to the reality of the situation. While you may encourage others to believe that perception is reality, you must always remember that truth is reality.
  • Properly applied time management is the only way to increase your productivity.
  • Avoid symptom management. If you only tackle the symptoms, you will never eradicate the problem.
  • Be open to new ideas and the possibility that you got it wrong.
