Have a Vision

“Begin with the end in mind.” Always start with a clear vision of your goals—whether it's a business, a personal target, or a life plan.

Be Proactive

Take charge of your life. Focus on what you can control, act with intention, and take responsibility in both personal and professional areas.

Set Priorities

Success depends on managing time wisely. Organize tasks by urgency and importance, and always plan ahead.

Think Win-Win

Success doesn’t need to be at someone else’s cost. Aim for mutual benefit—your win and theirs.

Make Teamwork a Habit

Highly effective people see teamwork as essential, not optional. Sometimes, progress means rowing together.

Give and Take

“Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” Respect is mutual—listen first, speak later.

Keep Improving

“Sharpen the saw.” Never stop learning or growing—continuous improvement is key to long-term success.
