Seek to Stay Sharp
When Stephen Covey wrote his now famous book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he included an entire chapter entitled, Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw.
Covey defined this, in part, as follows, “Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal…”

objective. So we set out to identify one goal for 2012.
Now it’s time to divide by four.
Just One More Thing

Using that data, we committed to look ahead to 2012 this week. And so there is just one more thing to do this year: set our goals for 2012.
Every Life has Value
(first) Back (then) To The Future
As we approach year-end many of us are beginning to look ahead to the new year.
