I'm not tremendously enthusiastic about "top ten" lists, but here is interesting food for thought as you think about your new year. (Note: I always set aside quiet time during these couple of weeks at the end of the year to reflect on what I've done and where I'd like to go for the next year. I recommend the practice.)
Got a press release about a new book by a certain Grandmaster Y.K. Kim, "Winning is a Choice" (Hatherleigh Press, $24.95, 2005). I have not read the book, but I think I'll look for it. At any rate here is Kim's top ten list of suggestions:
1. Smile - Winning always begins with a smile.
2. Eat and drink wisely - The saying, "You are what you eat," is absolutely true. The purer your body, the purer you will be.
3. Exercise daily - Exercise cleanses both your body and your mind, keeping you ready for winning.
4. Focus on the positive - By focusing on the positive, you will feel encouraged and energized, which will help you prosper in life.
5. Make preparation a habit - Preparation allows you to be more efficient while reducing mistakes and stress. Planning is truly the foundation for success.
6. Act with passion - Nothing great has ever been achieved without enthusiasm. Passion can double or triple the results in whatever you are do.
7. Communicate clearly - Communication is the most important tool for building healthy and prosperous relationships, which are a crucial element for achievement.
8. Share with others - True accomplishment involves sharing your experiences with others. The more you share the greater your legacy.
9. Love to learn - Education is mental food and mental exercise, and it builds mental muscle. Any winner is a lifelong learner.
10. Fight within yourself - Victory in its purest sense is victory over yourself. By fighting within yourself you will become a confident individual with balance in your life.
