Learning Challenge: 9 Successful Principles



I read the article, "The 9 Principles That People Who Feel Successful Say They Live By" and found it incredibly interesting. Now most of them are honestly pretty obvious to me but just because something is obvious doesn't mean it is a well-worth read that invokes thought. The most thought-provoking principle of the nine was suspend judgment. Judgment not only shoves others in a box but also keeps you in one. By suspending judgment we are making life easier for ourselves and others.


The 9 principles mentioned in the article.

Even if you don't execute it, it's always a good idea to hear out every suggestion on the table.

People are creative, and a little weird and we get to come up with the grandest ideas that we actually implement in national campaigns.  Typically some of the qualities you find in someone in advertising can be seen as a weakness in other areas of work. A lot of us are ADHD, we talk...

Week 2 Story: Three Roses

Image
Three Roses There once was a caring mother with three daughters. The family was running low on supplies so the mother planned a trip to the market. Before she left the mother asked her daughters what they wanted from the market. The two eldest girls supplied a long list of wants. The youngest, however, just wanted three Roses. The family lived deep in the woods so the trip would take two days time. After collecting all the supplies that were needed the mother started to head back home. With such a heavy load, the mother needed a rest. It was getting dark and she could hear the animals coming out to search for food under the moon. She saw an old looking palace and decided to hurry there for refuge for the night. The mother had never seen this palace but it seemed extremely old. The only thing that was in good condition was the rose garden to the side of the palace. She had already bought her daughter the three roses but these were so much more beautiful. As soon as sh...
