No shame in apologising
You can’t change the past
You can change the future
Ask, listen, think, thank!
I cannot get better at everything, but I can certainly get better at one thing
Positive, simple, focused and fast
Follow-up (consistent and periodic follow up will always lead to the most improvement)
If you get better, it has nothing to do with anyone else, it is do with you

In studies conducted with old people facing death, the 3 most important pieces of advice they gave were:

  1. Be Happy Now! People spend too much time focusing on what they don’t have instead of what they have.
  2. Friends and Family! On your deathbed, there will be no fellow employees, old bosses etc waving you goodbye.
  3. If you have a dream, go for it! If you don’t go for it when you’re young, you may never go for it.

Do whatever you can to help people. (The 95 year old you will be proud of you if you did).
Go for it – you may not win, but it might be worth the risk.

Marshall Goldsmith is pretty awesome. :)
