Chuck Colgan’s Top Ten
- There is no such word as can’t.
- A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.
- A smile is like a business card, it only works if you give it away.
- Always be worth more than you are being paid.
- Find something you love to do, then find a way to get paid for doing it.
- The best way to defeat your enemy is to make him your friend.
- Nine out of ten things you worry about never happen.
- When you’re getting ahead in life, make sure you reach out and give someone a hand up.
- Live your life in such a way that if someone speaks ill of you, no one will believe them.
And number 10 – Always ask yourself….. Am I doing the right thing?
