Key Verse: Verse 17 – “The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.”
Key Words: The words of wise men are heard in quiet
There are actually two truths in these few words. The first truth is that wise counsel is mostly given in quiet or private. Secondly, a wise person will heed wise words.
Speaking of heeding some good advice… here’s some!!
1. Business is made up of ambiguous victories and nebulous defeats. Claim them all as victories.
2. Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to ask.
3. Be comfortable around senior managers or learn to fake it.
4. Never bring your boss a problem without some solution. You are getting paid to think, not to whine.
5. Long hours don’t mean anything; results count, not effort.
6. Write down ideas; they get lost, like good pens.
7. Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your boss.
8. Be sure to sit at the conference table—never by the wall.
9. Help other people network for jobs. What goes around comes around.
10. Don’t take sick days—unless you are.
11. Assume no one can/will keep a secret.
12. The most successful people in business are interesting.
13. Sometimes you’ll be on a roll and everything will click; take maximum advantage. When the opposite is true, hold steady and wait it out.
14. Never in your life say, “It’s not my job.”
15 Understand the skills and abilities that set you apart. Whenever you have an opportunity, use them.
16. People remember the end of the project. As they say in boxing, “Always finish stronger than you start.”
