TIPS FOR SUCCESS!
We can all use good advice and inspiration. The following are quotes
from one of the many remarkable people in American business history.
Kemmons Wilson. Kemmons was the founder of the Holiday Inn concept
and the “father of the modern inn keeping industry.” Prior to Holiday Inn,
the hospitality industry was fragmented by independent owners, and a
wide range of quality standards. You never knew what you might get
when you decided to spend the night on the road. Kemmons developed
consistent quality for the industry. His Tips For Success are inspirational
for their simple view of the truth…
1. Work only a half a day: it makes no difference which half – it can either
be the first 12 hours or the last 12 hours.
2. Work is the master key that opens the door to all opportunities.
3. Mental attitude plays a far more important role in a person’s success
or failure than mental capacity.
4. There are two ways to get to the top of an oak tree. One way is to sit
on an acorn and wait; the other way is to climb it.
5. Remember that success requires half luck and half brains.
6. Opportunity knocks often. It knocks as often as you have an ear
trained to hear it, an eye trained to see it, a hand trained to grasp it, and a
head trained to use it.
7. You cannot procrastinate. In two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.
8. Sell your wristwatch and buy and alarm clock.
9. Do not worry. You can’t change the past, but you can sure ruin the
present by worrying over the future. Remember that half the things we
worry about never happen, and the other half is going to happen anyway.
So, why worry?
10. It is not how much you have, but how much you enjoy that makes
happiness.
11. No job is too hard as long as you are smart enough to find someone
else to do it for you.
