Colin Powell’s Thirteen Rules:

Rule 1: It ain’t as bad as you think.  It’ll look better in the morning.

Rule 2: Get mad. Then get over it.

Rule 3: Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

Rule 4: I can be done!

Rule 5: Be careful what you chose. You may get it!

Rule 6: Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

Rule 7: You can’t make someone else’s decisions. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours. (This one is HARD, especially when you have to watch people you love make horrible choices.)

Rule 8: Check the small things.

Rule 9: Share credit.

Rule 10: Remain calm and be kind. (Probably the best advice you’ll ever get.)

Rule 11: Have a vision. Be demanding.

Rule 12: Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers.

Rule 13: Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier!
