Sometime I face individuals who really annoy me. I still believe they deserve to be respected just because they are human beings but when it comes to dialog with them the only thing they respect is their own opinion. I do not respect such a behavior. I respect the idea that those guys demonstrate their good will to other people who they like. They just do not like me. #4 really helps.

I usually print to pdf all your articles, but selecting text from the pdf is hard because of line breaks. Thank you, I will give a 2nd read to your ZTD book this week. Hello Leo,

I would like this site to be more convenient with printing. I usually print to pdf all your articles, but selecting text from the pdf is hard because of line breaks.

Thank you,
I will give a 2nd read to your ZTD book this week.

A general direction and appropriate corrections is the best most of us can do. Though re: #6, I am an advocate of limiting the people to whom you tell your plans. And while you don't want to assume the worst (#2), I would not automatically assume the the best, either - I had to learn that the hard way. As a corallary to the list, remember that not everyone will interpret your intentions, motivations or desires in the same way that you do. There is a reason that some people go to extremes to "manage their reputation," and that image often goes a lot further than substance.

It's so important to take full responsibility for our actions. It's essential to be able to move forward. Blaming other people or situations will do nothing at becoming the best that we can be. Thanks for another great post! Miss Gisele B. Number 7 is the most powerful tip Leo.

Great message and one that I will try to live up to. It is often hard in a society (especially the U.S. Government) that wants to think the worst of people. There are layer upon layer of rules to prevent cheating; only to encourage more cheating. It has to start with someone. Thank you! Great message and one that I will try to live up to.
