HOME ABOUT ME RESOURCES PHOTOS LINKS HUMILITY Humility knows we need God. Say, 'I need You God.' Humility knows we need others. Say, 'I need other people.' Humility recognises how great we are not. Say, 'Lord, You've done it all.' Humility admits our own shortcomings and congratulates others on their successes. Humility serves others we consider our equal or less. Humility waits patiently. Say, 'I am patient.' Humility restrains anger. Say, 'I forgive everyone who has ever offended me.' Humility is not something that is given to us. Humility is something we chose. PLANNING A good idea is worth one dollar. The plan for implementing that idea is worth a million dollars.' (Page 87, Jesus CEO, Laurie Beth Jones, Hyperion 1995) An 'Ace' in World War 2 was a pilot who shot down more than five enemy aircraft. Major Eric Hartmann is known in military history as the 'Ace of Aces'. He had 352 confirmed in-air victories and was unhurt himself. (The Blond Knight of Germany - Blue Ridge Summit, PA, Aero Books, 1970) His secret? He carefully pre-planned every attack rather than do whatever came to mind in the situation. 'See and decide before firing', was his policy. Take the time to think, consult and plan. Sit down and plan first rather than sit down in remorse later. Inspiration is the fuel, but to act just because you're inspired doesn't guarantee success. A plan will do that for you! Have a plan for everything! PROBLEM SOLVING When you don't know what to do, work out what NOT to do. Methodical elimination will leave you with your answer. Make a list of the possible answers and delete the least likely. Identify 'who' and 'what' won't work. You'll be left with the best. Don't think that big is always best. A little may achieve more than a lot. The entire world is founded on the seed principle. Big things come from small seeds. They're easy to overlook. The process of elimination uncovers the best answers.
