DAY 2
Think about your Attitude:
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting
others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient
proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose
one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Victor Frankl
The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their
attitudes of mind. “As you think, so shall you be.” What are your thoughts on the power of
attitude?

person you are now.” Sophia Loren

DAY 4
Think about Balance:
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. Work, Family, Health,
Friends, and Spirit – and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that
work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health,
friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed,
marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand
that and strive for balance in your life.”
Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises from 1959-1994
Do you think he was right? What are your “balls”? How do you prioritize them?
