How to Succeed* 

    "You've heard of the corny Tate family.  They pervade every organization.  There is Dick Tate, who wants to run everything.  Ro Tate tries to change everything.  Agi Tate stirs up trouble whenever possible (and Irri Tate always lends him a hand)." 

    "Whenever new ideas are suggested, Hesi Tate and Vegi Tate pour cold water on them.  Imi Tate tries to mimic everyone, Devas Tate loves to be disruptive, and Poten Tate wants to be a big shot.  But it's Facili Tate, Cogi Tate, and Medi Tate who always save the day and get everyone pulling together." 

                  *  COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING;

               *  KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS; 

                   *  WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS.

Perhaps the most important aspect of working together is the kind of attitude we bring to the circumstances we find ourselves.  Written below is worth pondering.  

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude to me is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.  It will make or break a company…a church…a home.  The remarkable thing is you have a choice every day regarding the attitude you will embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have. And that is our attitude.  I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it.  And so it is with you.  You are in charge of your attitude.”
