1. This Week's JumpstartGo the extra mile. Instead of saying: "Why don't they do something?" Say, "Here's what I'm doing about it." Instead of, "Why me?" Think, "Try me!" Look for rainbows in thunderstorms, and instead of worrying about the icy streets, put on your ice skates. Live out the story of the little boy who bought a new pair of ice skates with his allowance so he could skate on the frozen pond. His mother and father, watching him slide, slip and fall every time he tried to stand up, ran to his rescue, cautioning: "Let's put them away, son, before you get hurt!" The boy continued struggling and replied: "Mom, Dad, I didn't get them to give up with – I got my skates to learn with!" So this week concentrate on doing more than you are asked and contributing more than is required.
2. The Champion Within ArticleSelecting the Right Mentor by Denis WaitleyFinding coaches and mentors is an important mission, and you will no doubt have several over the course of your life. It is critical that you choose them wisely. Your mentor is someone to whom you'll be committing a great deal of time and attention, and who ideally will take a very focused interest in you as well. The process of selecting a mentor begins, first of all, with a clear-sighted view of what your life's goals are, both for your career and your personal life. If you're just starting out as an associate in a large law firm, you might choose one of the senior partners as your mentor, or perhaps a partner in another firm you're familiar with. If you're just starting a family, and you're facing the lifestyle adjustments that kids require, your mentor could very likely be someone who is reaching the other end of this very exciting, but demanding, process. In any case, your mentors should be people whose experience can serve as a model for reaching your most significant goals in the most important areas of your life. Selecting a mentor is not just a matter of finding someone you like or feel comfortable identifying with. Make sure that the mentors you choose have a genuine history of success. I'm continually amazed by the number of people who look to only superficially successful people as role models for achievement. Even experts can make conspicuous mistakes of judgment in this area. The next time you're in a bookstore or library, take a look at the bestselling books on business and management from four or five years ago. There's an excellent chance that some of the companies cited as models of efficiency are now out of business. I don't bring this up to disparage anyone's business expertise, but simply to point out the need for great care in selecting a coach whose success will stand the test of time. In addition to selecting your coaches based on their ability to achieve goals similar to your own, choose mentors who in the process have overcome some of the same obstacles you're facing. Ideally, a mentor really represents both what you want to become in a particular area of life and what you want to do. Seeing your mentors today is like seeing what you intend to be. The coach has arrived at or been to places similar to where you want to go. Choosing a celebrity or public figure as a mentor is a very questionable decision. If at all possible, select a mentor with whom you can actually spend time and with whom you enjoy having conversations and exploring ideas. Of course, you can have admired historical personages, authors, educators, or artists as role models. If you discover someone with whom you feel a special affinity, make an effort to obtain everything that person has written or said. Really become a student of the person's work and life. Don't just admire him or her, genuinely learn from him or her, as I have learned from the life and wisdom of Benjamin Franklin. One of the most interesting aspects of selecting a mentor is the fact that one can rarely separate people's tangible achievements from the qualities of their character. More than their bank accounts or their real estate holdings, role models prove by the conduct of their lives that they're worth emulating.
