Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley

(Excerpted from Denis Waitley's book Safari to the Soul)

To be self-reliant adults, we need to set some guidelines:

• Be different, if it means higher personal and professional standards of behavior

• Be different, if it means treating animals like people, and people as brothers and sisters

• Be different, if it means being cleaner, neater and better groomed than the group

• Be different, if it means giving more in service than you expect to receive in payment

• Be different, if it means to take the calculated risk

• Be different, if it means to observe, listen and understand before passing judgment.
