"the greatness guide" by Robin Sharma

I enjoy reading Robin Sharma blog. his website http://www.robinsharma.com/ has been my default web page for sometime.
last weekend i went back to Robin's book from the shelf "the greatness guide" and skimmed through the highlighted portion and it makes an interesting read.
1. each day life will send you windows of opportunity. your destiny will ultimately be defined by how you respoind to these windows.
2. good things happen when you do good things.
3. what you do today defines tommorow.
4. fail faster, succeed sooner - by David Kelly
5. make time to think at least 30 minutes a day.
6. make a list of 10 greatest passion/activities that fill your heart with joy and remind you how good life can be. then schedule them once a week. anything that is scheduled gets done.
7. one conversation with an interesting person a week.
8. power of .......thank you = i appreciate you; .....please = i respect you.
9. if you eat 3 times a day you will be fed. but if you read three times a day you will be wise.
10. build cultures where people and relationaship comes first.
11. persian proverb "i cursed the fact I had no shoes untill i met a man who had no feet"
12. boomerang effect " give what you must want to see come back.
13. make better choices.
14. focus + improvement + time = genius in 5 years
15. "20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did" by Mark Twain

"the greatness guide" is filled with brilliant learning spread in numerous short passages of 2/3 pages long. skimming through the highlights uplifts the spirits for the day and so does the blogs of Robin Sharma.
