The 90/10 rule


Dear Friends,
I was writing a paper just this morning titled "Keep Ahead of the Game." It is my personal motto and it is basically the same as the Boy Scout motto of Be Prepared. The synopsis of the article is basically, the more we plan ahead and prepare ahead then the smoother things will go and the better everyone's attitudes will be. There are things in life that we cannot control that just happen. These things can affect our life negatively but.....if we have been prepared, and if we have the right attitude a negative situation can be halted in its tracks and not allowed to fester and snowball. Then wouldn't you know that I ran across this beautiful video on Jen's blog. I thought it reflected so eloquently on what has been on my mind today. The video is just over four minutes. I hope you enjoy it.
Blessings,
Nancy

    When I was having a really difficult time with a specific teacher during graduate school, my applied piano teacher informed me about the 90/10 rule--although I didn't realize it at that time. He told me that I could never control the actions of another, but I did have control over my reactions to him or her. It really was some of the best advice I had ever received!

    Thanks for the post!

    P.S. The music in the video is really quite lovely! :)
