10 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN IN THE 21st CENTURY 1. To Be Passionate Passion drives everything. If we lack passion, we lack conviction and if we lack conviction as a leader we have no influence. 2. To Be Comfortable being Uncomfortable This is the Navy SEALs definition of mental toughness. We have become soft in todays world. Are we comfortable with being in the middle of adversity or do we bail or blame others? 3. To Possess Integrity Integrity seems to be a word of choice in todays world as we see our leaders live double lives or not do the right thing because it is hard. People follow those that lead and practice integrity consistently. 4. To Be Relentless People today must be taught how to persevere and never quit. We must model relentlessness daily. 5. To Respect Authority In an age where people look down on their leaders & very rarely say, Yes Sir / Yes Mam we need to teach our people and children how to look people in the eye and respect them. 6. To Have Meaningful Relationships In an age where we have thousands of Twitter followers and hundreds of Friends on Facebook, how many real relationships do we have? We must remember and teach others that relationship drives everything and it is still what every human soul craves. 7. To Be Held Accountable We all must learn to hold ourselves accountable and teach others to be held accountable. We live in an era where excuses are the norm and it is always someone elses responsibility. 8. Not Everyone Wins... Win without Bragging and Lose without Whining We must teach our people and our kids that everyone does not win and everyone does not get the promotion or a trophy. We must teach them how to be humble in success and take ownership in defeat. 9. To Be Patient Remember, that things that are built to last are not built fast... and that includes ourselves and those that we lead. . 10. Its about Others not just You...Be Dependable In a me world, we must force ourselves to choose to be we driven rather than me driven. Olsen/Schugars
