    My favorite is "converse with your enemies". I tend to do this quite a lot. It does indeed broaden your mental spectrum. Sometimes people just cant open there eyes and accept there are so many different aspects to success, some require doing things you would not normally do.

    There is always two sides to one story, learn both , become twice as smart ( well, knowing would be a better word )

    Separate feelings from thinking
    This is a very good tip. Thinking and feelings are different things; cannot be mixed.

      It's right everyone has knowledge and is able to do a lot of things, but most of us are always busy with by incresing their Knowledge and forget to take action. The key to success is for me to take action. Lot of people are afraid of faliure. But Faliure is also what can motivate and educate someone do a better job next time.

        I agree with you. Failure is another way to earn experience and better preparation for next time.

    I have been told over and over that accepting criticism and utilizing it to improve is one of the most important qualities you can have. I've come to realize that having a thick skin is important in any profession. Behind every insult is an opportunity to improve.
