Minding your own business has many different meanings, but the bottom
line is that you can’t take care of anyone else until you have your own
business in order. The mastery of minding your own business lays solely

within you. Over the years, I have found that regardless of the business or
social environment, a few statements about Minding Your Own Business
have been invaluable.

Take care of your own affairs or someone else will do it for you at your
expense.

Don’t go looking for trouble, you will always find it.

While you are paying attention to someone else’s affairs, who is
minding yours?

Revenge is very time consuming and draining and once realized has
short-term fulfillment.

Be true to yourself, take pride in it, and share it.

Keep your business to yourself by being a better listener than a talker.

Mind your own business
