attitude. This follows a journalistic approach in its purest sense—
news without a slant. A nonjudgmental approach collects and

Never presume that your way is the only way, whether you’re
talking about work, ethics, or politics. Be tolerant of diverse opin-
ions, practices, and views. Be grateful for the diversity in our lives
and for the benefits of being exposed to so many different back-
grounds and beliefs. Take the time to try to understand other
viewpoints—how and why those people feel and act as they do.
Gather information, get the whole story, and don’t jump to con-
clusions or judge.

eral thousand things that didn’t work on his way to finding some-
thing that did.

Here are suggestions to improve your work habits:

• Find your most effective way to work. Do you work bet-
ter in the mornings, or when you sleep late? Examine
your habits, patterns, and comfort zones. Try to develop
an objective understanding of how you act.

• Learn what changes you should make. Are any of your
habits, patterns, or approaches holding you back and
keeping you from advancing to the next level? If so, iden-
tify and fix them so you can move on.
