TIT 4 TAT: The Basic Backdrop of Life. By Bill Cottringer “Reputation is not of enough value to sacrifice character for it.” Miss Clark. All of life, upon due reflection, seems to be a variation of one very basic rule commonly known as—Tit for Tat (literally blow for blow). This a priori “contract” asks for a reasonable exchange and balance to resolve conflicts in three main areas of life: • Conflicts within yourself (self-growth). • Conflicts between you and others (relationship growth). • Conflicts between all of us and life itself (humanity growth).

Synthesize and Simplify Your Way to Job and Relationship Success Byr Bill Cottringer I will make two bold statements that I am confident will get 100% agreement. And that is always a good starting point to build upon to make things better at work or in relationships.

Yes, yes so let’s not waste words and move on.

Each and every one of us has a foundation in truth, yet we all have a set of beliefs that we always feel the need to defend.

Life gives us so many opportunities to steer a direction or to plot a course. In many instances we choose to complicate this process by mindless compromising of our own Self-value. It’s not about who wins. Life is about our perception of being a winner. Even if you don’t come first you can still hold winner status in your own personal journey. This is far more important than winning at any price, particularly if it necessitates compromising. Believe me; every one of us will know when we have compromised to the point of Self loss. Success doesn’t have a size.

Public relations is defined as: Positive communications and interactions between a person, organization, or company and the public on whom its success or failure depends. Like it or not, we are always engaged in public relations.

If you are tired of falling short of the mark for that weight loss or fitness goal, or if every year you say you are going to start saving for your dream vacation, but never take the time to fill out the direct deposit form to have that money go in the bank, you are not alone.

Today I shipped a copy of my new book SECOND CHANCES to an inmate in prison. Seems that someone cared enough about this man to want to send him a Christmas present – the gift of potential – the gift of how to turn Adversity into Opportunity – the gift of how to change your life.

“I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” – Pablo Picasso In case you haven’t noticed, the global workplace is highly competitive and highly complex. It’s the reason increasing emphasis is placed on education and skills. Here are some suggestions on what the job market values together with ways to help you develop in those areas. “There is nothing new under the sun but there are lots of old things we don’t know.” – Ambrose Bierce

When you are not satisfied with your life, you try to find a quick fix solution to make things better. You want something to happen right now! Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way. You have to take action and you actually DO need to work and most of the time work hard in order to find success in your life. Before I was on my road to success I tried to find that “quick fix”… I used to watch lots of TV and I used to actually stop and listen to those infomercials an

I am a long time fan of late night television and wanted to get David Letterman as our graduation speaker (we had Tip O’Neill). I loved Johnny Carson and watched him religiously. His retirement was the end of an era, Jay Leno is fine but he is no Johnny Carson. I did love Wynton Marsalis and Kevin Eubanks though. Late night television wars heated up after Johnny’s retirement and I usually flipped back and forth betwee David and Jay most nights. I was happy to hear Conan was t

WHY PRISONS DON'T WORK (AS WELL AS THEY COULD) Byr William Cottringer “Men simply copied the realities of their hearts when they built prisons.” ~ Richard Wright. I do not want to offend all the good people who have devoted their entire careers to positive prison reform, but the very nature of the prison business is conservative, and so changes for the better are necessarily slow in coming. But let’s consider a few reasons for the current, somewhat bleak state of affairs.

What usually separates the successful from the unsuccessful has less to do with knowledge, skills or luck than a mindset difference. A mindset that is geared for success is one that has a burning desire to succeed and is forward looking even in the face of fear and difficulties. On the other hand, a mind that is self limiting and filled with negativity is set up for less than satisfactory results or even failure. A good role model that inspires us to go beyond self limitatio

"The purpose of life is to be restored back to love, moment to moment. To fulfill this purpose, the individual must acknowledge that he is 100 percent responsible for creating his life the way it is. He must come to see that it is his thoughts that create his life the way it is moment to moment. The problems are not people, places, and situations but rather the thoughts of them. He must come to appreciate that there is no such thing as "out there." -- Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len

Relationship Facts That Get In The Way of Relating Byr Bill Cottringer “Relationships are the real test to find out if you are as good as you think you are.” ~The author.

Time is not tangible, but yet we all feel its effects as we age. Time passes you by while you are standing still or when running at full speed. You can't outrun time; it's too fast and tireless. Time waits for no one. Some people try to save time, but time can't be saved like money. Money can be added; time can only be subtracted. Some people try to manage time in an effort to make the most of it, but it's not the time that gets maximized, it's the effort that really gets managed. From the time we are born, time surrounds and engulfs us.

The Problem That All Religion, Psychology and Spirituality Are Trying To Solve Byr Bill Cottringer “Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality.” ~Kahlil Gabran.

Your success is linked to your understanding of the value of a resource called time. Time lost can never be recovered. While you are still able to work, make your time worthwhile and productive. While sleep is important in that you rest the body, some have a challenge of over committing time to sleep and slumber. The issue of time management is what has separated the rich from the poor. Somehow in some parts of the world it is acceptable to be an hour late for an appointment without feeling guilty. It's the "normal" expectation.

H. L. Mencken said, “For every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, straightforward, and wrong.” How do you solve complex problems? Sometimes you can “just do it,” knock down the first domino—which topples the next in a long line of dominoes—and achieve the result you want. More ...

Fear is unnecessary worry. Fear is a lack of self-confidence. Fear is evidence of an inability to control one’s thoughts. Fear is often the underlying reason for failure. Fear limits one’s potential because the thought of fear results in inaction. Fear, ironically, is both necessary and a protection; but unfortunately, people use fear’s protection as a sad justification and excuse for an inability to take a risk. Fear is in everyone. And thankfully, fear is controllable and can be overcome.

About 15 years ago, I got a call from a lead partner at one of the largest executive recruiting firms asking if I’d be interested in talking to Mr. Hank Greenburg about a senior level job at AIG. That company was the big dog in property and casualty insurance and was led by an iconic figure (Hank) that took a small insurance company in the 1960s and built it into a Fortune 10 in a few decades. The job we discussed was running AIG in the Far East out of Tokyo. I was interest

“A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don’t have a J.O.B.” – Fats Domino With the world in the midst of what some are calling an economic meltdown, it’s no wonder many are reconsidering their careers.

Is there a way I could bring together my passions and talents? Can I do what I love and make some money doing it too?

On a recent vacation to Italy I noticed I was just like many other tourists, moving from one place to the next, from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the train, from the train to a bus or car, from a bus or car to a sightseeing location. Most of us put a lot of time, thought and action into deciding where to go on vacation, what form of transportation to take and what to see along the way and what to do once we get there. n nWhen it comes to your career, how much t
