LESSONS FROM THE SADDLE

“know what it is your are trying to achieve, determine how
you are going to do it, then go for it”


NECESSARY TIME-OUT
“you obtain more clarity by seeing things differently
and deliberately disrupting your regular routine”


ATTITUDE CAN OFTEN
DETERMINE THE OUTCOME
“a positive mindset helps you overcome barriers”


STEP-OUT OF YOUR
COMFORT ZONE
“distancing yourself from familiarity means you are
more likely to experience something new”


WARMTH AND NUTRITION
“it’s difﬁcult to sleep when you’re cold and hungry”


BABY STEPS
“it’s much easier to accomplish difﬁcult challenges when
they’re broken-down into smaller parts’


UPS AND DOWNS
“for every steep hill up there’s another easier hill down further on”


PREDICTING THE OUTCOME
“we can often determine how people will behave towards us
by the way we behave towards them”


PEOPLE ARE WEIRD
“some folks place greater emphasise on the type of fuel they’re
ﬁlling their cars with than what they’re feeding their children”


RECOGNITION OF OTHERS
“accepting people for who they are means you don’t have to try
and convince them to be somebody else”


RE-AFFIRM PEOPLES’
IMPORTANCE
“individuals are likely to do more for those who’ve put them in the
position of power than those who’ve undermined them of it”

they actually are”

most tedious tasks seem more interesting”

originally thought you could do’
