The Templeton Plan: Step 2

The Templeton Plan is written for those who consider themselves students in the school of total success. It is suggested that you devote yourself to one step each day, over a period of three weeks, Each step should be studied carefully until the following questions can be answered in a satisfactory and thorough manner:
  1. What do these ideas really mean?
  2. How do they apply to my own life?
  3. How can I use their meaning in achieving success?

Step 2: Using What You Have

  • Wasted lives are never successful lives
  • It is important not to let a day go by without learning the meaning of an unfamiliar word, without a new insight, without experiencing a fresh taste, thought, or sensation. 
  • Those who are going to get ahead, who will achieve success, will refuse to waste their moments. Whether it be on the bus ride to work, or the car ride to the mall. They will study, They will read, write, or listen to a podcast. They will use their time, to and from school or work, for self-improvement, production, and continued learning. 
  • Besides perfecting the art of listening, the successful person is the one who asks questions. You don't learn much if you are doing all the talking. Successful people seek advice more often than they give it. 
  • Success comes more easily to those who were given sound role models. The content of your character will either lead to success or failure.

Takeaways:

  1. Listen to others and learn from them. 
  2. Discover your strengths and then use them to the best advantage. 
  3. Money can he inherited but never success. It must be earned by each individual.

And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality.  Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.  Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...
