90/10 Principle

Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down.








The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.







How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.







Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You haveno control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.







Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.







Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?A) Did the coffee cause it?B) Did your daughter cause it?C) Did the policeman cause it?D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need,to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves.You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.







Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.







If someone says something negative about you, don’t be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don’t have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.







How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, nd do not worry about it.







You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.







The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will losenothing if you try it.







The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. There never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged







You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life.

LOVE YOUR MOTHER

M-O-T-H-E-R






"M" is for the million things she gave me,





"O" means only that she's growing old,





"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,





"H" is for her heart of purest gold;





"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,





"R" means right, and right she'll always be,





Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"





A word that means the world to me.







When you came into the world, she held you in her arms. You thanked her by wailing like a banshee.





When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you. You thanked her by crying all night long.







When you were 2 years old, she taught you to walk. You thanked her by running away when she called.





When you were 3 years old, she made all your meals with love. You thanked her by tossing your plate on the floor.







When you were 4 years old, she gave you some crayons. You thanked her by coloring the dining room table.



When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for the holidays. You thanked her by plopping into the nearest pile of mud.



When you were 6 years old, she walked you to school. You thanked her by screaming, "I'M NOT GOING!"







When you were 7 years old, she bought you a baseball. You thanked her by throwing it through the next-door-neighbor's window.







When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream. You thanked her by dripping it all over your lap.







When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano lessons. You thanked her by never even bothering to practice.



When you were 10 years old, she drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another. You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back.







When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row.







When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until she left the house.





Those Teenage Years



When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she had no taste.





When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter.



When you were 15, she came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked.







When you were 16, she taught you how to drive her car. You thanked her by taking it every chance you could.





When you were 17, she was expecting an important call. You thanked her by being on the phone all night.







When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation. You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn.



Growing Old and Gray





When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends.







When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, "It's none of your business."



When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future. You thanked her by saying, "I don't want to be like you."



When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation. You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe.







When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment. You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly.



When you were 24, she met your fiancé and asked about your plans for the future. You thanked her by glaring and growling, "Muuhh-ther, please!"



When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you. You thanked her by moving halfway across the country.







When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby. You thanked her by telling her, "Things are different now." When you were 40, she called to remind you of an relative's birthday. You thanked her by saying you were "really busy right now."



When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.



And then, one day, she quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder. "Rock me baby, rock me all night long." The hand who rocks the cradle ... may rock the world".





Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!!



Your mother will be there for you; to listen to your woes, your braggings, your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself "Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her "blues" of working in the kitchen, her tiredness???"





Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.



DO NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED THE THINGS CLOSEST TO YOUR HEART. LOVE HER MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELF. LIFE IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT HER.
