It isn’t the most comfortable sensation in the world, but tension isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, it can often bring out the best in you. A stressful situation can give your creativity and intelligence a terrifically satisfying jolt. Don’t just seek out people who are completely compatible with you. If you only surround yourself with like-minded thinkers, your own mind and soul won’t be challenged or grow.

Resist the urge to wave any white flags. Just when you think it’s time to call it a day, a friend comes to your rescue. Let them help you instead of allowing pride to get in the way. You’ll repay the favor soon enough.

When communicating with your partner, make sure you go over the details you think are important. It’s better to state something twice than assume the other person knows what you’re talking about.

Don’t expect any follow through today unless you’re planning on doing it yourself. The phrase, ‘if you want something done right you have to do it yourself’ was never so true. Forgive your colleagues but get the job done.
