SUCCESS TIPS.....

It has been a bit of a time lapse from the last posting...so thanks for your patience. Now I
have some very good news to share with you.........

I've had great feedback from people taking the PA exam. All have achieved good
results. One emergency medicine PA -C in particular scored outstanding...on the re-certifying
examination....in the top 5%!!!! Congratulations to her and all of you on your hard work.


Today, riding on the wave of recent successes I"d like to expand on the subject of itself.

The ideas are not mine...but universal for ages past. Nonetheless, they become very helpful
if practiced daily. These simple "recipes" will aid you on achieving positive results, whether
at home, the work environment, in preparation for your exam.....or just with life itself.

So, here are tips for YOUR success, as I see them:


1. Demand the BEST of yourself. Don't settle for average. You didn't get to where you
are in your present life and profession, by being just so....!!!


2. Take PRIDE in your work.....it's the only one you have. You can "shine" anywhere you
work, by making it a choice...so, take charge of your perspective, today.


3. Be INQUISITIVE....attempt to carve out 15 minutes a day...to read about a topic, which
you "never have the time" to learn about.


4. Be CARING....do something every day, for someone other then yourself. Do it with genuine
want....and it will become part of you, before you know it.


5. Be HONEST.....first and foremost with yourself, your immediate loved ones and your
co-workers......the rewards are self explanatory.


6. Set HIGH STANDARDS....in all aspects of your life. Being mediocre will lead to, just
that.....mediocre. So, take an honest inventory of yourself to see where you stand.


7. Be of GOOD SPIRITS....it always helps being on the lighter side.


8. Be THANKFUL....appreciate everything you have, as you could just as well have been
on the other side of the fence, in life...."looking in thru the outdoor" !!!


9. Have COMPASSION....with patients and people....life for any of us, could change in a single
instant......So, be happy to be giving care, instead of receiving one.


10. ......lastly PRAY DAILY, to being the fortunate one, to practice all the above!!!!



Thanks for your time...be back real soon.
