3. I spend most of my writing and reading time focusing
on how to improve. This slide set does this as well, but
by listing behaviors and patterns that hinder or in
many cases stop improvement. This list is for us to
look at and see what we recognize in ourselves. If we
can see our faults, we can begin efforts to overcome
them, to improve. Please resist the temptation to shift
the focus from yourself. The rewards will be worth it.
We do not need to correct all findings at once, but we
can start somewhere. May reviewing this list help you
in your improvement process.-T Curtis
