We’ll wrap up our examination of Sir John’s advice to “Put First Things First” by offering his action plan for incorporating this important concept into your all areas of your life.
- List all the virtues that have special meaning for you.
- Rank them in order of importance in your life.
- Think of examples where you have been able to put various virtues into practice.
- Discuss virtues with family members, business associates, and friends. They may provide you with insights into the virtues you need to practice to lead a happy and successful life.
Here is the start of a list, which you can add to and change as you produce your own: gentleness, humility, self-control, hopefulness, perseverance, enthusiasm, responsibility, farsightedness, unselfishness, honor, hard work, generosity, promptness, thrift, originality, judgment, calmness, loyalty, forgiveness, thanksgiving, common sense, honesty, bravery, and love.
