Previously I owned a 91 Caddy.  It was not running

right & I almost went to a mechanic, until I self-realized

the problem.  It takes Premium to run its best.

    Now, I often drive my 1977 classic Ford truck. Just like

my old Caddy; it just doesn’t perform with 2nd rate fuel.

I have to not only run high octane but non-ethanol fuel,

to get performance from my truck.

   These vehicles have an important lesson to teach us.

We; like those vintage vehicles operate best only with

Premium fuel. 

   I like to develop acrostics to teach points and principles.

So, Here is a word picture to help us think about

improving our work with the Octane of Premium.

P ositive Mindset

    – nothing works poorer on the job than stinking thinking.

R ested & Relaxed Focus

    – up tight agitated people rarely do their best work.

E ncouraged mindset

    – people do not function at high thresh-holds of ability

        when they are browbeaten and distressed.

M otivated method

     – high achievement requires that we give good effort

         coupled with smart plans.

I nterested attitude

     – if you are bored with your job, you will not produce

        good work. Find ways to make your work interesting.

U tilization techniques

     – skills only lead to better job performance, if we find

        solid ways to relate them to our tasks.

M ental Stimulation

        – nothing works, when we don’t put our brain to the

task.  A time each day should be spent thinking about

how to do things better. Reading is a great catalyst here. 

   It may seem like overstating the obvious, to encourage

you to focus on stimulating your life with maximum

quality influences. Yet, nothing is so easy to overlook

as the obvious. It really is important to evaluate the

kinds of things that we are counting on to sustain and

nourish us.

   So don’t run the special high  performance vehicle of

your efforts on low octane fuel.  Use a Premium

strategy for Premium Performance.
