In order to make those around you better, you have to better yourself in ways that reflect your character. You have to know your strengths and weaknesses and be willing to tailor them to your decision making and tasks in your profession and personal life. Be consistent and efficient in what you do. By creating that example it will earn respect and influence others to do the same. 

Life is a marathon. We have heard that plenty of times but are we truly aware of that reality? What are you doing now to set yourself up for success long-term? YOLO cannot always be the answer!

For some reason, people have no issue in wasting someone else's time. Pre-meeting for other meetings. Talking just to be talking. We have all been a part of it. So what can we do about it and how does our personal lack of efficiency affect us? 

Have some integrity in who you are and who you want to be! Don't let others change you! Adapt to your audience, but remain YOU!
