TIS BULLETIN: 13th May, 2022

Thought for the Week

There are only two people in the world that you need to care about their opinion. It is not your mom, your dad, your spouse, your kids, your boss, or your friends. It is the 8-year-old version of you and the 80-yearold version of you. You have lived a good life if you impress those two people.

Thought for the Week

Barty Lesson #1: You have choices. You can stop when it’s enough, even if it’s what you’re famous for. Opportunity costs are real and being at the top of any field requires that you forgo a lot of other things – birthday parties, lazy sleep-ins, childhoods, sensible recovery time and much more. Knowing when you are maxed out
is crucial to achieving long-term physical and mental health.

Barty Lesson #2: Recognise the opportunity costs. You get one life (that we know of), and no matter how much money you make, you can’t buy back time.

Thought for the Week

Criticising is easy and fast. Creating is difficult and slow. The two hours you spent on a book or movie usually took two years to produce. Anyone can tear down someone else’s work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.
~ Adam Grant

TIS BULLETIN: 14th April, 2022

TIS BULLETIN: 2nd December, 2021

There is one secret to success and that is passion. If you are passionate about what you believe in and what you want to achieve, then you are halfway there before you start. Your passion will become the foundation and driver for the elements of success that will be determined eventually by you.
~ Dr Ken Darvall

TIS BULLETIN: 15th October, 2021

TIS BULLETIN: 24th September 2021

One life on this earth is all we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can.
~ Frederick Buechner

TIS BULLETIN: 17th September 2021

Mindset. The trick is in what one emphasises. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson l be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

~ James Clear

TIS BULLETIN: 1st August, 2021

Two simple rules that make saying yes harder and saying no easier:
1. Don’t say yes on the spot.
2. When you do say yes to something, schedule when you’re going to do it in your calendar right away. Book twice as much time as you think it will take to do it right. Both rules are helpful, but the
second rule is perhaps more important. Scheduling the work helps you realize that saying yes has a very real cost. By scheduling double the time, you’ll avoid overcommitting and have the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that arise.
~ Shane Parrish
