Self Discipline Is the Cornerstone of How You Manage Yourself

I read a book a while ago entitled &#8220;Road Rules&#8221; by Andrew Sherman. The book is great and goes into detail about 12 essential rules for navigating the road of life.

			Lots of people pride themselves as being expert in dealing with a crisis or being able to &#8220;put out fires&#8221;. The question is how many of these fires do they actually create due to a lack of  a clear and specific vision; goals and  planning? They &#8220;put out the fire&#8221; that they started but how [...]]]></description>
