Challenge with Class:
Taking the High Road in all Situations
“Some people do the right thing because of what other people will think. Some, because they want to be accepted. But, there is
great honor to be found in doing the right thing because it’s the right
thing to do.”

It is difficult at times not stoop to the lower
level,
but…
The end result is that one needs to know how to be
comfortable within your own skin,
and
Sometimes after lying down in the mud, it is not that easy to get clean again
Life is 10% of what happens –
90% of how you deal with it
Those who take the high road…
Are Not Victims!
Steps to the High Road
It all starts with
YOU!
Speak when you are angry, and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
Ambrose Bierce
Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is
futile.
Stephen R. Covey, American management guru
Vent in a safe place
or..
find an appropriate place to be
inappropriate
Get yourself in control of
YOU!
Say what you mean, mean what you say,
but…
don’t be mean when you say what you mean.
Check your pride!
Friend or Foe?

You never want to look back and regret the way you acted
Behave consistently with your own stated values and beliefs.
This takes courage!
Make decisions as if your actions were
going to be tomorrow’s headlines in the New York Times
The important person is the one looking back at you in the
mirror

Biggest place to take the high road is
regarding negativity
Arguing with a fool proves there are
two.
