LEARNING TO SAY “NO”.When I was Director of University Relations at a large university, I hired a very talented, proactive, creative writer. One day, after he had been on the job for a few months, I went into his office and asked him to work on some urgent matters that were pressing on me.
He said,”Stephen, I’ll do whatever you want me to do. Just let me share with you my situation.”
Then he took me over to his wallboard, where he had listed over two dozen projects he was working on, together with performance criteria and deadline dates that had been clearly negotiated before. He was highly disciplined, which is why I went to see hem in the first place. If you want to get something done, give it to a busy man.
Then he said,”Stephen, to do these new jobs would take several days. Which of these projects would you like me to delay or cancel to satisfy your request?”
Well, I didn’t want to take the responsibility for that. I didn’t want to put a cog in the wheel of one of the most productive people on the staff just because I happened to be managing by crisis at that time. The jobs I wanted done were urgent, but not important. So I went and found another crisis manager and gave the job to him.

DO YOU SLEEP WELL WHEN THE WIND BLOWS?
A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his qualifications, he said, “I can sleep when the wind blows.” This puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him. A few days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm. They quickly began to check things out to see if all was secure. They found that the shutters of the farmhouse had been securely fastened. A good supply of logs had been set next to the fireplace.
The young man was sleeping soundly.
The farmer and his wife then inspected their property. They found that the farm tools had been placed in the storage shed, safe from the elements. The tractor had been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even the animals were calm. All was well.
The farmer then understood the meaning of the young man’s words. “I can sleep when the wind blows.”
How does this apply to our lives ?
