that you are not.    Believe you can change another person.  Fail to trust your instincts about a person or

situation.      Return to something that did not work in the

past expecting different results.    Try to please everyone.          Choose short-term comfort over long-term

gains.    Fail to do due diligence before making a

decision     Recognize that all organizations have

internal politics Forget that work is not the whole of life but

just part of it and transient at that.
