No one is better than I am, and I am not better than anyone else.

What separates me from others is my determination to succeed,

my willingness to endure difficulties, and my ability to be a

backbone of support for those who will benefit.

I will always conduct myself in a manner I can be proud of,

regardless of my situation, and by doing so, I will gain self-confidence and earn the respect of others.

I will always surround myself with successful people who are a

positive influence in my life.

I will always believe in myself uniquely and strive towards

excellence.

I will always treat those around me with respect and dignity.

I will always e xercise initiative by acting appropriately and by

remembering what my responsibilities are to myself, my family,

and my community.

The wheel o lie allowsyou to determinewhether you are ocus-ing too much on onepart o your lie and soneglecting others.

When lie is busy, or allyour energy is ocusedon a special project,its all too easy to nd

yoursel of balance,not paying enoughattention to importantareas o your lie. Whileyou need to have driveand ocus i youregoing to get thingsdone, taking this tooar can lead to rustra-tion and intense stress.

Each segment o thewheel representsone area o your lie.Consider each section- how satised are youwith all these areaso your lie? Are youputting as much time,

energy and attentioninto these areas as youwould like?

You need to be totallyhonest with yourselbecause no-one willsee this except you!

The centre o thewheel is 0 and means

you are totally dissatis-ed; the outer edgeis 10 and representsull satisaction andachievement.

Decide your degreeo satisaction rom 1to 10 and mark it onthe relevant spoke.Now draw a line to

join your degreemarks together. Howbalanced is your lie?Which areas make youhappy, satised andullled? Which areasneed improvement?

Your result shows you

the degree to whichyou are satised withyour own level obalance in your lie.

How round is it? Therounder the wheel,the more balancedyour lie. I this was aliteral wheel on a car orbicycle, how smooth

would the ride be?Pick one or two othe sections thatyoud most like tosee change in.

I youd like ongo-ing support orcreating a plan tosmooth out yourWheel, consider hiring

a coach. Interview atleast three to nd onewho matches yourneeds and your style.Feel ree to contact meor ideas, resources, or

The U.S. Census Bureau today reminded millions of U.S.

businesses that time is running out for returning 2007

Economic Census forms. Businesses that received forms

are required by law to respond. The forms are due by

February 12.

Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez calls answer-

ing the Economic Census an act of good corporate

citizenship. The Feds Ben Bernanke calls the census

indispensable and adds returning your economic cen-

sus form helps us all.

Meeting the February 12 deadline saves the government

time and money. But businesses running out of time can

get help with their form, or even request a 30-day exten-

sion, at the Census Bureaus business help site at www.

census.gov/econhelp or call 1-800-233-6136.

Yes, andits due by

Feb. 12.

Isnt that our2007 EconomicCensus form?

If your business receivedan Economic Census form,fill it out and return it byFeb. 12. Find out more atbusiness.census.gov.

uddenly, that morning...
