- Circle of concern and circle of influence

Circle of concern (the things that happen around you but you can’t do much about it) and
circle of influence. (those are the things that you can influence, like what do you do with
your day)
2.2. Begin with the end in mind
- If your ladder is not leaning to the right wall, every step you take gets you to the wrong
place faster

one left and they are fighting about it. Then mom comes and ask why are you fighting they
explain and mom takes a knife and cut it in two pieces.
Bad solution she should have asked questions she should have asked why they want the
orange
