The CIRCUS of LIFE

Let's Juggle!!

Stop trying to juggle elephants

The result of juggling

elephants is that no one,

including you,

is thrilled with the performance.

Be the Ringmaster

The ringmaster has

the greatest impact on

the success of the circus.

The ringmaster cannot

be in all three rings at once.

The key to the success

of the circus is having

quality acts in all three rings.

Create the Line Up

There is no shortage

of acts for the circus.

Every act must

serve a purpose.

Work with the Performers

Every member is

important and has

to be fully engaged

on the right acts to

make the team successful.

Take an Intermission

Intermission is an

essential part of

creating a better

circus performance.

Create a Standing Ovation

Constantly offer positive

reinforcement for

good behavior,

and consistently give

constructive feedback for

negative behavior.

Plan for the next performance

Your circus is only

as good as your

next performance.

The circus is a change of pace- beauty against our daily ugliness, excitement against our boredom. The lion tamer and the acrobat are brave and clever against our cowardice and clumsiness and the clowns make our selfish tragedy seem funny. Every man and woman and child comes from the circus refreshed and renewed and ready to survive.
