The Tigers 15 Point Scoring Principals

Courtesy of the LSU Basketball team

1. Never compromise your integrity - for anyone or anything.
2. Don't try to be all things to all people. Learn to say no politely and pleasantly, but immediately and firmly.
3. Never wait for something to happen; Make it happen! Do it now.
4. Do not be overwhelmed by the task that is before you. Don't try to do everything; Just do something.
5. To accomplish your objective, first begin. Second, concentrate exclusively on the project at hand. Third, don't stop.
6. Let circumstances dictate your priorities; Let priorities dictate your actions.
7. Focus your efforts on the crux of the problem. Don't expend your energy on peripheral issues that are not crucial to producing results.
8. For maximum effectiveness, do only what you do best and let others do the rest.
9. Concentrate on the long-term, permanent solutions rather than stop gap measures.
10. Do not waste time telling people what you're doing or what you're going to do. Results have a way of informing the world.
11. Don't make promises you cannot keep; once made, keep them.
12. Don't be tempted to take the easy way out. Have the self-discipline to do the right thing rather than the instinctive thing.
13. Don't become lax: Play every point as though it were match point.
14. When the ball is on the one-yard line, don't risk a fumble, carry it over yourself.
15. Avoid premature celebrations. You're not through until you've dotted all the I's and crossed all the T's - and the check has cleared the bank.
