From six years gone by, worth another look.<\/em><\/p>\n

In my last post I outlined the importance of embracing the 90\/10 rule.  Today I have something to share from my own experience relating to the 10% part of the rule.  You can definitely apply this to your career and many other areas of life.<\/p>\n

My wife and I moved our 8 year-old daughter to a new school back in December.  I won't elaborate on our reasons, but in the end we thought it better for her to be at a different school.  We prayed, we researched and we took action.<\/p>\n

It was my thought that my daughter would transition well.  My main reason for thinking this way was her personality (social animal<\/a> who has never met a stranger) wiring.  I felt she would make friends, rise to the occasion and the rest would be history.<\/p>\n

Now here's what I didn't expect: a little girl that desperately wants everyone to like her.  I know those of you out there who are counselors would remind me that I didn't prepare her for the inevitable rejection she would encounter.  Fair enough.  <\/p>\n

My main point here is that-smart or dumb-I really didn't expect this challenge.  And I am discovering things about my daughter that I didn't know before.  Fortunately, I have a wife who carries much wisdom and I am being sensitive to my daughter's movement through a big change.<\/p>\n

So what if I denied that my daughter was experiencing this?  What if I ignored it?  You know what the results would be.<\/p>\n

Here are some specific insights for dealing with the 10%:<\/p>\n
