On my recent trip to China with a group of CEOs we attended the 2010 Global Entrepreneurs Summit of the Far East.  This highly esteemed Buddhist Monk shared these three tenants. Short and simple to relay, hard and complicated to play out.

1. Never forget your initial resolution – of marriage, of parenting, in your business. Remember your initial vows.
2. Patience.
3. Never hold grudges – it becomes your burden.
