Section three of Dave Kinney's comments (see original post on 2/18 for details) pertains to paying attention...
You ought to start paying attention to:
-Who your friends are – jettison people who undermine your credibility
-Unprofessional drinking and drug habits – stop it
-Following through on your word, especially when it is a huge inconvenience
-Well-roundedness (current events and interests beyond your profession) – be interesting
-Your 15 second commercial –sharp, crisp, compelling
-Your uniqueness statement (yes, it is different from your 15 second commercial)
-Honesty – tell the truth always, no matter how painful
-Bragging – stop it. Don’t tell people you are great, just be great
-Self-discipline – practice delay-gratification
-Attitude – positive can-do
-Treat everyone equally (don’t just play lip service to this principle. Strive to be Gandhi- like)
-Be a spectacular public speaker – work your tail off at it. It’s a craft to be honed.
