Kavita Kalatur’s Three Pieces of Advice to Her Children: You Can Control Your Effort, Not the Outcome

WashingtonExec’s Three Pieces of Advice Series:

“If you could give your kids only three pieces of advice, what would they be?”

Today’s advice is from Kavita Kalatur, President at NetImpact Strategies Inc.

• “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou. Consider this for every relationship you nurture and for every decision you make.
• You can control your effort, but not the outcome. Give a true 100 percent in effort to everything you take on and learn from every outcome – success or failure.
• Communication is a critical skill for any profession you choose. Pay attention in your language arts class!
