Rise and Shine on July 24 (make yourself the best at what you do and you make yourself indispensable. No one will be able to knock you off your perch), July 26 (give free rein to trailblazing impulses. You’re going places and everyone knows it!), July 27 (your unflagging optimism really brings out the best in people), and July 30 (helping people to help themselves always helps you in the end)

Duck and Cover on July 25 (don’t explain away co-workers’ odd behavior. Something’s up and you need to clue in), July 28 (bend a knee even though a certain higher up doesn’t deserve it. It’s the politic thing to do), July 29 (it’s always darkest before the dawn of realization. Don’t quit this close to a breakthrough), and July 31 (think of that piece of furniture on its last legs as symbolic of how threadbare some things have become.  It’s time to refurbish)
