Have you already read the 90/10 principle by Stephen Covey. If no you may want to read it (http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dilumb/Resources/The_10_90_Rule.pdf. Are you applying it now? What are the effects and how did it change your life?

The link you included did not work, but I was able to find a pretty good explanation of the rule elsewhere, though I cannot copy and paste the link to what I found. Basically, ten percent of life is out of our control, things that happen cannot be helped. The other 90 percent, however, depend on how we react to things that happen to us. I think this is a pretty good rule to follow, though I can't say it is life changing for me because I know decisions I make are very important. I think I could be doing more to fulfill my potential, though I am afraid of consequences and taking risks much of the time. But I have noticed it is very easy to complain about things that can be changed. Instead of complaining, it is important to really look at a situation and try to change it.

Oh sorry for that. Yes your right that's how 90/10 principle work we really have no control of the 10% of what happens in our life but the 90% was determind by how we reacted in a situation. I already tried this in some situation like and this really works I think the best thing also is learning to understand and consider others feeling when reacting to someone or to a situation
