Achieving Your Goals

Here are some thoughts about ways to get yourself moving forward and improving your life. Telling people about any new goals and resolutions is a two-edged sword. Some people will try to undermine you, but others will support you wholeheartedly. So pick the people that you tell carefully, but do tell some people: a public commitment can really help you to do what you need to do, and keep you focussed when the going gets tough.

Staying Alert While Driving

You may drive for your work, to visit loved ones or to go on vacation, but the most important thing is to arive safely. According to a National Sleep Foundation (USA) poll 36 percent of respondents admit to actually nodding off or falling asleep while driving. So what are the warning signs and what can you do about it?

Taking Responsibility For What Happens

A man went into the teacher’s office, and he was immediately ordered to lift a large table standing by the door. He was somewhat taken aback but tried to do it, without success. “I’m sorry, I can’t,” he said. “It’s too heavy.” “No, “the teacher corrected him. “It’s not too heavy – you’re too weak. The table’s weight is the table’s problem. The fact that you can’t lift it is yours.”

Learning From Losing

The implication of this is that you can't learn anything by winning. A lot of people who are interested in personal development seem to support this view.
