How To Use Rejection To Fuel Success

by: Marion M. Chamberlain


I dont think that there is one person out there who hasnt encountered rejection in one form or the other in his/her life. Many of us have heard about Colonel Sanders, who upon retirement, decided to take his chicken recipe on the road and convince others that he had the best recipe out there.

by: Jason Rickard


Have you ever been in a situation, where you felt uneasy because of something you think you may have forgotten to do, such as switching off an appliance at home, or perhaps a feeling that you annoyed someone whom you wanted to get along with really well.

by: Jason Rickard


Panic attacks are one of the most frequently experienced disorders in the world. It is estimated that 4 or 5 out of a hundred people are severely affected by it, in one way or another. Because of panic attacks, a casual mood can turn into an eye-popping, jittery, cant sit-still-on-the-chair mood, like what a husband feels when hes eagerly waiting for his wife to give birth to their child.

What Does The Prospective Employer Want ? Get That Job !

by: Shaun Stevens


How can you work towards getting that job or career you want and desire?

When you go fishing you take worms. This is what the fish want. You may like strawberry pie. This is not what the fish like.

Opportunity - How To Invite It Into Your Life

by: Steve Gillman


Opportunity only knocks once, the saying goes. It‘s a terrible thought, designed to scare you into trying something that may or may not be right for you. A better use of the metaphor is to say that opportunity knocks many times, but we choose not to answer the door for various reasons, both good and bad. On the other hand, why wait for anything good to come knocking, when you can simply invite it over?

Of course that didnt work. The more I focused on it, the more miserable I became; my misery, like

Conquering Fear: Step Away From The Panic Button

by: Gary Keehner


"All of us are born with a set of instinctive fears- of falling, of the dark, of lobsters, of falling on lobsters in the dark or speaking before the Rotary Club, and of the words "Some Assembly Required." - Dave Barry

Overcoming The Resistance To Change

by: Stuart Gardiner


It has been said that people will do more to avoid pain than to experience pleasure. I would like the reader to consider a slight adjustment to the above phrase and follow the word ‘avoid‘ with the word ‘anticipated‘. We never really know if something is going to be hard or painful until we actually do it. The only thing that actually stops us doing something is our minds idea about something built from ‘False Eviden
