1 Price You Have To Pay For Success!Written by Gordon Bryan
What will it cost you to achieve your goal?What price will you have to pay? Well obviously I don’t know you, and I don’t know what your goals are, but I do know this: Whatever your goal is, there is one unavoidable price you must pay. Here it is – Whatever it takes! That may sound glib, but it’s a simple truth. In order to achieve your goal, whatever it is, you will come across hurdles to be crossed and sacrifices to be made, and whether you make them? That’s a decision for you! Here are some examples… Maybe you have to stop watching hour after hour of television soap operas, to free up your time. Maybe you have to get an evening job for extra finance. Maybe spending less time at pub will free up time *and* finance! Your income may drop at first. You may find that friends don’t like new you, they see less of you anyway, and they drift away. You might find a barrage of criticism and negativity coming your way from those less motivated than you. Those are just examples, they won’t all happen, you may find that none of them happen, but there will without doubt be some price to pay.
| | Stress Reactions in Introverts and ExtrovertsWritten by Nancy R. Fenn
One of biggest differences between introverts and extroverts is how they react to stress.Some people don’t understand how introverts react to stress. Because of this, they think that all introverts are “neurotic” or mentally ill. Let me explain why this is a misperception. When extroverts are stressed they “act out”. They may smoke, drink, yell and scream, throw a punch, stomp around or generally raise roof. Although this behavior is difficult and even obnoxious, it is not considered “mentally ill”. When introverts are stressed, they withdraw. They do this to recharge their batteries, not because they are neurotic. Introverts need time alone to bring order back into their inner world. They give energy to others and receive energy when alone. Let’s look at some of things that can stress introverts. •Introverts are territorial. Someone cannot take your seat, move your stuff, lean on your desk, ignore your closed door or borrow your clothes without making you very angry. •Introverts need time alone to recharge their batteries. If denied time alone, you may become irritable and depressed. • Introverts value privacy. When your boundaries are disregarded, when someone has a loud personal conversation on their cell phone in your captive presence, such as waiting in checkout line at grocery store, you can be annoyed and offended. •Introverts fear failure in public and experience deep humiliation because of it. •Introverts prefer to communicate in writing. They may feel exhausted by too much verbal communication that “isn’t going anywhere”. Introverts hate small talk and cell phones. •Introverts like to be prepared. If rushed to present a solution or opinion, they may be extremely uncomfortable and sometimes refuse to do so at all.
