There are so many choices when it comes to what we can listen to in car. My friend Debra, who is a realtor and spends large chunks of time in her car, listens to books on tape. She can get through a book in a week that would have taken much longer to actually read. There are self-help tapes, educational tapes and even "How To" tapes.

Car College doesn't have to be expensive. Many libraries have current tapes and CDs to loan and I have even found gently listened to tapes and CDs at garage sales. Car College is a wonderful way to expand mind while getting to where we want to go. If you are wondering how you will fit in all books you would like to read or need a boost to your self-esteem, Car College might just be answer. Your car can become a vehicle to move you forward both physically and mentally.

Although hearing no and receiving rejection isn't easy, it is a part of life. We may never become totally comfortable with rejection, and we can come to realize that no isn't a stopping point. No is a sign that a new opportunity is around corner. No never means end unless we want it to. It means that we have to find a different way, look in a different direction, ask someone else, or ask in a different way. I received 47 nos when trying to find a publisher for my book. Had I stopped at any one of those nos, I would have missed out on 48th one that said yes. No just means "next opportunity." Learn to take no in your stride and whatever you do - don't take it personally. When people say no, it doesn't mean anything about you, it is all about them. They may not be interested. They might not understand opportunity, or even what you are offering, or they simply may not be in a place to say yes. Whatever their reason, don't let it become your excuse to stop.

Find someone who does see value, apreciates what you have to offer and has ability and power to say yes.
