A Call To Do Better

Written by Clyde Dennis


I’m calling you out. Issuing a Challenge. Relax, It's not to a dual or anything quite that complicated or dramatic.

Here's what I'm thinking...

The thought has occurred to me how much betterrepparttar whole world would be if I, in my own way were able to be a better person myself and get 10 others to focus on themselves and dorepparttar 128722 same. What do I mean? Glad you asked. Listen up--

There are reason’s and examples all around us so that those of us with any understanding at all should be able to realize we have simply got to do better.

We must do better at connecting with one another. Real connection. Connection that understands one persons downfall is a step inrepparttar 128723 wrong direction for all of us. Connection that brings sadness to your heart when another human fails to reach their own full potential or gets sucked into one of life's many black holes. I don’t think our current methods of connecting isrepparttar 128724 way things are supposed to be. Example, When did it become OK to get joy from seeing others struggle. Don't say it's not happening. We all know it is.

Doing better starts with realizing that we are more alike than we are different. We as a race, as in human, have many more things in common than we do differences. Don't just take my word for it, examine it. We all, every one of us, have basicallyrepparttar 128725 same hopes and desires. We all feelrepparttar 128726 same feelings, and we're all wantingrepparttar 128727 same things. Doesn’t it just make sense then that we should be helping one another more as a way of moving forward individually?

The Characteristics of a Winner

Written by Clyde Dennis


As kind of a hobby I like to watch people. Just kind of sit back and quietly watch how they react and respond to others and their environment. Throughrepparttar course of this activity I've noticed a few things thatrepparttar 128720 real winners in life seem to have in common. I'd like to point out a few of these characteristics forrepparttar 128721 purpose of reinforcing them.

So without further delay or introductory verbiage...

Winners have a pleasing attitude and personality. - Success seems to come more easily to those who have a pleasing personality. This is not to say that you should bend to everyone's wishes. Rather, develop an attitude that is respectful of other's opinions but true to your own beliefs. Be flexible - don't be so rigid that you can't accept another's opinion. Be willing, even eager, to learn from others. Changing your opinion in light of more facts is a sign of strength of character, not weakness. Winners are extremely teachable - but atrepparttar 128722 same time very much their own person.

Winners control their emotions and guard against emotional responses. - You are susceptible to errors in judgment when you let your emotions get inrepparttar 128723 way. Of course, everything we do is done based somewhat on our emotions, but strong emotions have little place in decision making. Winners seem to understand this. Hold your emotions in check. Try to delay decisions if you are in an emotional state. Learn to ignore your emotions and use reasoning to arrive at your decisions, like winners.

Winners bubble over with enthusiasm. - Enthusiasm works like a magnet - it draws people. It's a pleasing personality trait that people like to be a part of. It seems to be contagious -repparttar 128724 people around you become enthusiastic, too, and become more cooperative. Enthusiasm! Get some on you.
