Thinking for Success - The same method does not work for everyone.

Written by Mark Claridge


I am always concerned that there are so many books available onrepparttar subject of being successful, but unfortunately many of these books are read and then discarded.

It is very important that when you purchase a book on any subject thatrepparttar 122802 author is an expert in his or her field. So when purchasing an e-book on how to be successful make surerepparttar 122803 author can back-up there credentials

From studying this subject on how to be successful, rich and happy I have reachedrepparttar 122804 following conclusion;

The same method does not work for everyone.

It is important for you to recognise where your weaknesses lie and to build from there, but ifrepparttar 122805 recommended method does not work for you personally, do not continually pursue it. Onrepparttar 122806 other hand you have to be open to new ideas and concepts and try them.

This may sound like a contradiction but it is not intended to be. You see there are many ways to create a meaningful and successful life, and for many this does not mean earning sacks-full of money. Although I must admit I am personally money driven.

So always chooserepparttar 122807 right program for you. Do not buy a book on how to make money from selling used cars ifrepparttar 122808 real problem is you have trouble motivating yourself. If you have low self-esteem, purchase a book or enrol in a program that specialises in improving your self-esteem, before you even think about how you are going to become a millionaire. If more people did this they would not be buying books that once read, just lay onrepparttar 122809 book shelf.

If you look at very successful people they have all succeeded by using as set method, a formula, a state of mind. I call this “the correct mindset”. All of these methods differ in some way dependent upon what works forrepparttar 122810 individual person. One common denominator however, is, they all want to succeed.

I supposerepparttar 122811 words “want to succeed” are an under-statement. They are determined to be successful, it’s a fact that they don’t even think about failing, and failure is not an option. So what sets these people apart fromrepparttar 122812 rest? Their “mindset”.

Chatty Cathy

Written by Judi Singleton


We all run across these people who talk and talk and talk. They forget to include you in their conversation. You know who I am talking about here. They arerepparttar ones who run a monologue on you and you just stand there for a while so shocked that you can't move then you yell fire! to get away fromrepparttar 122801 conversation.

Now this person, who is chatty cathy, is using me for attention and approval she does not seem to be able to give to herself. She does not offer me anything she just takes my energy. I call these people emotional vampires. Now if I just stand there and listen I am doing two things that I never want to do in my life. I am caregiving afraid to hurt this person's feelings and I am enabling her to continue in this non-productive behavior.

Now I have someone in mind as I write this article. She is so needy. I do feel sorry for her but I do not want to just give her pity. I also do not want to just stand and spend my precious time as she pacify or calm chronic insecurity, her lonliness, and her emptiness. Whenever, I am out with her she traps not only me but store clerks, bank tellers, whoever will listen and don't know how to get away from her without being impolite. I avoid this person whenever possible and finally had to just tell her I didn't have time to be atrepparttar 122802 end of a one sided conversation. I told her it drained me when she talked and talked and tried to fill up at my expense. Sound mean I don't think so. Most people would just avoid her and not answerrepparttar 122803 phone when her number comes up.

Now it is my belief that she needs to heal her addiction. The inner child in her is looking for attention. Perhapsrepparttar 122804 attention she never got as a child. Every time she traps someone into to listening to her she is handing away her responsibility. It really is her that needs to listen to herself and pay attention. She needs to give that child approval. She wants someone else to take her responsibility. By handingrepparttar 122805 responsibility for her life back to her and treating her as an adult I am showing her respect that she deserves.
