Certain pressures are part and parcel of the modern materialistic civilization. Perhaps you can not avoid them. But there are certain types of situations, which can be managed without pressure. By mishandling those situations, and many times with imaginary fears, you build a fence around you and lock yourself within the fence, throw the key of the lock somewhere, and blame others for your plight! You lose your peace of mind and blame others for it. Remember the fox that says ...

Many years ago, one of my brothers gave me a book on audio tape that I think was from the Day-Timer folks. I don't remember the title, but the basic theme was how to make better use of your times. One thing I do remember was a chapter on doing what's important not what's urgent. Do what's important, not what's urgent.... What exactly does that mean? What's the difference? Aren't most things that are urgent also important? No, not necessarily. Most people reading this artic...

In fact, the thought that problems happen to absolutely everyone should come as a welcome relief. Problems are not the result of being a bad or good person. They happen to good and bad people alike. Sometimes, even despite of our best judgments and careful planning, problems still meet us in the most unexpected c...

What people often neglect, however, is how important the mental and emotional outlook can affect performance. The best of them all are not only the ones with the best skills or with the most practice, but the ones with the tough...

How can I involve these things into my goals and yet be happy at the same time?? It took me a while to understand his question. (Note: I?ve tried to rephrase his question to make it easier for you to...

As the species whose thinking ability supposedly separates us from the animals, we really don't spend much of our life reasoning. Most of the time our minds get stuck on cruise control. Thinking takes up too much time and requires too much energy. Imagine having to think about every decision we make. It wouldn't leave us much time to accomplish anything else, would it? Most of us have a systematic way of looking at the world. When this mode is operating, our minds are perfect...

What is leadership? The dictionary defines leadership as, ?a person who by force of example, talents, or qualities pays a directing role, wields commanding influence, or has a following in any sphere of activity or thought.?
