The document outlines "The 7 Deadly Sins of Students" according to Miss Vanstone, which are: 1) Lack of knowledge and attention, 2) Lack of passion, positivity, and enthusiasm, 3) Doing exactly what you've always done, 4) Fear of failure, 5) Never pausing for a break, 6) Never testing the impact of your creative output, and 7) Confining yourself to boundaries others set up. For each sin, Miss Vanstone provides a short explanation and encourages students to watch related video links to help avoid falling into these sins.
Don't think of yourself as a creative? Think again! Everyone is capable of strengthening their creative muscle. Here are a few tips on letting your creative side loose.
Life in academia can be very fulfilling: On the path from being a master student to a senior professor, we achieve mastery, we have a lot of autonomy in our work, and we have the nice purpose of improving human knowledge.
However, we are often struggling. Because life in academia is very competitive and sometimes isolating, a difficulty that a lot of us face is the lack of confidence in our own capabilities, work, and achievements. This can lead, for example, to procrastination, to the fear of asking questions, or of applying to a high-level position...
I hope this talk will be the occasion to discuss how we can manage to turn these difficulties you (or your colleagues) face into advantages.
Imposter Syndrome is a condition in which one feels like they aren't qualified to do what they've been tasked to do or have gotten to where they are through sheer luck. Not only have I personally experienced this and continue to almost 20 years into my career, but almost every developer I've ever met has dealt with it.
When developing/designing/managing/cooking, do you ever feel like:
- You are faking your skills
- You are only where you are due to circumstances and/or luck
- Anyone could do what you're doing
- You don't understand why you're being trusted with the task
- At any moment, someone is going to discover how bad you are at your job
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be suffering from Imposter Syndrome. Congratulations. Acceptance is the first step to recovery.
In my presentation, I'll talk about common ways that Imposter Syndrome expresses itself and some concrete tips & tricks on how to deal with it, both for yourself and coworkers or employees.
Do you feel like a fraud? Are you not sure whether you can do the work you are supposed to? You are not alone, and many high-achievers are unable to internalize and accept their successes. They often attribute their accomplishments to luck rather than to ability, and fear that others will eventually unmask them as a fraud. This slides are part of a workshop.

10 questions developers should ask themselves.Stephen Young
So you want to become a web developer?
Well then it’s time to put down that “Learn Super Duper Language v8.3 in 24 hours” book. Instead, make it a habit to ask yourself these 10 questions every day.
I've presented this deck as part of the Holistic Young Planners Education for APG Belgium on April 21 2015, at mortierbrigade Brussel.
It's meant to help young planners improve cooperation with the creative department.
Learn how to recognize and manage your emotions. Spot the emotions in others. Become more skilled at managing the emotions in others. Have better relationships with those around you. Move from being emotional to emotional intelligence. All of this is necessary to truly be prepared for the future of work.
Check out these fifteen steps to master the art (not the science) of persuasion. How can you influence others to land that thing you want so you can go out and #DoTheThing
The cats out of the bag! No longer is this elusive topic an enigma anymore. We've uncovered the greatest myths about creativity. These ideas will make you think differently about the world of creativity and business in general.

A 20-minute talk on overcoming impostor syndrome -- the persistent feeling that you're not qualified to be doing whatever you're doing, and everyone's going to find out you're a fake any minute now.
Slide deck by Christina Keelan for Community Leadership Summit 2016. Presents imposter syndrome, metrics, and burnout. If you have any suggested reading, please email christina[at]rethinkdb.com!
Opening a presentation well is crucial to successfully communicating your message in a manner that gets remembered. This deck gives tips on how to do just that.
“Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success.” - J.K. Rowling
Working in the technology industry as a woman is difficult at the best of times: women make up 59% of the total workforce, and yet they compose only 30% of the workforce at technology companies, and a much smaller percentage of technical (15.6%) and leadership (22.5%) roles at those companies. As women, we constantly feel that we must better represent our demographic in order to improve the outlook for women generally. Our failures in the workplace poorly represent our gender as a whole, so we must not fail - or so we tell ourselves.
Furthermore, high-achieving women are especially susceptible to what has been coined as “impostor syndrome,” or an inability to see the value of one’s accomplishments and a fear of being viewed as a “fraud.” Because we are all high-achieving women here at IFWE, we’ve all likely experienced this phenomenon at one point or another. How can we possibly be comfortable with public failure when we are already worried about being “found out?”
But what if we aren’t looking at things from the right perspective? As J.K. Rowling suggests, failure is something that we can use to be better and create better things. Rather than avoid failure at all costs, and perhaps take fewer risks as a result, how can we learn to lose our fear of failure and take bigger risks?
In this session, I’ll talk to you about how failure is an essential part of the creative process, both at work and at home, and how “taking the safe route” can ultimately be your downfall. From there, we’ll discuss actual techniques that you can leverage, using some examples from my own instructional design career, to help you evaluate your failures and rise up better and brighter than ever before.
As Samuel Beckett said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” He sums up the value of the process in this short statement. Together we’ll learn how to be comfortable with failing again and again, and how to fail better each time around.
How do you become a better writer? Is it something you’re born with or can you learn the skills that are needed. According to Paula Pant, you can get better. Here’s how.
Do What You Love (or your work life will totally suck)Denise Jacobs
We’ve all been there: working jobs that we don’t like for “good money”, while having the nagging suspicion that we could be doing something so much more satisfying and fulfilling. This is an opportunity to get past fears and instead be inspired and excited about doing what you *really* want to be doing for work in your life.
In the technical feverish world every one become a techie by using mobile or other electronic gadgets. Though we promoted as a techie we should not loose our creativity and innovation skills.

I reverse words… I see in opposites… I connect unrelated possibilities.
I have the gift of dyslexia and I see and take a lot of supposed missteps. To capitalize on this tendency to see in different directions, whenever something goes wrong or when I hear a wild idea, I instinctively ask, “What’s right about it?”
The answers that have come from asking, “What’s right…” have changed my life and hopefully the lives of my clients.

Hugging tigers and herding house cats (or 13 principles that help creatives o...Shane Austin
We creatives seem to be particularly prone to self-doubt, losing focus, and generally being a willie-nilly-scaredy-cat when it comes to change. All of these things lead down a dark path to one thing—loss of creative passion. Shane Austin talks about ways we can improve our work by exploring the unknown, learning from failures, sharpening our gut and taking on risks.

How to be successful - eBook brought to you by VisualDNA
We’re often taught that success defines us. As children we're weaned onto the notion that our self-worth is dependent on how successful we are. When we do something successfully our whole person is given a global rating: ‘good boy,’ we’re told when we answer a question right; ‘good girl’, they say when we pet the long-suffering cat more gently. It’s no surprise, then, that you’re here trying to find out how to be a “success”, but before we go any further, it's worth reassessing what that means.
Summary:
Don't be “a success”, do successful things
Forget the winning formula
Clarify your values
Actualise
Don't wait for inspiration
Take action
Do things. Tell people.
Take responsibility.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

7 deadly sins of students
1. In this course you must
promise to avoid the
“7 Deadly Sins of
Students”
Miss Vanstone on…
“The 7 Deadly Sins of Students”
2. Sin #1: Lack of knowledge &
attention
Deeper level (creative/innovative)
thinking cannot be productively applied
until a certain level of knowledge is
gathered.
Absorb yourself in what is already known
- Give it your attention!
If you don’t have the knowledge,
creativity will drown in misdirection.
4. Sin #2: Lack of passion, positivity,
& enthusiasmEnthusiasm is the lifeblood of
success.
Success happens when you are
passionate, positive, and
enthusiastic about what you are
doing.
It’s extremely difficult to pioneer
creative solutions for things you
have absolutely no interest in.
When your mind is stimulated by curiosity
and a fundamental interest in the subject
matter, your creativity and motivation will
automatically accelerate.
6. Sin #3: Doing exactly what
you’ve always doneThere’s a saying that the definition of
madness is doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting different
results.
If you keep doing what you’ve been
doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve
been getting.
We are all a product of our past
experience, but we must step outside of
our comfort zone and attempt unfamiliar
activities if we hope to achieve
breakthroughs in our future. The
foundation of practical success is
simply trying new things to see what
8. Sin #4: Fear of failureMost successful ventures (breakthroughs)
step into the unknown, slowly taking you in
a direction you haven’t gone before. Any
journey into uncharted territory holds a
certain level of inherent risk.
Many people are scared to accept this
risk, which in effect squashes all their
creative ideas before they have a chance
to develop them.
If you hope to exercise your
creativity/deeper-level thinking, you must
get over your fear of failure. Confidence
and passion together provide the solution.
Have confidence in yourself and passion for
9. “There is no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t
believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t
had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was
your age, I always did it for half an hour a day.
Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six
impossible things before breakfast.”
Lewis Carroll
If you hope to be successful, you must get over your fear
of failure – Read this!
11. Sin #5: Never pausing for a
break
Where are you when your most creative
ideas / deepest thoughts come to you? I’m
guessing it’s not when you’re sitting at your
desk working, or consciously trying to think
creatively. Rather, it’s when you’ve given
the logical side of your brain a rest and
you’re doing something else.
12. Give the logical side of your brain a rest and do
something else – Like this!
13. Sin #6: Never testing the impact
of your creative outputSome of the most amazing ideas never make it
into the public eye simply because their
creator doesn‘t realize the significance and
impact of what he or she has produced.
There’s more to learning than simply having
an idea and executing it once behind closed
doors, or only in the classroom. Ideas that
leave an impact on the world are
relentlessly tested, modified and tested
again.
Scientists do this in a laboratory with other
scientists. Painters do it by
painting and then displaying their art in a
gallery. Bloggers do it by translating their
thoughts into stories and articles, and
15. Sin #7: Confining yourself to
boundaries others set upNo matter how creative you are or much progress
you make with your ideas, there will always be
negative people who insist that whatever you’re
trying to do is impossible.
When you come across these people, don’t try to
reason with them. Instead, forget that they
exist. They will only drain you of your
creativity and waste your time.
