In this experiment conducted by Dr. Emoto, he placed cooked rice in two containers labeled "thank you" and "you fool". He had school children say the labels out loud each day passing the containers. After one month, the rice labeled "thank you" was fresh while the rice labeled "you fool" was discolored and rotten, showing that positive and negative words can impact physical systems.

Are You Infected With Excusitis
Have you ever met anyone diagnosed with
Excusitis? Better yet, have you ever heard of
Excusitis? Well….let me share some facts with you.
Excusitis is what we call the ‘failure disease’.
This is a real disease that only when you study the
difference between successful people and unsuccessful
people, it’s discovered. It’s a mind deadening thought disease.

Can Money Buy Happiness? The Answer Revealed!
Can money buy happiness? You might think this is all crazy talk but there is growing research that suggests otherwise. View this presentation and make your own conclusions.
National Society of Black Engineers (NBSE) - Defeating the Imposter Syndrome:...
This document discusses impostor syndrome and provides strategies to overcome it. It begins with defining impostor syndrome as a persistent belief in one's lack of intelligence or competence despite success. It then discusses that impostor syndrome affects women more than men and outlines common causes. The document provides a quiz to assess if one experiences impostor syndrome and reviews reasons people may feel like impostors. It concludes by offering several practices and mindsets to implement to embrace moments of doubt, build support systems, define one's own success, and make a directional statement to overcome impostor syndrome.
9 things to think about before you give up
The document provides 9 things to consider before giving up. It notes that you imprison yourself with self-defeating stories but you are alive in a vast world with infinite possibilities. Some key points are that failure is not falling down but staying down, what you've learned is important, tough times are part of life's natural balance, pain helps you grow, and life is still good despite its challenges. Simplifying your perspective and keeping determination can help you push through difficulties.
Stilettos and Self-Help Lesson One: The Mental Detox
The document provides guidance on conducting a mental detox to reduce stress and negative thoughts. It recommends spending 5 minutes quietly focusing on your breathing while repeating a positive mantra such as "I am good" to release negativity. Some tips include realizing you are not defined by mistakes, not punishing yourself, being honest with your feelings, and saying kind things to yourself in the mirror each day. The goal is to change your self-image and reality from negative to positive.
Failure.
The document discusses the importance and necessity of failure. It notes that failure is an important part of learning and that the most successful people have failed many times. Failure provides valuable experiences, knowledge, resilience, growth, and teaches the importance of creating value. Through failing, we gain lessons that help us succeed in the future. The document encourages not being afraid of failure and viewing it as a natural part of learning and improvement.
Choices That Shape
The document discusses seven key choices that shape one's career and life, including the choices to grow, give, listen, make a difference, do what is right, take care of one's health, and connect with a higher power. It argues that while outside forces create setbacks, how one responds to incidents through their choices determines whether they will succeed or fail. The choices discussed have a profound impact on whether one shapes their own life or lets life shape them.

Decision making
The document discusses the importance of making decisions promptly and sticking to them. It summarizes research that found a lack of decision-making was one of the top causes of failure. People who accumulate wealth make decisions quickly and change them slowly, while those who fail to make money change decisions often. It advises the reader to make their own decisions rather than be influenced by others' opinions. Leaders are able to succeed by making quick, firm decisions. The document encourages the reader to decide their future for themselves.

Why the title is so personal; why should I share my experience about my design career?
Before I let you know the answer you should know little things about me, I would love to introduce myself as an engineering graduate; yes an engineer who engineered himself as a designer.
I don’t have design degree I’m a self-taught designer and I don’t settle in learning new things because I don’t have that black hat with a tassel which every degree holder has.
How many of you feel that you’re an engineer and you are struggling to chase your dreams?
Coming back to the title; this presentation is so personal because it will make you relate yourself and you can see some of your shades in me.

MONEY AND HAPPINESS
The document discusses whether money can buy happiness. It provides vocabulary related to happiness, money, and expressions used in debates. Key points from the arguments for and against money buying happiness include that money allows luxurious items and healthcare but cannot buy time, kindness, or true friendship. The document also outlines the structure of a debate on this topic.
How To Blast Through Social Pressure
The document discusses how social pressure can influence whether people choose to learn from their mistakes or give up easily. While social pressure encourages people to keep trying at skills that most people have like walking, it also encourages giving up quickly at skills where most people struggle, like public speaking. However, learning from failures through repeated tries is a natural learning strategy. The document suggests ignoring social pressures to give up easily, and choosing instead to persist in trying until success is achieved. Learning how to learn and overcome failures through practice is a meta-skill that enables learning many other skills.
Think Win Win
This document discusses Stephen Covey's habit of thinking win-win. It provides examples of win-win and non-win-win thinking. It encourages seeing others' success as your own success and finding solutions where all parties achieve their goals. It advises being confident rather than letting others dictate your self-worth, and suggests activities for students to reflect on win-win thinking in their own lives.
Failingforward 110625214443-phpapp02
Failing Forward provides steps to learn from mistakes and failures:
1. Redefine failure as unavoidable and not the end, and change your mindset to see failure as a learning experience.
2. Take responsibility for your failures and don't let external failures define you. Remove "you" from failure to reduce fear of failing.
3. Learn from past mistakes and weaknesses instead of dwelling on them, and use lessons to improve yourself and help others.
Script Small Wins - Final
The document discusses how making small, incremental changes can help create momentum towards achieving larger goals. It recommends identifying one habit that is contributing to a downward trend, making an easy small change to generate an upward trend, and documenting small wins to feel a sense of progress. Tracking small successes creates "progress loops" that boost confidence and motivate further action through the release of dopamine in the brain. The key is to start small in order to begin the long journey of improvement.
Choices that shape
The document discusses seven key choices that shape one's career and life:
1) The choice to grow and remain teachable. Not growing leads to stagnation.
2) The choice to give of one's time, expertise, and resources without expecting anything in return. Giving benefits both others and oneself.
3) The choice to listen to others rather than talk about oneself. Listening builds strong relationships.
4) The choice to make a difference by adding value to others and leaving the world better than how one found it.
5) The choice to do what is right rather than what is easy. Doing right builds character.
6) The choice to take care of one's health. Physical well
JAN-Page30-31 (1)
The document provides tips for setting New Year's resolutions that will have a lasting positive impact. It recommends committing to kind communication with yourself by stopping negative self-talk. It also suggests practicing mindfulness through meditation, as meditation reduces stress and anxiety while improving focus and decision-making. Finally, it stresses the importance of getting sufficient sleep, as sleep deprivation harms one's health, concentration, and ability to achieve goals.

Choose The Right
This document discusses choosing the right and provides examples of choosing the right versus choosing wrong. It describes Steven Haymore, who created the program "Choose the Right" (CTR) and teaches its principles. Haymore teaches that choosing small acts of right, like helping others, are important.

Failing forward
John C. Maxwell is an internationally renowned leadership expert and best-selling author having sold over 19 million books. He founded EQUIP, a non-profit that has trained over 5 million leaders in 126 countries. The document discusses that average people see failure differently than high achievers and that success comes from repeated failure. It provides seven points about failure, emphasizing that it is a process rather than an event and is not avoidable, the enemy, or final. It encourages developing a purpose, eliminating excuses, and having a plan to fail forward through determination and continually advancing.
Keep Walking Never Give-up!!!!
Failure is an inevitable part of success. The document discusses many examples of successful people who experienced failures and setbacks but refused to give up. It emphasizes that champions understand it is better to face outstanding failures than mediocre successes, and that those who persist despite temporary setbacks and midway failures are the ones who can finally sign their own success stories. It encourages the reader to never give up, keep moving forward, and view challenges positively as questions looking for alternative solutions rather than as failures.
Destined for Success
Overcoming the obstacles on the journey to success. How does one overcome these obstacles and reach their destiny? When you are destined to succeed, success is inevitable.
Never give up
The document discusses the fable of the tortoise and the hare race and draws lessons from it. It emphasizes that consistency and persistence, like the tortoise showed, are more important than speed. It encourages the reader to stay focused on their goals and finishing what they started, rather than giving up or getting distracted by competitors. Several passages encourage the reader to learn from failures and mistakes but to never give up on their dreams or stop trying to succeed.
The 7 habits of highly effective teens 20190214
The document discusses key concepts from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" including the Relationship Bank Account (RBA), thinking win-win, and seeking first to understand then to be understood.
It explains that an RBA tracks positive and negative interactions with others, with the goal of making more deposits than withdrawals. Thinking win-win involves finding solutions where all parties benefit rather than some winning at the expense of others. Seeking to understand involves listening without judgment to understand others' perspectives before offering advice or opinions.
The benefits of failure student handout
Failure provides opportunities to learn and grow. When failure occurs, it is important to take responsibility rather than blame others. Experiencing failure builds resilience, enabling one to recover faster from subsequent failures. Many famous inventors, leaders, and athletes suffered great failures but were able to achieve success through gaining clarity and perspective on their goals from failure. Failure demonstrates that success is often a long process.
Success sabotaging lies by Mel Feller
Success Sabotaging Lies
By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR Offices in Texas and Utah
Let me start by asking a couple of questions, what beliefs do you have about success and personal excellence? What programs do you have downloaded in the massive computer that is known as your brain? Are they a plus in your pursuit for self-help motivation and personal growth development? On the other hand, are they holding you back and controlling what you will be able to achieve?
We have heard the opposite of the terms I have listed. Replace the opposite thoughts of these with these success belief builders. I wanted to point out the positive and not the negative.
There Is No Such Thing as Failure
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. Lloyd Jones
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, “I have failed three times,” and what happens when he says, “I am a failure.” ~S.I. Hayakawa
There is a man who failed in business at age 21.
He was defeated in a legislative race at age 22.
He failed again in business at age 24.
He overcame the death of his girlfriend at age 26.
He had a nervous breakdown at age 27.
He lost a congressional race at age 34.
He lost a congressional race at age 36.
He lost a senatorial race at age 45.
He failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47.
He lost a senatorial race at age 49.
He was elected president of the United States at age 52.
The man’s name was Abraham Lincoln.
He would not have accomplished becoming president if he had believed that failure was something to avoid. Thomas Edison thought the same way about failure when going through his 9,999 attempts to invent the light bulb.
Never Give Up!
This document provides encouragement and advice for overcoming setbacks in life. It asserts that through setbacks one becomes stronger, and that any challenge one faces is within their power to handle. It encourages the reader to refuse to give into despair when facing difficulties, and to remember that consistent action over time is what leads to success, not immediate results. Though the path may be uncertain, continuing to move forward despite challenges is a sign of inner strength.
Never Give Up
The document discusses themes of perseverance and not giving up in the face of failure or imperfection. It encourages the reader to not seek perfection, judge others, or dictate to others as we are all human and prone to learning, falling, failing, and getting back up. While we live and help others, we should never give up no matter the challenges, as success can be impossible if our efforts are saturated with a fear of failure. Many of life's failures are due to people giving up right before achieving success.
China association of payment and clearing review and its members
The document discusses China Association of Payment and Clearing (CAPC), including what it is, how to become a member, and current members.

Holiday O.P.E.N. Watch
For thirteen years, Resource Interactive has studied retailers online during their high-stakes holiday season. Why the holiday focus? We’ve noticed that certain competitive advantages become highly conspicuous during these days of intense consumerism—the holiday season can either make or break the year for retailers. In other words, it offers us the opportunity to survey a retailer’s biggest moment and best effort.
Of the 40 online retailers we surveyed using our OPEN framework, we’ve chosen to feature fifteen in the final report. We focused on the social media, mobile and web site innovation, uncovering quite a few bright spots in a season of innovation and inventiveness. See how retailers fared—from Amazon to Zappos and everywhere in between—and take a look at the most novel marketing moves of the holiday season, which will surely become the everyday fare of 2010. Are you ready?

Self defense lesson10 environmental self-defense
The document discusses the importance of being knowledgeable about environmental issues in order to defend against threats to the Earth. It notes that overconsumption of goods leads to increased waste and trash, and warns that the path of consuming without thought is disastrous. While cleaning up landfills now, global warming will still cause coastal flooding of many cities. The document encourages reducing consumption by distinguishing needs from wants, reusing and repairing items when possible, and recycling, stating that every small effort makes a difference.
Self defense Lesson 9: alcohol and drug use
Drugs and alcohol disrupt the brain's communication system and cause incorrect messaging by fooling the brain's pleasure center. Teen brains are actively growing and have more receptors, meaning drugs stay in the brain longer than in adults. Any substance use teaches teen brains to form addictions faster than adult brains. Studies show teens who used marijuana before age 16 performed worse on IQ tests and had affected brain regions responsible for decision making. Drugs and alcohol affect teens more severely and for longer than adults, increasing risks of negative effects and addiction.
Bullying
1) Bullies tend to have poor social skills and feel badly about themselves, so they try to put others down to feel better.
2) Standing by when someone is being bullied empowers the bully and isolates the victim, and anyone could be the next target.
3) Challenging the bully directly or having others confront the bully are effective ways to stop bullying, according to research.
Lesson 8 your education
The document discusses differences in median income and unemployment rates between individuals of varying education levels. It reports that median income is $24,000 for high school graduates, $41,000 for bachelor's degree holders, and $16,000 for those without a high school diploma. It also notes higher unemployment and incarceration rates for high school dropouts compared to graduates and recommends staying in school.
Dangerous situations
The document provides tips for surviving dangerous situations, with the biggest rule being that there are no rules when safety is threatened. It advises doing whatever is necessary to escape to safety, including lying, yelling, breaking things, or hitting hard. It also recommends trusting instincts if something seems wrong or off, such as seeing strangers or requests for help that seem out of place, and paying attention to feelings of unease. Four tips for survival are to react immediately, resist, never go to a second crime scene, and never give up.
Self image and the media
This document discusses the influence of media on self-image, particularly for women and girls. It notes that half of 4th grade girls are on diets, and over 50% of 9-10 year old girls feel better about themselves when dieting. The media sells an unrealistic and unhealthy goal by portraying models and celebrities who weigh 25% less than average women. However, studies show that most people do not actually find extremely thin bodies attractive. The document concludes that women in the media do not reflect real women's bodies and that society is "sold" an unhealthy standard of beauty through pervasive media messaging.

- 5. ATTITUDE : By Charles Swindoll “The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances,
- 6. ATTITUDE : By Charles Swindoll, cont. than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
- 7. ATTITUDE : By Charles Swindoll, cont. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am Convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…. we are in charge of our attitude.”
- 8. TIPS TO DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE Don’t worry about things that are out of your control
- 9. TIPS TO DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE Retrain how you think. Yes, you CAN change how you think! An example, when you encounter a negative experience or person, write down three positive things about it or them. Examples?

- 14. "So you think that you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free." ~ Tom Robbins "
- 15. You know, the fact is, that most people who do great things in this world are not geniuses—they are often not more gifted than many others. The difference is that these people have the courage to live the life they were called to live: it's not that they are never afraid--it's that they don't run from their fear: they invite it in, get into it, own it, and it loses its power over them. As you meet resistance, you will discover strength, beauty, depth, you never knew you had. " ~ Marilyn Sewell
