Here are 9 out of 24 tips on how to overcome fear of failure. For 13 more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/how-to-overcome-fear-of-failure/.
1. Identify Causes
Identifying where the fear of failure starts is the first step to get over it. You should sit down, breathe deeply, and try to figure out why the fear of failure appeared. The reasons may be negative thoughts, pessimism, or wrong predictions.
2. Research Alternatives
You should think of as many potential consequences as possible. Doing it this way helps you aware of all difficulties you may have, and be able to determine what should be done for success.
You should prepare at least one alternative solution to use when the initial plan does not work.
3. Treat Failure As A Lesson
One of the most efficient tips on how to overcome fear of failure is to consider it a good lesson or experience. If you fail this time, you will still get something called experience. With this experience, you will get success easier next time.
4. Make A Concrete Plan
Making a concrete plan is another tip on how to overcome fear of failure. What you need to do is to prepare carefully for every single step in the plan. The more detailed your plan is, the easier the success comes.
5. Take Action
The best way to eliminate fear of failure is to take action. Practice makes perfect. Taking action is a chance to experience the facts and gain knowledge. If you dare not do anything, you will never know how to do them right. Everything is difficult when you do it the first time. After that, it will be easier.
6. Balance Your Life
No matter how important the success is, you should still balance your life with other activities rather than focusing on the success only. You should spend time doing your hobbies to refresh your body and mind so as to come closer to success.
7. Believe In Yourself
You should believe that if you try, you will be able to overcome difficulties. Do not give up easily. If you try hard, you will have chances to succeed no matter how hard the case is. If you give up, you will no longer have any chance to be successful.
8. Learn From Others
Learning from others’ stories or successes is also a tip on how to overcome fear of failure. Successful stories will encourage you to move forward. You can also learn from those people the way to carry out their plans for success.
9. Free Your Mind
This is the most important technique on how to overcome fear of failure at work and in life. The fear is from your mind. If your mind is full of negative or pessimistic thoughts, it will create fears. Therefore, you should learn to clean, and refresh your mind by doing yoga or meditation every day. The quieter the mind is, the better it can hear and see, and the easier you can get success.
Life is a wonderful gift from God. It is given freely and it needs to be lived freely. But today when we look around the world we come across situations that make people unhappy and we see people looking for happiness elsewhere.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.
