3 Ideas From Me

II.

"Frankly, the most valuable items in our house might be a squat rack, a bench, and a set of weights. I thought I was purchasing gym equipment, but I was actually buying peace of mind."

III.

"Pay attention to how readily people talk themselves out of things—and be wary of adopting the same narrative. People will often try to convince you their limiting beliefs should become your own. They do not. Find your own ceiling."

2 Quotes From Others

I.

Novelist and writer Marguerite Yourcenar on helping others become who they are and not who we want them to be:

"Our great mistake is to try to exact from each person virtues which he does not possess, and to neglect the cultivation of those which he has."

II.

Executive performance coach Julie Gurner on the power of better questions:

"The questions you ask yourself will largely determine the answers you get.

• "Why am I not successful?" You'll get answers that berate you.

• "How can I succeed here?" You'll get answers that push you.

Be deliberate in the questions you ask yourself."

"How can I succeed here?" Outstanding question.

easy....don't ever quit trying and think of setbacks not as failures.....but as speed bumps....slow down and address the issue....make/take notes....drive over the speed bump....only true failure is when someone completely quits trying

Why am I unsuccessful - answer is still maths and english - I need to improve mental maths and read alot more/or just read - people are quite good they get newspapers etc - I think I might start getting the papers

Also sometimes I can’t remember things

[mizzou7016 in reply to Vonus5591]

I do remember things...but sometimes I don't do them just right and people feel the need to belittle me for it....despite the fact that I do that enough for all of them

[Vonus5591 in reply to mizzou7016]

I really liked mind maps which helped by Tony Bunzan - on youtube but his book was brilliant - you just draw branches around the keywords you want to remember/use and draw diagrams/drawings and use different colours but it gets rid of the need for unused words and allows you to link main ideas together - do have alook - got me A in computers
