Quote of the day:
“To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else–means to fight the hardest battle which any human can fight.” — E.E. Cummings Reflection: It's often said that winning is better than losing. Success is infinitely preferable to failure. But when the emphasis is always on winning, we become overcautious and fearful of making mistakes. When the emphasis is on competition, winner skills develop at the expense of empathy, co-operation and compromise, the real life arts essential to human success. Perhaps the most devastating effect of the “success ethic” is what we come to believe about ourselves—that we are valued for what we can produce or achieve, rather than for who we are. It is no wonder that we begin to think that being loved depends on winning. The best motivators and coaches know that one reason to recognize achievement is to help people concentrate on images of themselves succeeding, and that such mental exercises have an undeniable effect on performance. Make a list of your achievements and talents and take pride in what only you have to offer the world.
