How to Stop Laziness and Output Failure?

Idle, unengaged, and always behind. These are the dreaded traits of the lazy. Having this kind of attitude toward your life and your work can do a lot to set you back. In particular, it will prevent you from exploring the joys of creating value. Instead of materializing creativity, lazy people will opt to consume superficial entertainment, whether watching T.V, eating junk food, or simply lying around all day. Given the many negative consequences of this habit, laziness is considered in all major religions as a sin. It’s one of the seven deadly sins in Christianity and is believed to…

Why You Need High Self-Efficacy?

The ability to persist to see your goals realized is causally connected to your self-beliefs. The more you believe that you are built for the challenges of life, the greater your chances of overcoming the odds and achieving your dreams. This is known in psychology as self-efficacy; or your beliefs about your capabilities to succeed. The beliefs you have about yourself will determine whether you will confront your fears or submit to them. If you believe that you have the inner strength to march on, then you will keep fighting. But if you believe that you don’t have what it…

They spend months and years visualizing the success they want to see in their lives, and some will follow through on those visions… for as long as it’s convenient. Then they stop.

The Ultimate Time Management Tool

“You can always get more money, but you can never get more time.” – Jim Rohn. The benefits of an effective time-management system are numerous. It allows you to optimally allocate your time and to strategically tackle your tasks to completion. Moreover, if you’re a goal oriented individual and have dreams you would like to see realized, then time is your most valuable asset. Time, however, is a variable you can’t control.

Breakups are hard. They’re very hard. And they tend to affect us emotionally, psychologically and physiologically. In fact, research shows that the emotional response to a breakup is similar to the complicated grief we experience following more traumatic losses, such as death and being told you’re terminally ill.

Your appearance may further change as a result of taking less care of yourself such as poor personal hygiene and cleanliness. On the psychologically front, you begin to…

And he said this to me after seeing me hesitantly and anxiously get up to introduce myself at a first-year student orientation. I knew in my heart of hearts that he was absolutely right. While I dreadfully waited for my turn to introduce myself that day, I looked at the other…
