And that question is: “Is it good for me?” If I get the answer “yes” then I go ahead otherwise I drop the idea. For example, before eating any food I ask myself “if eating this food is good for my heath?” If the reply is in affirmative then I eat otherwise I leave it.

Effective Ways in Building Trust

Whether you are a group leader, or a storeowner, or even an ordinary man walking down the street, one thing is for certain: people don’t trust you. Why should they? They don’t even know who you are.

Just because you smile, just because you start a company or an organization, doesn’t mean that you are trus

Is Magic Dangerous?

I love magic. I know many magicians and often attend magic conventions and shows. I haunt the dealer room, where magic tricks are sold. I'm looking for the tricks that make people gasp in surprise and delight. Unfortunately, most magic is on the level of a prank or kid's joke.

Motivation Leads to Change

Motivation Leads to Change Discomfort may often be the reason why individuals change. Receiving poor grades make us know what we should study.

It might be a bitter experience, a relative’s tragic story, a wonderful story, or an inspiring speech which may help us get up and get the appropriate amount of determinatio
