Self Development - How to Develop Self-Confidence

I was reading the following paragraphs written by Napoleon Hill and just wanted to post them here for YOU ;)

"Selling yourself short is effrontery to your Creator.”
The greatest person now living is the one who is reading this sentence. If you do not recognize this truth, then you should begin at once to follow these instructions:

Adopt a Definite Major Purpose and begin where you stand to attain it.

Write out a clear statement of what you believe to be the advantages of your Definite Major Purpose, and call these into your mind many times daily, in the form of a prayer for their attainment.

If your Major Purpose is to attain something material, such as money, see yourself already in possession of it when you call it into your consciousness.

Associate yourself with as many people as possible who are in sympathy with you and your major purpose, and induce them to give you encouragement and faith in every way possible.

Let not a single day pass without making at least one move toward the attainment of your Definite Major Purpose, and remember that nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished without ACTION – ACTION – ACTION!

Choose some prosperous, self-reliant person as your “pace-maker” and make up your mind not only to catch up with him in achievements, but to excel him.

When you meet with defeat, when obstacles get in your way and the going is hard, do not quit, but turn on more will power and keep on keeping on.

Follow the habit of never running away from disagreeable circumstances, but learn to transmute them into inspiration for achievement of your desires.

And remember that LOVE and Hate had a falling out. Hate drew a ring around himself that shut LOVE out, but Love got busy with a great big grin and drew a bigger ring that took Hate and his little ring in again.

Lastly, recognize the truth that everything worth having has a price one must pay to get it. The price of self-confidence is eternal vigilance in carrying out these instructions. Your watchword must be PERSISTENCY.

And remember, if you sell yourself short through lack of self-confidence you thereby express ingratitude to your Creator, whose one and only exclusive privilege to you is that of mastering and using your own mind for the determination of your own earthly destiny.

Business & Economy - Wall Street Crash & U.S. sub-prime market (Part 1)

History of economy would suggest that once every couple of generations there is a complete prosperity-depression cycle that occurs within the financial market, and economy as a whole. The last time this happened was in the 1920’s, and 30’s. It started with the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and then it moved through to the Great Depression and ended beyond World War II. The current global financial and economic situation resulting from crisis caused by the U.S. sub-prime market appears to be the start of one of these historic cycles at this point in the maturation of the human race. Despite the fact that U.S. economy is in recession, there are many contradictory opinions about another financial and economical crisis. The purpose of this blog is to clarify similarities and differences between the economical events in 1920's, and 30's with current global financial and economic situation. The twenties in America were a very good time. Production and employment were high and rising....

Business & Economy-Confused Branding Part 1

I came back to Tehran to live for some months after 4 years. It seems that we had a boosting advertising market, people started to talk about Marketing Strategy, Marketing Research, Companies started to open positions in Marketing Management, Advertising Management fields. Yes, I know it is little bit funny and too much sad, Since all other countries started to think about this science more than 50 years ago!! But I would be proud of all these Iranian companies, who started to Re-Think Marketing, if they walk what they talk! I do not know how many billboards have been installed in highways since 4 years ago, I just can say too much.This is good, because it represents a progress in Marketing culture, but you can see unknowledgeable Marketers and greedy advertisers in confused companies with uncertain management strategy in all those advertising. One of these companies called "TAK MAKARON". They are the biggest pasta producer in Iran. TAK MAKARON has started when there ...

Moving from Basic DAD Scrum Based LifeCycle to Continues Delivery (Kanban Based) Lifecycle

I was thinking what the title of this blog post could be, I had couple of options to select from and decided to use a title that uses Disciplined Agile (DA 2.0) Lifecycle. Other options for titles were: Moving From Scrum to Kanban From High Performing Scrum Teams to Hyper Performing Kanban  The bottom line is that at some point you may want to move away from Time boxes to a flow of work and service oriented teams and improve performance and throughput without massive and sudden organisational change.  As always, I only share my experience and this may not apply to all situations, context is important.  Another reason that I selected “Moving from Basic DAD Scrum Based LifeCycle to Continues Delivery (Kanban Based) Lifecycle” as the title, was that for many it is a question mark how to navigate through DAD life cycles. and I think this blog post could be one of the ways to navigate.  Context: A Delivery Team started with Type A Scrum with 2 weeks Sprin...
