sucess personal growth

We all want to be successful and enjoy our lives, but not everyone in life is successful. Most people want to be winners, but unfortunately many remain where they stand. A lot of people ask what the secret to success and personal growth is. Is there any formula for success in life? What is the key to success and personal growth?


The magic formula for success does not exist. Success and personal growth are a sum of goals and strategic actions to achieve these goals. Success is not a chance, but a choice.


In order for us to succeed in life, we need to know right steps that need to be taken for success and personal growth; we need to develop strong self-management skills.

Here are some practical tips for success and personal growth:

1. Set your goal, know exactly what you want. Some people set goals that are too general. Be as specific as possible about what your desired result is. The clearer goal is, the shorter the path to success. It's like keywords that you type in to a search engine to find something. If you try searching for 'web site' in Google, there are millions of results. To make your search more effective, you have to be more specific. The same applies to your goals.

2. Positive mental attitude. Catch and eliminate negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Things we do not like, things we do not want cause negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Negative thoughts prevent you from achieving success, happiness and your goals. If you have thoughts about what you do not want each day, there are chances that it will happen to you. You need to align your thoughts with your goals.

3. Focus on your goal every day. Think of your goals, think of desired end result and visualize your desired end result in vivid details. It is important to have positive thoughts, feelings and emotions when you think of your goal. It's the Universal law that what we concentrate on becomes real. Focus on achievement, success, energy, confidence and joy.

4. Confidence. When you are confident, you become a magnet to success. Self-confidence is the key to success in all areas of life.

5. Take actions. This is essential step for success. Think of all the things you must do to achieve your goal. Just start doing them no matter how big or small they might be. Every inch you move forward gets you closer to your goal.

Not being successful is simple. Success and personal growth require hard work on yourself.
Some people want to achieve financial success and others may want to find a real love or improve existing relationship.

My best wishes for your success and personal growth,

Belletti for Blues


LONDON, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Chelsea on Thursday agreed to sign Brazilian right-back Juliano Belletti from Barcelona.
The English club confirmed the deal in a brief statement on their website. It said terms were agreed between the clubs and the transfer would be completed when Belletti, 31, accepted personal terms and passed a medical examination.




The fee is believed to be around 5.5 million euros.




Belletti joined Barcelona from Villarreal in 2004 and helped them to win league titles in 2005 and 2006. He scored the decisive goal in Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the 2006 European Cup final in Paris, his only goal for the Catalans.




Belletti's move to Stamford Bridge may signal the end of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's pursuit of Sevilla's Brazilian full-back Dani Alves, 24. Sevilla have rejected several offers from Chelsea.




Belletti lost his place in the Barcelona team last season following the arrival of Italian World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta. He made only 13 league appearances.

Go!Go! Chelsea....

energy and passion

"The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm (Passion) to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come."


When you have the energy to fuel your passion, success is sure to follow close behind. The 1-2 punch of energy and passion is the key to success in life. In order to be successful in any endeavor you will need to overcome much discouragement, frustration and failure and the key to rising above these things is energy and passion. That is why I always say that "energy is the fuel to ignite passion and passion is the engine of success!"



In the movie Cinderella Man, Russell Crowe plays a down and out boxer that makes a dramatic come back. The back drop to this movie is the great depression and previous to the great depression Crowe's character, Jimmy Braddock was a champion boxer that lost his way. After his come back a reporter asks him, "You have lost before, what's the difference this time?" Jimmy Braddock then answers "I know what I'm fighting for" The reporter follows up with "And what's that?" and Jimmy comes back with what I feel is the most memorable and inspiring line in the whole movie, he simply says, "Milk". That says it all; now knew why he was fighting. He was fighting to feed his kids. He was able to look defeat straight in the face and say "okay, one more round." He was able to overcome failure because he had the energy and passion to achieve his goal of putting milk on the table. I feel this is the story of America. A spirited passion for a worthy goal that will let nothing stand in her way. "Okay let's go one more round" was the unspoken mantra for generations of Americans and what has made America the greatest country in the world.



Many years ago when I got started in sales, I didn't know how to sell but I was passionate and energetic. One of my first clients told me that as my skill increases it is natural for my passion to wane. He told me the key to my success will lie in my passion and if I can combine an infectious passion with proven sales skills

New Definition on HR

Now this is what I call HR


Please see below our new office code of conduct:

Dress Code
1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.

2. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.


3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.


Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holiday Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Toilet Use
1. Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.
2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.
3. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.

Lunch Break
1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.

2. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Born Poor, Drop Out and Got Rich - The Billionaire's Story

It's a true fact that it's not where you are born or whom you are born to that determines how your life will be. Its what you do with your life that determines how your life will be. Not long ago, Forbes Magazine publishes a special report on The World's Billionaires. It's a snap shot of who's who of the super rich.

The IKEA Story


IKEA Founder Ingvar Kamprad made headlines in early 2004 when Swedish business magazine Veckans Affarer reported that he had surpassed Bill Gates as the world's wealthiest person. While IKEA's unconventional ownership structure makes this the matter of some debate, there is no doubt that IKEA is still one of the largest, most successful privately held companies in the world, with over 200 stores in 31 countries, employing over 75,000 people and generating over 12 billion in sales annually.



Kamprad was born in the South of Sweden in 1926 and brought up on a farm called Elmtaryd, near the small village of Agunnaryd. Kamprad began to develop a business as a young boy, selling matches to neighbors from his bicycle. He found that he could buy matches in bulk very cheaply from Stockholm, sell them individually at a low price and still make a good profit. From matches, he expanded to selling fish, Christmas tree decorations, seeds and later ball-point pens and pencils. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him a reward for succeeding in his studies. He used this money to establish what has grown into IKEA.



Kamprad has a reputation for being, well, "cheap". He takes the subway to work, and when he drives, it's an old Volvo. Rumor is that when he stays in a hotel, if he feels the urge to drink one of those expensive sodas from the wet bar, he replaces it later with one picked up from a nearby convenience store. He also encourages IKEA employees always to write on both sides of a paper.



Forbes magazine estimated his fortune at US$33 billion, making him the 4th richest man in the world.

How to Live a Life Filled With Appreciation & Enjoyment

Have you ever had something taken away from you only to realize how much you appreciated it after it was gone? Most of us have taken someone or something for granted. We only truly realized how much that person or situation meant to us after the fact.

We often waste way too much of our time and energy focusing on what we don't like, what we're worried about, or what we think needs to be fixed, changed, or enhanced. We live in a culture obsessed with "bad stuff." Just turn on the news, listen to the conversations and negative attitudes of the people around you, or pay attention to the thoughts in your own head.

1) Be Grateful - Focus on the many blessings in your life and all that you have to be thankful for.

2)Choose Positive Thoughts and Feelings - Make a conscious decision to transform your negative thoughts and feelings into ones that empower you

3) Use Positive Words - Pay attention to the words you use with others, about things, and in speaking about yourself.

4) Acknowledge Others - Focus on what you appreciate about the people around you and let them know. Be genuine and let others know the positive impact they have on you and your life.

5) Appreciate Yourself - Celebrate who you are, what you do, and the many gifts and talents you have. Self-appreciation is not arrogance. It's an awareness of your own power and it's the key to self-confidence, success, and fulfillment.

We don't have to wait until everything is handled. We don't have to wait until we get it all perfect. And, we don't have to wait for people to do things exactly as we want them to. We can start appreciating life, others, and ourselves exactly as we are, right now.
Don't wait 'til it's too late!

Globalization

Ever come across the word and meaning of globalization? I bet everyone does, i came across a funny and well describe of the meaning of globalization, take a look..
An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This is sent to you by an Indian, using Bill Gates's technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Pakistan lorry drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....That, my friend, is Globalization

Triumphing Over Tough Times

Right now many people are facing tough times. Life as we once knew it has changed and we may find ourselves confronting situations we have never dealt with before.

While we might not be able to control things that are occurring in the world, we can control how we react to what is happening. Specifically, we can control how we use our minds and thoughts to get through difficult circumstances. The following are simple steps that will not only help you handle any challenges, but will allow you to move through them to achieve success.

Handle day-to-day challenges, but envision your goal, when we go through difficult times it is easy to get bogged down in the minutiae of the situation and forget where we are headed. Take time out to envision what life will be like when the situation has reached a successful outcome. Handle the day-to-day details such as making follow-up phone calls, finding new ways to market yourself or your business, solving daily problems, but always remind yourself of how things will look and feel when you are triumphant. This will provide you with the motivation to continue taking action and it will also help you maintain a positive attitude.

Focus on what is right in your life. When we are confronted by problems it is very easy to let them control our perspective on life. We spend much time and energy focusing on what is wrong and very little time thinking about what is right. On a daily basis, come up with a list of things that are good in your life, things for which you can be grateful even as you travel this tough road. It will help you realize that even though the world may seem to be falling apart around you, you still have many positives in your life.

Follow these steps whenever you find yourself facing life’s bumps, detours, or valleys. They will not only help make the journey easier, but they will lead the way to your ultimate triumph.

Dealing with Rejection

A handsome man in his early-thirties enters his favorite restaurant and sits at his regular table. Looking around, he notices a really gorgeous woman, in her mid-twenties, sitting at a table nearby, all alone, sipping on a glass of white wine. He calls the waiter over and asks him to send her their most expensive bottle of champagne.
The waiter gets the chilled bottle in a bucket and takes it out for the approval of the girl saying, "This is from the gentleman over there", pointing towards the man. She regards the wine coolly for a second, takes out a note paper and pen and writes a note for the man.

The waiter, who was lingering for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman. The note read: "For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, at least a million dollars in the bank and you must have seven inches in your pants". After reading the note, the man composed a reply.

He handed it to the waiter and instructed him to deliver it to the lady and to bring the champagne back to him. The reply read: "For your information - I happen to have a Ferrari F430, a BMW M6, a Mercedes 600 and a 500 SLR in my garage; plus I have over twenty million dollars in the banks... But, even for a woman as beautiful as you, I would NOT CUT OFF TWO INCHES. So, please, just send the bottle back".
