    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, “A Great” Must be in the Circle of Friends 8 years, 2 months ago

    Success certainly doesn’t happen overnight. It’s certainly not easy trying to obtain success but with determination anyone can succeed. If we’re not surrounding ourselves with ‘the greats” then we will have a […]

    • It takes a lot of motivation and determination to success in something. It can’t just happen in one day and we all must know that.

    • Having positivity around does put a spring in one’s step specially for those who tend to look at the dark side of life.

    • Success is a journey not a destination. It takes mountain of motivation, dedication, and perseverance in order for someone to succeed. Whatever your dreams in life, you need to hold on to that dreams, never give up, and find away to achieve that dream and make it a reality. Don’t look with those people who bring you down but trust in yourself that you can make it no matter how long, how hard, how narrow the path you must travel. But i know at the end of your journey, if you perserved nothing is impossible for you to succeed. It’s a matter of choice and hard work.

    • Thats great advice. If you want to be a millionaire, sorround yourself with millionaires. There is a lot of proven truth in this including in spiritual realms where transference of spirits is recognised. Its not all watertight though. There are those who promise the sun and you are not even going to reach the moon. You have to locate the kind of person known as the destiny helper. These are people who will shepherd you to a platform where you will realise your potential. And they are not easy to locate. It seems that in life, good things are not too easy to locate. Majority are destiny killers and would not be pleased to see you scaling the ladder of success.

    • The secret of success is not one single, pithy tip. The “secret of success,” if there is one, is that success is brought about by a combination of smart habits, a tenacious spirit, and a whole lot of luck. Making a few conscious changes to your behavior and attitude could prove to quite rewarding.

      Avoiding the unpleasant parts of work doesn’t make them go away. Break the seemingly unmanageable into manageable chunks, then sprinkle those less-enjoyable aspects of a task into that other stuff that you really like. Building up a huge hunk of the bad stuff to deal with all at once, after you’ve completed the enjoyable stuff, is just going to leave a sour taste in your mouth at the end of a project.[1]
      Delaying gratification—“gratification” being whatever it is you’d rather do than the thing you’re procrastinating—has been shown to increase your productivity and enjoyment of the gratification itself.

      Understand that the road to success will not be unending, continual joy. There will be difficulties, setbacks, and moments where you question your commitment. These will occur whether you’re on the right path or the wrong path, so understand that while it might be hard sometimes, you’ll need to make an effort to re-establish and embrace that positivity you felt at the outset of your endeavor.

    Life can be quite challenging and sometimes while going through we’ll experience periods of wondering whether those challenges will soon cease. Sometimes troubles come to rebuild and sometimes they’re filled with […]

    • When I was young I watched a movie which starred famous American comedian and actor Jerry Lewis. It was called “The Nutty Professor”. There was one thing the main character said in the movie that I latched on to and carried it with me into my adulthood. This may not be an exact quote but the professor (Lewis) said: “You might as well learn to love yourself because you’re going to have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.”

    • Many are the times we feel hopeless in our lives because of the many things we go through. When I was younger I used to love my life believing in what everybody said. I would get so frustrated at times and even give up on stuff that i did eventually and that did not help me at all.
      But when I became an adult nothing or no one would tell me something that would put me down or make me feel desperate of hopeless. This is after I realized who I am and that am just as capable as anyone else to do what others do. I loved myself to the point where some people thought I was being selfish. But the thing is whenever I wake up I always used to tell myself that i am beautiful, I am intelligent, I am anointed, I am able and i am fearfully and wonderfully made. So if I don’t love myself, then who will. That’s the first thing you need to do always and everything else will fall into place. Even though people may look down on you, never take it literally, remember who you are and push on no matter what.

    • You are right. What people say affects us. We are affect by criticisms in a psychological, physical and spiritual way. Never criticisms can drive us to insanity if we let. We suffer from severe illness most especially depression if some criticizes us negatively. That is why we must have people, family, friends, colleagues who motivate, empower and uplift. If someone is not doing that for us we must excuse them from our company. We must also be upliftment for other people.

    There’s nothing wrong with “shining your light” but sometimes some can get so caught up with being in the limelight that they start to lose themselves. Being any kind of figure whether it’s a public figure, […]

    • Yes, spotlight leaves a bad effect on human and mind plus human soul because those who attract the public attention by any means lose first of all privacy and liberty of day and light.

      Getting popularity in any field is dangerous for health as I think and the writer think is correct.

      Being a celebrity or simply being famous has its own advantages and disadvantages. The common perception is that celebrities and famous personalities have everything in life. After all, the grass is always greener on the other side, isn’t it?

      The truth is that there are as many downsides and disadvantages of being a celebrity as there are the number of benefits. Who said being famous was always fun? Decide for yourself—read on in this article for for five advantages and five disadvantages of being a celebrity.

      What do you think would happen if Paris Hilton walked down to the supermarket on a regular day? She would be mobbed and hounded for autographs and pictures. Celebrities and other famous people cannot lead lives of normal people.

      Famous people are often followed or harassed by phone, email, or mail by fans or followers who cross the line and become obsessed. Obsession can turn into threats and even physical harm.

    • Being in the spotlight alone for a long time is nothing but a selfishness. And not allowing others for fear of not remaining there alone is cruel. One should realize that being a celebrity by virtue of her/her craft may not set the stage for him/her continuously for years together. One has to leave the seat and allow others to occupy it. He should realize that it is the time that had given him an opportunity to wear a medal or crown and it would never be his always and that the same day would shift to some other personality offering an opportunity. This is not losing the opportunity or favor of others. It is only a shift from one plane to another plane.
      Leaving a seat should be considered not as dishonor but should be considered with a spirit of acceptance.This spirit of acceptance will actually make them win the love of even more people with great respect,love,and honor.

    • I have a problem with speaking in public: large crowds intimidate me.this is why I found it hard to sustain a project in front of the class or stuff like that

      • Some are afraid to speak in front of small crowds and large crowds. Once fear is removed. The voice will flow and project what is needed. Everyone has to overcome a fear of something. There’s always a way. Be blessed.

    • Thi is a common problem with most of the people as said. They afraid of speaking and afraid to speak as per their thoughts and those who speak will have no thoughts.
      It is something like a person without knowledge can fill any number of pages with so many words and a person who is clear in his thoughts will search for words and fail to write a number of pages. He will have a lot of subject on his hand but can not express them in writing.
      But we should not consider that somebody is bullying us and it is our fear only which is leading us to wrong conclusions. Once this is fixed in our mind a little practice will make one perfect.
      The only fear in my opinion they have is not building up a coherence between their ideas and their expression. That’s all.
      They generally have a fear of not getting the appropriate words. This makes them feeling inferiority complex for no reason.
      The feeling of being intimidated by someone is only a psychological fear that one can overcome very easily through determination and practice.

    • This is a nice tribute to the late Michael Jackson. It’s true that the contributions of many humanitarians are under-appreciated and even unappreciated. But most humanitarians don’t do what they do to receive the praise of others anyway. It’s a good thing too because a lot of charitable works might not ever get done!

    • True that Michael Jackson was truly talented no one can beat him to that. Even though he is fine his presence in the music scene still lingers on. He was good at what he used to do. Who didn’t like his music? I don’t think there is anyone who would say that his music was bad or boring, I personally was a huge fun of Michael, and when he passed on I was very sad. Despite that happening his music always makes me smile because it lives in me. Many times you will find that when a person dies, whether it’s a celebrity or not, death will always bring unpleasant surprises. some people will take the advantage to spite whoever has died no matter what they did. So when someone dies you will always expect people talking bad, others will say how that person was not a peoples person or maybe he never used to help anyone so it’s expected. So Michael people loved him it’s just that they didn’t know what do when it was all over or how maybe they lacked a way that they would have come close to him but never got a chance that’s why they talked badly about him.

    • I love to sleep. That’s a fact. But I always choose the place where I sleep. Like Shavkat up there, I am also really comfortable when alone. But that doesn’t mean that I’m a loner. I just love the quiet. This is why me and my friends are always together; we look for quiet places to hang out to because we would rather stay in those places to relax, sleep or talk about things that interests us. Or we could go to a bar and listen to the music while dancing. Haha

    • The best place of comfort on earth if the lap of other or the beloved’s heart and eyes and putting your head on the beloved’s coral breast and sleep for a long long time I am talking as a poet.

      We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile. Earl Nightingale

      I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other ‘gentleman’ stuff is a chess game, especially these days.

      Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything.

    • There are many places which each individual can find peace and calm. You have covered many such places and methods by which one can do so. I find peace when alone and doing some work or being in some silent company. Not in a noisy group or a crowded area. There are several places where you can remove you stress and clutter in the mind.

      Some of the places I find calm and peace are staying nearby a lake or water body and looking at the placid water, being at a place where you hear sounds of nature with greenery around. A place where there is a scenic view of mountains or plains or any other place which provides such picture postcard view. Looking at colors or paintings can also calm and remove stress.

    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, Keep the Negativity at a Distance 8 years, 3 months ago

    There’s no way of getting around not being exposed to some negativity but we certainly don’t need to a be surrounded by toxicity. Those who offer no encouragement, no positivity, and no kindness aren’t the sort of […]

    • Overcoming negativity is tough, at times very much tougher if we have lots of such negative people around us, but we can overcome negativity if we are persistent and stick to our paths.

    • Always away from negative people who have negative thoughts in the brain such people are avoid of faith in God and his laws. The best took of keeping negativity away from yous is pray to God with sincere heart.

      Just as toxic radiation is poison to our health, negative energy is also disastrous to human beings. Don’t be misled into thinking that because bad vibes are invisible or hard to identify at their source that they’re any less deadly to your creative genius than poisonous gas—they aren’t. And don’t be conned into believing that denying or ignoring negativity will protect you from its deadly effects either—it won’t.

      how to Avoid Negativity Eight Important Steps to Follow

      Run a “vibe check”. Recognize the quality of the energetic atmosphere at work every day. Simply testing the psychic temperature of the workplace will allow you to make the necessary adjustments to keep your own energy intact.

      If you sense dissonance, take a deep breath. Get grounded, surround yourself with positive vibes, and resolve that you won’t let anything you encounter throw you off center.

      Resolve to let the negativity bounce off you. Don’t take any negativity you run into personally. Commit to focusing only on your goals and intentions for the day.

      Acknowledge the bad vibes. Recognize them in some way, if only to yourself—but be discreet and subtle. You don’t need to announce them to the entire office. This will only spread the negativity you want to clear even more.

      Be kind, loving, and patient with those around you because they need it. Focus on work, and if negative conversation arises, listen neutrally and compassionately if you can’t gracefully get away.
      Observe, don’t absorb what’s going on around you. If you can unobtrusively escape, do so. Your feet are two of your most powerful defenses against negativity. Turn them in the opposite direction of the problem and leave.

      If you can’t make a run for it, surrender and accept the situation. Give the bad-vibe dispenser (BVD) your complete attention for a full five minutes. Encourage this person to complain, gossip, attack, and whine to their heart’s content.

      Just listen, breathe, and stay neutral—don’t engage, resonate, or rescue. When the five minutes have passed, ask with complete sincerity if there’s anything you can personally do to help right now. If you hear, “Yes, there is,” and you can help, then do so. If you hear, “No, not really,” then say, “I’m sorry. I really hope it works out.” Then go back to work.

    • Racism is a curse on earth we all must uproot it with joints hands all over the world otherwise new war will break out on earth of Racism and its results will be very bad all over the world. I think politicians and priest of all the countries priests racism underhand among which Juws are predominant.

      Racism, xenophobia and intolerance are problems prevalent in
      all societies. Each and every one of us plays a role in either contributing to or breaking down racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes.

      As an individual in society and as a member of your community, you have likely encountered racists and racism. Whether you notice a friend posting a racist comment online or you experience a racist moment with a stranger, you may wonder how you can counteract racism and actively address racism. Though everyone may have different experiences of racism, depending on their own race and background, it is important that we all work together to put a stop to racism online and in daily life.

      To get a better sense of how structural racism, institutional racism, and individual racism came to be, you should study up on the history of racism in your country. Doing this will give you a better understanding of why racism is a systematic and ongoing problem.

    • I’ve said it before; America is a racist nation. There has never been a real attempt to get rid of the hate. If you go to America, you have to be conscious of the colour of your skin at all times.

      Although American TV tries to portray the ‘mixed’ group, that is not true. If you are white you are to stay over there, if you are black you are to stay here, and only associate with people who look like you.

      You ‘cross the line’ people respond to you unpleasantly.

If there were no instruments or voices, people would still make music out of their surroundings somehow. 🙂

    Reading certainly is fundamental. Reading helps keep us up to date. Imagine the world without books or reading material. We wouldn’t learn much now would we? There’s all sorts of material. Finding informative […]

    • Many successful writers say they got their start because someone gave them a book to read. In fact, many actors and people in various other professions say the same thing. Anybody who learns to read will never live to regret it.

    • Yes, reading makes man full and practice makes men perfect it is for those who read books and act upon the books message are happy on earth as the readers of the holy Bible.

      A continuous reading makes men active and provides information about the whole world what the people of other countries are doing and writing or the coming generation.
      The Benefits of Reading are as…
      Reading keeps your brain young. …
      Reading can melt away stress. …
      Reading boosts your vocabulary. …
      Reading improves empathy. …
      Reading can encourage life goals. …
      Reading helps you feel more connected.

      Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer’s and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation.

      Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you’ll ever face.

      Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.

      Therefore reading is must for all of us in extra time at home or late night.

    • I spend most of my time working online, with the exception of Sundays and Wednesday nights after Bible study. Have no issues with stress, cyber bullying, etc. When people act negative towards me and make distasteful remarks, etc., I click the OFF button in my brain. Sorry. I don’t have time. I got work to do!! If the other mean person had productive work to do too, they wouldn’t be expending their energy doing dumb stuff like picking on people they probably don’t even know! As for its effects on my health for sitting too long all day, reading and typing (and watching videos)? (Yawn.) I’m too old to care. 🙂

    • I agree with you treathyle Fox, many people work a lot on the net actually for some it’s like their life depends on it, so staying away is like torture for them. The net is a media platform for everyone to do and say whatever they want. So someone just needs to be careful with the friends they make on different sites on the net, that way you are able to put tabs on everyone you chat with. One thing the internet can have all sorts of frustrating issues but the best way to avoid problems is to shut your ears from anything negative

      • Before there was eMail and the Internet, there was the telephone. In my old jobs, I spent a lot of time on the phone working with co-workers all around the United States. Never physically met some of them until long after we have developed a good working relationship. Either they came on a business travel trip to where I was working or I made an official trip to their workplace. It’s all about establishing a line of communication, working together, and getting the job done. It’s just that some folks think they can “hide” using the Internet and it gives them a license to do things to you that they would not do to your face. Those kind of people are just silly! I can’t say “childish” because I have a grandchild, about 7 years old, who handles herself on the Internet in a more mature manner than some grown folks!

    • Spending too much time on internet is injurious to our mental and physical heath because man is the man’d peace of heart and mind and inanimate things cannot speak to men just like computer does not talk to men but we read the computer in lone.

      I read once in the magazine that Researchers at the University of Gothenburg found that those who constantly use a computer or their mobile phone can develop stress, sleeping disorders and depression.
      The team studied the habits of more than 4,100 Swedish men and women, aged between 20 and 24, over the course of a year to reach this conclusion.

      ‘It was easy to spend more time than planned at the computer (e.g., working, gaming, or chatting), and this tended to lead to time pressure, neglect of other activities and personal needs (such as social interaction, sleep, physical activity), as well as bad ergonomics, and mental overload.’
      The study also found a correlation between stress and always being available on the phone, especially regarding the burden of guilt for not replying to messages.

      Even people who played video games online faced a greater risk of suffering from depression, with Thomee saying: ‘Daily computer gaming for 1–2 hours meant an increased risk for symptoms of depression in the women.

      ‘Often using the computer late at 48 night (and consequently losing sleep) was a prospective risk factor for stress and sleep disturbances, including reduced performance, in both sexes.’
      The team said people need to set limits on the time they spend in front of a screen or phone, and limit demands on their availability to avoid mental disorders.

    • Cybersecurity issues have become front page news virtually every week – breaches, fraud, theft and a whole host of other cyber crime events read like the police blotter from a large metropolitan city where criminals run rampant.

      At the same time, regular reporting on increased cyber defense spending, more info-sharing and collaboration, new technical solutions, businesses getting serious about cybersecurity, governments legislating cyber safety through governance and regulation, and a flurry of other recent activities designed to keep us all safer have also made their way to the front of our everyday news.

      It would seem to be something of a contradiction. Each week, new stories of cyber woe. Each week new reports of improved diligence in the fight.

      This contradiction brings on the kind of cognitive dissonance that won’t go away until you’re able to fully analyze what’s happening between what’s being done to combat cybercrime and what we’re all seeing each week in the news. What it comes down to is that sooner or later, we’re all victims of cybercrime and it seems obvious that what we’re doing now isn’t working perfectly.

      Having spent the bulk of my career working in and around cybersecurity and intelligence domains, I realized recently that I’d never really looked at the problem from the perspective of businesses that are the chief consumers of cybersecurity solutions.

      So, with a few years of fresh data on hand collected from meeting each week with companies and their cyber teams to exchange info and talk about security functions inside their businesses, I set out to comb through the info I’ve collected in an attempt to at least shed some light on the dilemma.

      What follows below are just a few observations gleaned from my experiences that, for me at least, help lay the foundation for an explanation or two – and maybe a way for us to help ourselves. Be warned, though! Not all of it is particularly pretty. But, then again, neither is the cyber problem itself.

    • Yes most of the politicians coming into power misuse the power of people against the people who supported them in election. It is our nation evil fate that every politician use his power misuse against country and its people. This situation is all over the world.

      In every country misuse of power is made but especially against the poor not against the rich because the persons elect the candidate behind the scene that is why the powerful politicians cannot make laws against them at any cast.

      If we are going to resolve the closed-heartedness of our politics and our politicians, we need to find the root. And we need to really understand it so we can do something truly constructive with it and about it.

      I say that Politicians who cynically misuse the power of the state for personal or political benefit are a far greater threat to democracy than criminals, even organised gangs, write Gary W Crooke and Tony Fitzgerald, who were responsible for the Fitzgerald Inquiry.

      I see law and order crisis in all countries as one writer has said that “Law and order” is a favourite issue for ambitious Queensland politicians seeking publicity and political advantage.

      The community wants to be safe, and is understandably angry at violent thugs, organised criminal gangs, the sexual abuse of children, murder, rape and a wide range of other anti-social behaviours. A perceived “law and order” crisis allows a government to bolster its electoral support through tough talk, a feigned macho image and extreme laws.

      Slow down. There are times when you are so used to doing everything in a hurry that you don’t notice how fast-paced your life has become. Simply reading the words, “Slow down,” will allow you to pause for a moment and notice. This step is mentioned first so you will carry the thought with you throughout this article and beyond.

      Avoid multi-tasking. It has become popular, if not clichéd, to multi-task. Research indicates that there is a point where the quality of what you are doing declines when you try to focus on too many tasks at once.[1] Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean you have to.
      Find your threshold of diminishing return on the number of tasks you can work on. Your goal is to do things well so you can feel good about your accomplishments.

      Do nothing as if it were something. There is an art to doing nothing. Many people struggle with taking time to pause and regroup. Even if you take a five minute break to do nothing, do it.

    The Cynics
    The cynics are people who are driven to insult or attack someone’s confidence. They’re experienced to try to create a scene so that they’re in a position to get what they want. Cynical people will say […]

    • there are many cynics people in the working industry.
      They are have the common motive, to get rid of the weaker ones and dominate the workplace like a tyrant.

      Yes, your tips are right and helpful to those people who are facing pressure over the critics of these cynics.
      Actually, you could just pretend that they are dogs barking at the wrong tree

    • Talk about cynic and critical people, it’s nothing new yo me i have heard them in my life for the longest time. And I must say that are the hardest people to work around with just like you have said.And they can also be so annoying, you know like those kinds of people who always think that you can never be right about something? I really hate that attitude and they will always try and put you down or make you look so stupid when you say something. I learned that the best way to deal with them is ignoring what they say or what they try to portray and leave it as it is I never get into an argument. It will just get you mad

    • Yes, you say right how to deal with cynics and critics in practical life. Some people are by birth critics and cynics due to inborn habit they tease men and women by their cynical critical remarks everywhere at homes and out of homes.

      Time and time again, creative people are given two pieces of advice: (1) Listen to your critics and seek feedback, but also (2) Ignore your critics and follow your intuition. Clearly, there’s a powerful contradiction here in need of reconciliation.

      Criticism is doubt informed by curiosity and a deep knowledge of a discipline related to your work. Whether the criticism you receive is constructive or not, it comes from knowledge. Informed insights like “I’m not sure someone would ever pay that much” or “you may not want to outsource that given the high-touch required” may cause you to question your approach.

      By contrast, cynicism is a form of doubt resulting from ignorance and antiquated ways. Industry experts will often express doubt based on an ingrained muscle memory of past experiences that handicaps their vision for the future. Cynical statements like,

      “People will never read a book on a computer” or “Why would anyone want to put their rolodex online?” are famous doubts expressed by experts with handicapped vision.
