Actually, there is nothing bad in aiming at all of these and even more, but the question is, are we really competing with the right person? One reality is, we will always find someone we are quite much better than. Likewise, someone will always exist that do better than us. Success is never measured by how better you perform than others.

The only person you should be in competition with is YOU. when you compete with yourself, your aim is to be better than you were before, which is quite muc...

A woman is the glory of her man, while her hair is the crown of her glory. Every woman looks more beautiful when her hair is made and gorgeously arranged. When a hair looks great it adds confidence to the carrier, and attracts more attention from the male folks. While picking out a hairstyle, there are three questions you should ask yourself: Will this hairstyle suit my face? Can I afford it? Will my man love it on me? All of these questions are important but the most important is the last. After making the most expensive hair that suits the face, the last thing any woman would want is for her man not to like or even notice the hair. If it doesn’t appeal to him, then all the hair parade is as good as a waste of time, effort and resources. Men generally love decent hairstyles, simple, classy, and not so far from the natural. If you want your boyfriend, fiance or spouse to fall over heels again with you, then consider rocking any of these ten hairst...

That awful moment when things are not just working well. And it just seems like things are falling apart. You look at yourself and just feel horrible. Then the question sneaks in: What Is Wrong With Me? Why is passing exams so hard? Why is staying focused so hard? What exactly is making being successful difficult? Why can't things be more easier? But, if things are even more easier, would you have been better? Anytime we fail, we really see ourselves as failures, we limit ourselves, and sometimes even stop ourselves from doing some things. But, if you don't get to know how things are not supposed to be done, how will you know how things are to be done? There lies the answer to the question, What is wrong with me? Nothing is really wrong with you, all you need to do is just to develop yourself, and make your living a worthwhile. Things can really get better!

Unleashing your true Potential Unleashing your true potential can be done by knowing the exact limits of your potential. Most of the people who don’t reach their true potential fail to do it because they underestimate their abilities and this usually results in accepting mediocre results. If I brought you a box and told you that it weights one million pounds you may never try to lift it.What If it was really light? If you believed me without trying to carry the box the result will be setting a new limit for your potential and an additional “I can’t do it” will be added to your list of impossible tasks. If the example of the box seemed not to be related to your life then you didn’t get it yet. Life is full of such boxes everywhere around you and it’s also full of people who will convince you that you can never carry them. The more you believe them the more you will be limiting your true potential. How Do People Limit their own Potential When Sam was 15 everyone tol...
