Set SMART goals to get exactly what you want
I recently came across this definition of a goal: A goal is a dream with a deadline. The opposite is also true – a goal without a deadline will remain a dream.
Weet wie jy is!
Daar’s ‘n bekende grappie van die man wat op die lughawe sy gewig wou rondgooi omdat hy nie voorkeur-behandeling ontvang het nie. Sy spesiale sitplek in die vliegtuig was reeds geneem en die grondwaardin wou nie vir hom agteroor buig nie. Hy vra haar toe of sy weet wie hy is. Haar reaksie was toe om oor die luidspreker hulp in te roep: “Hier is ‘n man by my wat nie weet wie hy is nie,” het sy laat afkondig. “As iemand kan help, meld asb. aan by Kulula toonbank Nommer 13.”
Life isn’t fair
I am a declared optimist. Negative people give me the jitters and I cannot get out of their company fast enough. But I am also a realist. I have made peace with the fact that life is not fair and I do not engage in endless conversations about potholes, corruption, or other irritations that affect all of us but are totally beyond my control.
You are the filing clerk
It is not easy to understand the intricate relationship between our thoughts and emotions. We know that thoughts trigger emotions and we know that emotional reactions often get us into hot water, but do we really know how to control these two vital ingredients of our daily lives?
Preparing for the bear
The brain is a very complex organ. It controls and coordinates everything from the movement of our fingers to our heart rate. It also plays a crucial role in how we control and process our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions.
Sien die geleentheid raak
‘n Makelaar wys vir ‘n groep mense ‘n klokgrafiek van hoe die ekonomie op- en afswaai. Hy verduidelik dat die ekonomie deur ‘n normale kurwe beweeg en dat ‘n depressie altyd gevolg word deur ‘n opwaartse herstelproses, tot by ‘n piek wat dan weer ‘n draaipunt word vir die afwaartse resessie-been van die grafiek wat eindig in ‘n volgende depressie.
Drie vrae
Ek sit onlangs in ‘n beplanningsessie tussen ‘n klomp slimmes wat ‘n ghoeroe gehuur het om hulle te motiveer vir die moeilike pad vorentoe. Ek maak my reg vir raad wat ek al gehoor het, en planne wat in elk geval nie gaan uitwerk nie.
Do you deplete your energy?
You had an ultra-busy week and are really looking forward to a relaxing weekend. If you had your way, you would stay in your pajamas with a good book to read, binging on yogurt and fruit. Saturday at 9 am, the doorbell goes. You pull on a tracksuit and pull a brush through your hair. It’s a friend of a friend that you have met once before. She has come for coffee and a chat.
Krap die verf af
Ek lees onlangs hoe ‘n dapper vrou besluit het om haar ou huis se deure te restoureer. Sy vertel van die harde werk om deur lae en lae se groen en beige en bruin emaljeverf te skuur totdat sy uitendelik op die pragtige douglas-dennehout (oregan pine) afgekom het.
Once you feel it, you can heal it!
When stress hits home – to whatever degree – you know the symptoms. Whether it manifests as an uneasy stomach-ache or a dull headache, when it rears its head, you know that something is out of balance.
