When they are challenged or we perceive them to be in danger, our emotions will step to their defence and this can sometimes make us become seemingly irrational, particularly in the eyes of others, who may not appreciate or even understand our value system. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:00:00 +0300 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/86/1/Ten-Rules-for-a-Successful-Life-.html Why are some people more successful than others? Is it just that some people get all the luck and that’s just the way it is? Or is there more to it? Gary Player the famous golfer once said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get” and I think this statement has a lot of truth to it. I believe that success is a mindset and if I’m right, then that means that anyone can achieve it. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Wed, 04 Jul 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/85/1/Think-Your-Way-to-Success.html You may not even realise it when you use negatives words and phrases.

Most of these people know exactly where they are going and when they will get there, so why do they do it? I suspect the answer has a lot to do with the need to track advancement and ensure that they are indeed reaching their destination, which is a bit strange considering they are on a rail and the likelihood of them not getting there is pretty much zero. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/79/1/Understanding-Peoples-Behaviour---Banging-your-head-against-a-wall-.html I just came home to find my 13 month old son giggling loudly to himself whilst banging his head against the living room wall. My immediate response was to say, "Son, you're an idiot." and only once I'd managed to distract him from this pain inducing activity did I consider the possible consequences of my words. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/77/1/Dont-Lose-Your-Marbles---Make-a-Positive-Difference-to-Your-Life.html Maybe that's what makes losing so hard to take, knowing that you didn't really have the skill to win in the first place and you are just kidding yourself to even try....... nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/74/1/The-Keys-to-Self-Acceptance.html Psychologists today generally agree that your level of self-esteem, or how much you like yourself and consider yourself to be a valuable and worthwhile person, lies at the core of your personality. nospam@nospam.com (Brian Tracy) Tue, 10 Apr 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/66/1/Where-Are-You-Heading-In-2007---Do-You-Really-Know.html It is that time of year when we should be focusing on what we want to achieve next year. Having said that, most people and I would estimate 80%, because Pareto’s principle is always pretty accurate, will not set objectives and in failing to plan will in effect, be planning to fail. nospam@nospam.com (Jonathan Farrington) Wed, 13 Dec 2006 11:00:00 +0300 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/40/1/The-Magic-of-Positive-Thinking.html Yes, there is magic in positive thinking! In aviation, the word attitude means the angle at which the plane meets the wind, whether the wings are level with the horizon, and whether it is climbing or descending. nospam@nospam.com (John Boe) Thu, 27 Jul 2006 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/39/1/Are-YOUR-Values-Blocking-Your-Success.html With a change in my circumstances and recent problems in my life, I have been trying to define success and what it really means to each of us and I think I have worked out its foundations. nospam@nospam.com (Elaine Sihera) Tue, 21 Mar 2006 11:00:00 +0300
