WHAT ONE PERSON CAN DO

He knew he must stop them. With a mere $800 in his pocket, Sam LaBudde drove across the Mexican
border, stood on the fishing docks of Ensenada, and waited for his opportunity. Toting a video camera
to get some "home movies" of his excursion, he posed as a naive American tourist and offered his
services as a deckhand or engineer to each captain who docked his boat in the harbor.
He was hired on the Maria Luisa as a temporary crew member, and as the Panamanian tuna boat
pulled away from the Mexican coast, La-Budde began to secretly film the activities of the crew. He
knew that if he were discovered his life would be in jeopardy.
Finally it happened: they were surrounded. A whole school of dolphins, known to many as "water
people," began jumping and chattering near the Maria Luisa. Their friendly nature had drawn them to
the boat; little did they know that they were also being drawn to their death. The fishermen trailed the
dolphins because they knew that yellowfin tuna usually swim below the playful creatures. With coldblooded
calculation, they lay their nets in the path of the dolphins, not noticing or even caring
what happened to them.
Over the course of five hours, LaBudde's video recorded the horror. One after another, dolphins
became entangled in the nets, unable to free themselves and come to the surface for the oxygen they
needed to stay alive.
At one point the captain bellowed, "How many in the net!?"* As LaBudde swung to capture the
slaughter on video, he heard a crew member yell, "About fifty!" The captain ordered the crew to haul
in their catch. Numerous dolphins lay strangled and lifeless on the slippery deck as the crew separated
them from the tuna and discarded their sleek, gray bodies. Eventually, the corpses of these
magnificent animals were tossed overboard as casually as sacks of garbage. LaBudde's footage gave
clear-cut evidence of what others had claimed for years: that hundreds of dolphins were regularly
being killed in a single day's fishing expedition. Estimates are that over six million dolphins have been
killed in the last ten years alone. Edited down to an eleven-minute format, LaBudde's video stunned
viewers with the heart-wrenching reality of what we were doing to these intelligent and affectionate
beings with whom we share our planet. One by one, outraged consumers across the nation stopped
buying tuna, launching a boycott that only gained speed as media attention became more pointed.
Just four years after LaBudde first captured the tragedy on film, in 1991 the world's largest tuna
canner, Starkist, announced that it would no longer pack tuna caught in purse seine nets. Chicken of
the Sea and Bumblebee Seafoods followed suit, issuing similar statements just hours later. While the fight is not over—unregulated foreign tuna boats still kill six times as many dolphins as did the U.S.
boats—LaBudde's day on the Maria Luisa has served as a catalyst for major reform in the American
tuna industry, saving countless dolphin lives and undoubtedly helping to restore some balance to the
marine ecosystem.

HOW YOUR IDENTITY IS FORMED

start small, and build. The Chinese understood that the way we identify
anyone is by their actions. For example, how do you know who your friend really is? Isn't it by the way
he or she acts, the way he or she treats people?
The Communists' real secret, though, was that they understood that we determine who we are—our
own identities—by judging our own actions as well. In other words, we look at what we do to
determine who we are. The Chinese realized that in order to achieve their broader objective of
changing the prisoner's beliefs about his identity, all they had to do was get the prisoner to do things
that a collaborator or a Communist would do.
Again, this is not a simple task, but they realized it could be done if they simply could wear the
American POW down through conversation that lasted twelve to twenty hours, and then make a minor
request: get him to say something like "The United States is not perfect" or "It's true in a Communist
country that unemployment is not a problem." Having established this footing, the Chinese would
simply start small and build.
They understood our need for consistency. Once we make a statement that we say we believe, we
have to be willing to back it up. They would merely ask the POW to write down some of the ways in
which America is not perfect. In his exhausted state, the GI was then asked, "What other social
benefits are there to communism?" Within a short period of time, the GI would have sitting in front of
him a document not only attacking his own nation, but also promoting Communism with all the
reasons written in his own handwriting. He now had to justify to himself why he'd done this. He'd not
been beaten, nor had he been offered special rewards. He'd simply made small statements in his need
to stay consistent with the ones he'd already written, and now he'd even signed the document. 

EXPAND YOUR REFERENCES AND EXPAND YOUR LIFE

We can always use whatever life has to offer in an empowering way, but we have to do it proactively.
The choices I have in my life come from a rich set of reference experiences that I have consciously
pursued on an ongoing basis. Each day I look for ways to expand. Into my thirty-one years I've packed
literally hundreds of years of experience. How can I say that? The number of challenging and enriching
experiences that I have in a month relates more closely to what most people experience over a
period of years.
One of the major ways I began to do this, starting at the age of seventeen, was through the rich
experiences that books provide. Early in my life, I developed the belief that leaders are readers. Books
could take me to other lands where I could meet unique people like Abraham Lincoln or Ralph Waldo
Emerson whom I could utilize as my personal coaches. I also knew that within the pages of books I
could find the answers to virtually any question I had. This breadth of references that hundreds of
books have given me has provided countless choices for how I can assist people. I pursued these
references because I realized that if I didn't feed my mind with the nourishment it craved, then I would
have to settle for the intellectual junk food that could be found in the nightly "sound bites" on
television news or through the opinions of the newspapers. If this is our major source of information,
then we can expect to get the same results as everyone else in society does.
The most powerful way to have a great understanding of life and people, to give ourselves the greatest
level of choice, is to expose ourselves to as many different types of references as possible. In my
youth, I was inspired to seek spiritual understanding when I realized that I'd attended only one church
and been exposed to only one religious philosophy for the majority of my life. In high school I received
a scholarship in journalism to attend a two-week program held at California Polytechnic State
University in San Luis Obispo. On that Sunday we were all given an assignment to write a story about
a church service.
As we began to walk through the community, deciding where we would go, I found myself gravitating
toward the church of my denomination171. But along the way, I heard several of my friends talking
about the Mormon Church we had just passed and how "horrible" those people were. It seemed to me
that people just aren't that deplorable172; I had to see what was going on. So I attended the service,
and saw that the Mormons loved God as much as I did. 

A UNIVERSE OF IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES

In expanding our references, we create a great contrast with which to evaluate life and possibility. If
you've been magnifying your problems out of proportion, consider this: we live in a galaxy that
contains several hundred thousand million stars. Then realize that we live in a universe that has
several hundred thousand million galaxies. In other words, there are several hundred thousand million
suns in our galaxy alone. And all of these suns have planets revolving around them as well!
Think of the magnitude. The stars in our galaxy make one turn around the Milky Way's axis only once
every several hundred million years. When you think about the immensity of this universe, and then
look at the life span of an average human being (generously about eighty years), does it give you a
different perspective? The human life span is but a speck170 in time. And yet people worry themselves
to death about things like how they're going to pay the mortgage, what kind of car they drive,
or how their next business meeting will go.
"I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

ALBERT EINSTEIN
One of the finest beliefs I developed years ago that helped me to enjoy all of my life experience was
the idea that there are no bad experiences, that no matter what I go through in life—whether it's a
challenging experience or a pleasurable one—every experience provides me something of value if I
look for it. If I pull just one idea or one distinction from an experience, then it expands me.
Back when I was still in high school and scraping together money any way I could in order to attend
personal development seminars, my friends were amazed that I'd go back to some of the same
seminars again and again. Often they'd ask me, "Why would you go back to the same program?"
Inevitably I'd tell them that I understood the power of repetition, and each time I heard something
new because I was different. Plus I knew that hearing something again and again would eventually
condition me to use it, that repetition truly is the mother of skill. Every time I reviewed a program, I
made additional distinctions or heard ideas that impacted me differently and enabled me to create new
references, and thus new interpretations, new actions, and new results in my life.

RULES REALIGNMENT

1. What does it take for you to feel successful?
2. What does it take for you to feel loved—by your kids, by your spouse, by your parents, and by
whoever else is important to you?
3. What does it take for you to feel confident?
4. What does it take for you to feel you are excellent in any area of your life?
Now look at these rules and ask yourself, "Are they appropriate? Have I made it really hard to feel
good and easy to feel bad?" Do you have 129 things that must happen before you feel loved? Does it
take only one or two things to make you feel rejected?
If that's true, change your criteria and come up with rules that empower you. What do your rules need
to be in order for you to be happy and successful in this endeavor?

PARADOXICAL PROVERBS

Look before you leap.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
He who hesitates is lost.

A SAMPLING OF MY MOVING-TOWARD VALUES AND RULES

Health and Vitality: Anytime I feel centered, powerful, or balanced; anytime I do anything that
increases my strength, flexibility, or endurance; anytime I do anything that moves me toward a sense
of physical well-being; anytime I eat water-rich foods or live in accordance with my own health
philosophy.
Love and Warmth: Anytime I'm being warm and supportive of my friends, family, or strangers;
anytime I focus on how to help; anytime I'm loving toward myself; anytime my state of being
enhances how other people feel.
Learning and Growing: Anytime I make a new distinction that's useful; anytime I stretch myself
beyond what was comfortable; anytime I think of a new possibility; anytime I expand or become more
effective; anytime I apply anything I know in a positive way.
Achieving: Anytime I focus on the value of my life as already created; anytime I set an outcome and
make it happen; anytime I learn anything or create value for myself or others.

"THE SOLUTION"

The solution is very simple. All we have to do to make our lives work is set up a system of evaluating
that includes rules that are achievable, that make it easy to feel good and hard to feel bad, that
constantly pull us in the direction we want to go. Certainly it's useful to have some rules that give us
pain. We need to have limits; we need to have some kind of pressure that drives us. I can't taste fresh
orange juice unless I have a glass, something with limits to contain the juice. We all have limits, both
as a society and as individuals. For starters, though, we should at least rewire ourselves so we can
experience pleasure more consistently in life. When people are feeling good all the time, they tend to
treat others better, and they tend to maximize their potential as human beings.
So what's our goal? Once we design our values, we must decide what evidence we need to have before
we give ourselves pleasure. We need to design rules that will move us in the direction of our values,
that will clearly be achievable, using criteria we can control personally so that we're ringing the bell
instead of waiting for the outside world to do it.
Based on these requirements, Laurie changed the order of some of her values and completely changed
her rules for achieving them.

IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY, HERE'S WHY!

As I write these words, I'm looking out over the deep blue Pacific from my room at the Hyatt Regency
Waikoloa resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. I've just observed something that won't happen in North
America again until the year 2017: a total eclipse of the sun. Becky and I got up this morning at 5:30
a.m. so that we, along with thousands of other visitors, could witness this rare astronomical event.
As crowds of people gathered at the viewing site, I began to entertain myself by watching the diversity
of people who had come to share this occasion: everyone from top businessmen to vacationing
families, from scientists lugging dozens of telescopes to hikers who'd pitched their tents in the lava pits
overnight, and little children who knew this was an exciting event only because their parents had told
them so. Here were hordes of people who had flown in from all over the world, at a cost of thousands
of dollars, just for the chance to see something that would take about four minutes! What were we
doing here? We wanted to stand in a shadow! We're an interesting species, aren't we?
By 6:28 a.m., the drama had begun to unfold. There was anxiety in the air, not just the anticipation of
seeing the eclipse, but the fear of disappointment. For on this unique morning, the clouds had begun
to gather, and the sky was becoming overcast. It was interesting to see how people were dealing with
the possibility that their expectations would not be met. What they had come to see was not merely a
brief flitting139 of the moon over the sun, but a four-minute total eclipse—when the shadow of
the moon would completely block the sun's rays and envelop us in darkness. They even had a name
for it: totality!
By 7:10 a.m., the clouds had increased and were getting larger by the minute. Suddenly, the sun
broke through a hole in the clouds, and for a moment we could all see a partial eclipse. The crowd
greeted it with excited applause, but soon the clouds rolled back in, thicker and thicker, completely
obscuring our view. Nearing the moment of totality—utter darkness—it became obvious that we
wouldn't be able to watch the moon overtake the sun.
Suddenly, thousands of people began to run over to a big-screen television set that one of the many
TV crews had erected. There we sat, watching the eclipse on national television, just like everyone else
in the world! In those moments I had a chance to observe an unlimited range of human emotion. Each
person responded according to their rules: their beliefs about what had to happen in order for them to
feel good about this experience.

"Black out"



This story is about a black out. Suddenly power has been vanished from world. No light, no power in batteries. People start living without power, light. Only few people knows that black out is going to be happened, one of them was banjman.
Charlie was the daughter of banjman. After 15 years black out, some police officers find banjman and try to arrest him. But because of deny, banjman got shot, and police take deny with them self. Banjman told Charlie to go to Chicago and find his brother miles, because miles can help you to find deny. Charlie decided to go to Chicago and find miles.
On the way to Chicago Charlie meet with net, and she takes net with himself to Chicago. Net was the enemy of miles but Charlie don’t know this think. When they meet with miles, he knows that net is his enemy, he fought with net and net run back and take other people to kill miles.
 Miles was brave and fought back and he was saved. Then Charlie comes to know that she has done a big mistake to take net with himself.   

"The New Great Game"


The Great Game was an intense rivalry between the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia, beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing through 1907. Britain sought influence or control in much of Central Asia, to buffer the "crown jewel" of its empire. The classic Great Game period is generally regarded as running approximately from the Russo-Persian Treaty of 1813 to the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907. In the post-WW2 post-colonial period, it would evolve into the Cold War era, termed "Great Game II" by some scholars.
The British perspective, the Russian Empire's expansion into Central Asia threatened to destroy the "jewel in the crown" of the British Empire, India. The British feared that Afghanistan would become a staging post for a Russian invasion of India. It was with these thoughts in mind that in 1838 the British launched the First Anglo-Afghan War and attempted to impose a puppet regime on Afghanistan under Shuja Shah.
Pakistan remains a pawn, moved around for the strategic and ideological purpose of the great power. Weather in proxy wars against Russia or against 9/11 jihadis or whoever may be the next. At best it can only rent out its military or territory, for other battles. The New Great Game is of modern geopolitics in Central Eurasia as a competition between the United States, the United Kingdom and other NATO countries against Russia. In this great game Russia, Pakistan, America plays a great role.
This game is on Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, because they have natural resources (Oil, gas) more than any other country in the world, so many countries want to take advantage for them.   America is creating his relations strong with these countries for resources but Russia is against it. Same is the case with Russia; they are building new relations with Pakistan to avoid entry of America in these states. America wants to create a pipe line which consists of natural resources, which passes from Afghanistan, Pakistan, to India, and from Pakistan to Iran and last to Turkey.
America have start building relations with India and that can be dangerous for Pakistan, because Pakistan have to build a new relations with neighbor country India for the benefits of both countries. Now the problem is for Pakistan, if they want to be the part of the game they have to build relations with India and build strong relations with America.
Pakistan could become such a model if its fledgling democratic system succeeds. Pakistan, at this time, is deeply involved in containing the rise of Islamic extremism. One way to deal with it is to combine the use of force with accommodation. Those not prepared to work within the established legal framework must be dealt with firmly while those inclined to use the norms of democracy to advance their agendas must be given accommodation. Pakistan’s difficult political evolution is being watched by many in the Middle East. If it succeeds, it will be seen as an example to be replicated.
 However, the United States by withdrawing its support at such a critical time and forcing the new Great Game on South Asia, will unleash another dynamic that could seriously set back the Pakistani experiment.

"MASTER YOUR TIME AND YOUR LIFE"

If you've ever felt stress -and who hasn't?-chances are excellent that it's because you felt you just didn't have enough time to do what you wanted to at the level of quality to which you were committed. You could be feeling this frustration, for example, because you're focusing exclusively on the demands of the moment: present requests, present challenges, present events. In this stressed and overloaded state, your effectiveness is rapidly diminished. The solution is simple: Take control of the time frame you're focusing upon.
It the present is stressful, then become more resourceful in dealing with your challenges by focusing on the future and the successful completion or resolution of the tasks before you.
This new focus will instantly change your state and give you the very resources you need to turn things around in the present. Stress is so often the result of feeling "stuck" in a particular time frame. One example of this is when a person keeps thinking of their future in disempowering ways. You can help this person or yourself by getting them to refocus on what they can control in the present. Or some people, when they're called upon to take on a challenge, begin to focus exclusively on their past poor performance.
As they remain in the past, their stress increases. A shift to the present, or an anticipation of a positive future,could instantly change their emotional state. Our emotions, then, are powerfully impacted by the time frame in which we're operating at the moment.

"READING IS FEEDING YOUR MIND"

The power of reading a great book is that you start thinking like the author. For those magical moments while you are immersed in the forests of Arden, you are William Shakespeare; while you are shipwrecked on Treasure Island, you are Robert Louis Stevenson; while you are communing with nature at Walden, you are Henry David Thoreau. You start to think like they think, feel like they feel, and use imagination as they would. Their references become your own, and you carry these with you long after you've turned the last page. That is the power of literature, of a good play, of music; that is why we constantly want to expand our references.
How can you fill that chest? Explore the wealth of literature, stories, myths, poetry, and music. Read books, view movies and videotapes, listen to audiotapes, go to seminars, talk with people, and get new ideas. All references have power, and you never know which one could change your entire life.

"JUDGE AND JURY"

We all have different rules and standards that govern not only the way we feel about the things that happen in our lives, but how we'll behave and respond to a given situation. Ultimately what we do and who we become is dependent upon the direction that our values have taken us.
But equally, or possibly even more importantly, what will determine our emotions and behaviors is our beliefs about what is good and what is bad, what we should do and what we must do. These precise standards and criteria are what I've labeled rules.
Rules are the trigger for any pain or pleasure you feel in your nervous system at any moment. It's as if we have a miniature court system set up within our brains. Our personal rules are the ultimate judge and jury. They determine whether or not a certain value is met, whether we'll feel good or bad, whether we'll give ourselves pain or pleasure.

"LEADERS ARE READERS"

My teacher taught me that reading something of substance, something of value, something that was nurturing, something that taught you new distinctions every day, was more important than eating. He got me hooked on the idea of reading a minimum of thirty minutes a day. He said, "Miss a meal, but don't miss your reading."
I've found this to be one of the most valuable distinctions in my life. So while you're cleansing your system of the old, you might want to be empowering it by continuing to read the new. And there are plenty of pages of valuable insight and strategy ahead of you that you can be utilizing during these ten days.
If you've learned anything from here, it's the power of decisions. You're at a critical point in our journey together. It's an opportunity and an invitation to demand more from yourself than other people would ever expect, and to reap the rewards that come from this commitment. It's a time to put in practice what you've learned. But it's also a time to decide whether you're willing to make the commitment to make some simple yet powerful improvements in your life.

Stress-Management facts

Stress may be considered as any physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental unrest and that may be a factor in causing disease. While many people associate the term stress with psychological stress, scientists and physicians use this term to denote any force that impairs the stability and balance of bodily functions.Stress is any physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental unrest.
  • While elimination of stress is unrealistic, management of stress is an attainable and realistic goal that can be achieved by a number of strategies.
  • People with strong social support networks report less stress and fewer negative symptoms of stress than those who lack social support.
  • Stress-management techniques include relaxation techniques, time-management skills, counseling or group therapy, exercise, and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle.
  • There are hundreds of different relaxation techniques to help manage stress, including yoga, guided imagery and many other progressive muscle relaxation.

women's right to chose

The issue of abortion is one of the most contentious, and emotive dilemmas faced by modern societies. The question is whether one should allow the termination of a pregnancy. For some, the question is even more fundamental: at what stage is the embryo or fetus in the uterus to be regarded as a child? At fertilization? At birth? Or, maybe somewhere between. The battle-lines are drawn between strict, religious ('pro-life') arguments (that it is never permissible), and those ('pro-choice') that emphasize the woman's right to choose as the primary concern. While abortion has been legal in America since the land-mark Roe vs. Wade case in the early 1970s, this is by no means a reflection of universal agreemen

US drone kills 5 in NWA

five suspected militants were killed in a US drone attack on a house in Hurmaz village, near Mirali town of North Waziristan. Tribesmen said that militants from the Hizbe Islami Turkistan group belonging to the Chinese Uygur community had set up a compound in the Hurmaz village. The compound was hit by four missiles and was razed to the ground.
Five of its occupants were killed. After being struck by missiles, the damaged house caught fire, while drones kept hovering over the area for some time. Later, other militants rushed to the site and recovered the dead bodies from the debris. The killed men were later buried in a nearby graveyard. According to reports, the top commander of Hizbe Islami Turkistan, Abu Waleed Al Turikistani, is included among the killed persons.

"Drone attacks in Pakistan"

The United States government has made hundreds of attacks on targets in northwest Pakistan since 2004 using drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) controlled by the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Division. These attacks are part of the United States' War on Terrorism campaign, seeking to defeat Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan. Most of these attacks are on targets in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border in Northwest Pakistan. These strikes have increased substantially under the Presidency of Barack Obama. Some media refer to the series of attacks as a "drone war". The covert CIA-run program is a cause of tension between the U.S. and Pakistan.
Pakistan's government publicly condemns these attacks, but has secretly shared intelligence with the United Statet and also allegedly allowed the drones to operate from Shamsi Airfield in Pakistan until 21 April 2011, when 150 Americans left the base. According to secret diplomatic cables leaked by Wikileaks, Pakistan's Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani not only tacitly agreed to the drone flights, but in 2008 requested Americans to increase them. However, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik said, "drone missiles cause collateral damage. A few militants are killed, but the majority of victims are innocent citizens."The strikes are often linked to anti-American sentiment in Pakistan and the growing questionability of the scope and extent of CIA activities in Pakistan.

"THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP"

For years I had set goals and not followed through. I'd get inspired in the moment, get all pumped up, but three weeks later I noticed I wasn't following through on anything I'd written down. Writing a goal is certainly the first step, and most people don't even do that; just the action of committing your ideas to paper begins to make them more real. But the most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum.
The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a
very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment. Way to continue this momentum is to take immediate action as soon as you can. Even the smallest step—a phone call, a commitment, sketching out an initial plan—will move you forward. Then develop a list of simple things you can do every day for the next ten days.

"HARNESS THE POWER OF DECISION"

1. Remember the true power of making decisions: It's a tool you can use in any moment to
change your entire life. The minute you make a new decision, you set in motion a new cause, effect,
direction, and destination for your life. You literally begin to change your life the moment you make a
new decision.
2. Realize that the hardest step in achieving anything is making a true commitment—a true
decision :
Carrying out your commitment is often much easier than the decision itself, so make your
decisions intelligently, but make them quickly. Studies have shown that the most successful people make decisions rapidly because they are clear on their values and what they really want for their lives.
3. Make decisions often: The more decisions you make, the better you're going to become at
making them. Muscles get stronger with use, and so it is with your decision-making muscles.
4. Learn from your decisions; There's no way around it. At times, you're going to screw up, no
matter what you do. And when the inevitable happens, instead of beating yourself into the ground,
learn something.

"HOW TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE"

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent. We've all experienced
change for a moment, only to feel let down and disappointed in the end. In fact, many people attempt
change with a sense of fear and dread because unconsciously they believe the changes will only be
temporary. A prime example of this is someone who needs to begin dieting, but finds himself putting it
off, primarily because he unconsciously knows that whatever pain he endures in order to create
the change will bring him only a short-term reward.
I'd like to share with you three elementary principles of change that you and I can use immediately to change our lives.
Step one : Raise Your Standards
Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your
standards.
Step two : Change Your Limiting Beliefs
If you raise your standards but don't really believe you can meet them, you've already sabotaged
yourself.
Step three : Change Your Strategy.

"WAQAR YOUNIS"

Waqar Younis Maitla : (Born 16 November 1971) Waqar began his cricket career in in 1987/88 Pakistan, playing for several First-class cricket clubs. He was eventually discovered by former Pakistan captain, Imran Khan and was selected to be part of the national side.

"Raise your standards"

"Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming."Think of the far-reaching consequences set in motion by men and women who raised their standards and acted in accordance with them, deciding they would tolerate no less.
This leads to the following list of day to day standards that really do matter….
· I will get 8hrs of sleep every night
· I will eat real foods away from training and only use sports nutrition for the long stuff
· I will get 2 strength sessions completed each week
· I will do yoga 3x per week
· I will do 1-3hrs of aerobic training each day
· I will do one big day each week.

While standards should be set based upon a 100% compliance intent, it is important for the sake of your own integrity that acceptable exceptions be ‘put on the table’ from the outset. Often these exceptions can be headed off at the pass before they become an issue. Either way, the important people in your life (your partner, your boss, your kids, your coach ;-) need to know what they can expect from you and more importantly, you need to know what you can expect from yourself.

"BUILDING SELF-CONFIDENCE"

No matter what your self confidence level is right now, you can probably improve it. But you need to believe in yourself and your capabilities before any one else will. Bandura's theory of self efficacy is a great place to start looking for ways to improve the way you see your abilities. According to the theory, there are four sources of self efficacy:
1: Mastery experiences--things you have succeeded at in the past.
2: Vicarious experiences--seeing people who are similar to you succeed.
3: Social persuasion--hearing from others that you're capable
4: Emotional status--staying positive, and managing stress.
Three of these sources (the first, second, and fourth) are within your control, so we'll look at them more closely. however, while we can't force people to say good things about us (the third source), we can increase the likelihood of receiving positive feedback by being more confident in general.
