Dressing for the Occasion: Your 60 Second Visual Guide. 5 raisons de bien gérer son e-réputation personnelle. 1 - Gérez votre e-réputation, c’est gérer ce que l’on dit de vous sur internet Partant du constat que les éléments fondamentaux de notre identité numérique, prénom et nom, deviennent notre marque, il est nécessaire de les soigner avec la plus grande attention.

Every boy dreams of being a superhero, and knows that donning a cape or Spiderman costume is hardly just for Halloween. But as we get older, we realize we don’t possess the supernatural powers of Spidey (or Batman’s primo cache of gadgets). And we notice the absence of the kind of otherwordly arch nemeses that plague our comic book heroes in the real world. The idea of being a hero is gradually put aside as “kid’s stuff.” But while evildoers may not appear in the real world painted up as sadistic clowns or riding on the Goblin Glider, the world has never ceased its need for heroic men who are willing to come to the aid of those in danger and stand up for what is right.
While we now think of the Man of Steel battling super villains like Lex Luthor and Bizarro, when Superman was introduced in 1938, he was a champion of the little guy, fighting for social justice and morality and against corruption.

The Cabinet of Invisible Counselors. Have you ever had a discussion with someone who posed this question: “If you could invite any five people, living or dead, to dinner, who would they be?” It’s an interesting question to consider, but one that doesn’t have to remain strictly a hypothetical. Now, of course you can’t drag the bones of history’s greatest corpses to your table (“Oh dear, Teddy’s hand just fell off into his soup. Awkward.”). But you can enjoy a form of ongoing conversation with history’s most eminent men, and it can continue far past the dessert course. I believe that every man should create his own personal “Cabinet of Invisible Counselors”–a sort of imaginary team of mentors whom he can consult for advice and inspiration throughout his life. Napoleon Hill’s Invisible Counselors This third brain allowed each member of the group to tap into the “sixth sense,” which Hill described as “that portion of the subconscious mind which has been referred to as the Creative Imagination. 1. 2. 3.

Shut the book, turn on the tape: Let’s assume that you’re a busy business or legal professional. Just as you wouldn’t waste time at work on projects that don’t get you any closer to accomplishing your goals – and only mean more time at the office – why would you waste time learning Mandarin the “wrong” way when you could be learning it the “right” way, i.e. faster, better, more efficiently?
2. 3. 4. How and Why to Write Your Own Personal Manifesto. Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Zach Sumner. “I only read nautical novels and my own personal manifestos.” – Ron Swanson If I were to say the word “manifesto,” you might think of either Communists or serial killers. This is understandable; the word has taken a beating over the years. But what if I were to tell you that writing my own manifesto has absolutely changed me, for the better, as a man?
A Manifesto: Defined The word manifesto traces its roots to the Latin manifestum, which means clear or conspicuous. A manifesto functions as both a statement of principles and a bold, sometimes rebellious, call to action. While manifestos are traditionally public declarations, every man can also have a personal manifesto. A lot of people already have books or documents that are important to them and that sum up their beliefs. The Benefits of a Manifesto I read my manifesto every day, before I start my job. This may sound weird, but think about it. How to Write a Manifesto Pick the topics. What Is 'The Zone' Anyway? One thing that will definitely help you stay in the zone is to eliminate the Internet as a distraction. Once you've removed the temptation to check Facebook, Google+, or Reddit a thousand times an hour, it becomes tangibly easier to achieve it. Sometimes some people find it easier to achieve the Zone during a certain point of the day, such as the wee hours of the morning or the middle of the night.
Some people, like I have experienced myself on numerous occasions, require an overwhelming amount of distractions in order to achieve it. Some of my best work I've done by mentally isolating myself from the world around me while I was sitting in the break room at work, or in the middle of a moderately busy coffee shop or fast food restaurant. But then I'm the shy type and I tend to mentally isolate from busy environments anyway, so that's probably where that comes from. Sometimes it helps to remove comfort. Flagged. How Can I Turn Vague Goals Into Actionable To-Dos?
What Do I Need to Do Before I Move into a New Place? A Simple Strategy for Neutralizing Stress. I was sued by the Prime Minister of my country 2 years ago - a direct lawsuit against my reply -with a lot of sarcasm- to one of his statements, on my blog. The guy wanted me in jail. Seriously. Plus; the governments changed the laws a little bit too much for themselves and got judges and prosecutors under their control so there was so little chance that I, a university student with a simple personal blog would be justified agains the Prime Minister of the whole country!

The life of George Washington was characterized by a scrupulous regard for punctuality.
When he asked a man to bring by some horses he was interested in buying at five in the morning, and the man arrived fifteen minutes late, he was told by the stable groom that the general had been waiting there at five, but had now moved on to other business, and that he wouldn’t be able to examine the horses again until the following week. When he told Congress that he’d meet with them at noon, he could almost always be found striding into the chamber just as the clock was striking twelve. Washington’s promptness extended to his mealtimes as well. He ate dinner each day at exactly 4 o’clock, and when he invited members of Congress to dine with him, and they arrived late, they were often surprised to find the president halfway done with his meal or even pushing back from the table.
To his startled, tardy guest he would say, “We are punctual here. Why Is Being Punctual Important? Here’s why. How I Learned a Language in 90 Days. Stuck? Explore Solutions You Know Are Wrong Anyway. My Rules for Consistent Happiness. I work at a newspaper, I'm at home at 2 am or even later. I also have a second job. yeah, I guess its good advice, but not realistic. Are you really sure there isn't a decision point in there? I have a pretty full life too, but rarely can I imagine a situation where I didn't have a choice to disengage at 9:30p if I so chose. I am sure most people have the choice, but they would have to give up other things or let people down.
Some things are not by choice - if you have a child who is crying and cannot sleep at 2200, it would mess up your perfect schedule. Or even if you include fun things that you would absolutely miss, like seeing the fireworks at the ballpark on 4th of July because they occur after the game has concluded, usually around 2200-2300. Just think about people like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, Barack Obama and whoever else you can think of.

As we head into our last week of this “Heading Out on Your Own” series, I’d like to pause from our “harder,” more practical skills to talk about a character trait, that, like self-reliance, is both an important building block in your life’s foundation, and, unfortunately, too often in short supply amongst young men.
Being reliable. The word reliable has its origins in relier, Old French for “fasten” or “attach;” the reliable man was an immovable pillar of strength on which you could hang your hat, someone you could lean and depend on, a man you could trust.

Heading Out on Your Own — Day 24: How to Be a Savvy Consumer. We’ve talked before about how as men, we should strive to create more, and consume less. But less doesn’t mean nothing. Unless you’re Dick Proenneke, you’re going to spend most of your life as a consumer of goods and services like cars, clothes, healthcare, and even your education. Never in human history have there been so many choices as to what to spend your money on. And never have marketing tactics to get you to buy those things been so sophisticated.
Every time you swipe a store loyalty card, use your smart phone, log into Facebook, or surf the net, companies are mining this data, gathering information on your address, family size, education and income level, favorite books, movies, and hobbies, and history of purchasing behavior. Now, I don’t want to paint too sinister a face on it – companies are simply offering products and services that people want – but to the degree that marketers track you, they are essentially “predators” on the hunt.
