Mark Twain Gives Nine Tips for Living an Extraordinary Life by Henrik Edberg Is truth stranger than fiction? Perhaps. In this great article written by Henrik Edberg, we find that Mark Twain had expressed in his writings over the years an entire philosophy for living. “Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” “When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.” You may know Mark Twain for some of his very popular books like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Twain is known for his many – and often funny – quotes. 1. “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” If you don’t approve of yourself, of your behaviour and actions then you’ll probably walk around most of the day with a sort of uncomfortable feeling. This can, in a related way, be a big obstacle in personal growth. What you may be bumping into there are success barriers. Or if you make some headway in the direction you want to go you may start to sabotage for yourself.
El poder del pensamiento en positivo - 16.09.2007 - lanacion.com Atrévase: el artículo que usted comienza a leer sólo trae buenas noticias. En línea paralela con los escépticos, los trágicos, los eternos derrotados y aun los nihilistas -aunque sin malgastar energías en el enfrentamiento-, hay mucha gente en el mundo convencida de que todos podemos pensar en positivo y que esto nos conducirá, inevitablemente, a una mejor calidad de vida. "El optimismo es aprendido -asegura Andrés López Pell, psicólogo, director de la Fundación para la Salud y la Educación (Funsaled) y autor de investigaciones sobre el tema-. Por lo tanto, se mejora a través de distintos recursos, entre ellos, la psicoterapia. Se puede traer un bagaje genético que marque una tendencia o la influencia de aspectos de crianza, pero todo es modificable. El optimismo no es ingenuidad ni fantasía: es un conjunto de expectativas respecto del futuro que nos permite interpretar verazmente la realidad. Un golpe de timón Pensar, un arma poderosa ¿De qué se nutre un pensamiento? Temas olvidados

ENFP Profile Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving by Marina Margaret Heiss Profile: ENFP Revision: 4.0 Date of Revision: 28 Feb 2011 [The following comes partially from the archetype, but mostly from my own dealings with ENFPs.] ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of a cosmic whole. They want to both help and to be liked and admired by other people, on both an individual and a humanitarian level. This is rarely a problem for the ENFP, as they are outgoing and warm, and genuinely like people. ENFPs often have strong, if sometimes surprising, values and viewpoints. ENFPs can be the warmest, kindest, and most sympathetic of mates; affectionate, demonstrative, and spontaneous. For some ENFPs, relationships can be seriously tested by their short attention spans and emotional needs.

Life: 100 Ways To Screw It Up A couple of months ago I wrote a blog post about 100 Ways To Live A Better Life. The post got featured almost instantly on Delicious, Reddit and StumbleUpon.
