Going the extra mile
Are you someone who consistently goes the extra mile and routinely over delivers on your promises?
It's rare these days, but it's the hallmark of high achievers who know that exceeding expectations helps you stand above the crowd. Almost by force of habit, successful people simply do more.
As a result, they experience not only greater financial rewards for their extra efforts but also a personal transformation, becoming more self-confident, more self-reliant, and more influential with those around them.
Latin USA - Could This Be A Course?
PBS has a four-part series "Latin USA" about the history of latin music. Could this be a focus on a new music/art course curriculum? Great program!

How We Survived A Double Layoff
This article came from The Women's Conference, a LinkedIn group:
In today's ever-changing work environment, it makes sense to have a back-up plan, a Plan B. If you don't have a back-up plan, now is a good time to start one.
People don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan.

The Meaning of Labor Day
Hope all had a wonderful holiday whether it was at home or out-of-town, solo or with family and friends, let's always remember the importance of this day, in light of the fact that we have many today who are out of work and are not laboring as they should . . . and are looking for better days ahead . . .

Bouncing Back from Tough Times with Self-Encouragement
Part 2 by Jim Rohn
This is the second installment in a 3-part series of articles.
Where the Miracle Begins
Sometimes, defeat is the best beginning. Why? Well for one thing, if you’re at the very bottom, there’s only one way to go—up. But more important, if you’re flat on your back, mentally and financially, you’ll usually become sufficiently disgusted to reach way deep down inside yourself and pull out miracles. Pull out talents and pull out abilities and pull out your desires and determination. When you’re flat broke or flat miserable, you’ll eventually become so disgusted that you’ll pull out the basic essentials required to make everything better.
It’s in the face of adversity that things begin to change, that you begin to change. With enough disgust, desire and determination to change your life, you’ll start saying, “I’ve had it. Enough of this. No more. Never again!”

Bouncing Back from Tough Times with Self-Encouragement
Part 1 by Jim Rohn
This is the first in a 3-part series of articles.
Here is a familiar scenario for all of us; you may even be going through something like this right now: You have an exciting goal in mind, you’ve done your homework, you think you’re amply prepared… but things just don’t work out. You’ve probably had times when you thought you were doing what you were supposed to do, but you were misinformed. You thought you had it all laid out, but it just didn’t work. You burned the midnight oil day after day after day, but it didn’t seem to help. You couldn’t seem to change the end result.
These are the times when you have to be your own best cheerleader. And there are two ways to keep yourself encouraged.

Daily Inspiration
Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.
