Similar to my last post, if you’ve had the perfect life, this post will not apply to you. But to the other 99% of the population who have experienced times when nothing about them seems perfect, you will know what I’m talking about.
Let’s face it. We’ve all had our depressing times. Times when nothing seems to be working. You fail a test. You get turned down by someone you like. Whatever. Nobody’s perfect. But the important thing is recovering from these little down-times.
There are several basic ways to get yourself to feel better.
No matter who you are, you have skills. You are different. That cliche that they taught us in elementary school and earlier is real: everyone is different. You might be weird or whatever. You might be a genius at some random subject like astronomy or something. But accept it. It’s a gift. It’s yours. Don’t change to be accepted. I almost did, and I realized that it was a mistake. Be grateful for what you have, and live with it.
Your self-esteem & confidence is what makes you, you. Don’t let anyone steal that =) !

But who can really get that? So even if that is our goal, how are we going to get there? In these inconvenient economic times, no one wants to take any chances with their future. Living costs money, and money requires a job. But with national unemployment up to 10%, this generation is on thin ice. It’s easy to decide you want to make the big bucks. But what kind of sacrifices are you willing to make to get there? Read More

I told my friend the other day that I was considering writing an article on “improving your voice”. His response was something like “WHAT?? What could be lamer than wanting to improve your voice? What possible benefit could a better voice even have in your life?” I’m not sure if it was sarcasm or not, but either way his pitiful attempt at criticism ensured me that I absolutely needed to write this article.
Actually, a better voice can benefit you in many ways. A strong, determined voice improves your speaking skills, which in turn can enhance the way you present yourself. A strong speaker takes command of the room in every debate, grabs attention from guests in every party, and for us males who play the game, attracts women from every venue. Read More
