-Albert Einstein


The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.
-C. V. White

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

Some dreams

Daydreaming is often a disregarded and neglected aspect of dream study because they are often overlooked as fleeting and wandering thoughts. There is a lack of emphasis on the content of your daydreams. However, the meanings to your nightly dream symbols are also applicable to your daydreams.  The content in your daydreams are also helpful to the understanding of your true feelings and in fulfilling your goals.
Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach you something about yourself. However, soon after you wake up to go about your daily routine, you tend to quickly forget what you dream about. The message in recurring dreams may be so important and/or powerful that it refuses to go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. It is desperately trying to tell you something.  Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them

Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation, transitional phase in life or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month. Whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. Such dreams may be highlighting a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present



Healing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. The Ancient Greeks called these dreams "prodromic". Many dream experts believe that dreams can help in avoiding potential health problems and healing when you are ill or when you are grieving. Research shows that asthma and migraine sufferers have certain types of dreams before an attack. Your bodies are able to communicate to your mind through dreams. The dreams can "tell" you that something is not quite right with your bodies even before any physical symptoms show up. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he or she needs to go to the dentist or doctor. If you can understand the language of dreams, your dreams will serve as an invaluable early warning system. They can help inform, advise and heal.



Prophetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive or psychic dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretell the future.  One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that your dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that you may normally overlook or that you do not seriously consider

Positive daydreaming is healthy. It serves as a temporary escape from the demands of reality. It is also a good way to release pent up frustrations without physically acting them out. All to often you worry about your job, your family, finances, a relationship, etc. It is a way to leave the world behind and ponder about what could've been or should've been. It relieves stress, improves attitude, fosters creativity and refresh the mind, body, and spirit.
 

  

Qualites that make a persona successful

1.desire
the motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. napoleon hill wrote,"whatever the mind to man can conceive and belive, the mind can achieve" . a young man  asked socrates the secret to success. socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. they met. socrates asked the yound mand to walk with him toward the river. when the water got up to their necks, socrates took the young man by surprise and dunked him under the water. the boy struggled to get out but socrates  was strong and held him down. when the boy started turning blue, socrates raised the boy's head out of the water. the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. socrates asked,"what did you wqant the most when you were under water?" the boy replied, you want success as intensely as you wanted air underwanter, then youb will have it . "there is no other secret.

a burning desire is the staritnt point of all accomplishment. just like a small fire cannot give much heat , a weak desire cannot produce great results.



2. commitment : try not to become a success, but rather try to become a many of value.
3.responsibility: a duty which becomes a desire will ultimately become a delight 
4.hard work: luck?  i don't know anything about luck. i've never banked on it , and i'm afraid of people who do. luck to me is something else; hard work--- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
5.character: charater is the sum total of a person's values, beliefs and personality. it is reflected in our behavior and in your actions. it is not the polls or public opinion but the charater of the leader that determines the course of history. there in no twilight zone in integrity.. the road to success has many pitfalls.
5.positive believing : having a positive attitude and being motivated is a choice we make every day. living a positive life is not easy, but then neither is negative living. given a choice, i would rather go for a positive living . positive thinking helps you use your abilities to the fullest.

Communication skill to success

Effective communication is essential in the business world. Presentations, meetings and negotiations are key. A good leader must be a good and clear communicator. Often times those who communicate well rise to the top, while those who are more uncertain remain behind. There are many methods available today to improve communication for those to whom it does not come naturally. Hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) work to improve communication skills by tapping into the unconscious and ‘reprogramming’ the mind to focus on positive thoughts.
An ineffective communicator is one who over thinks language, presentation and message. By focusing strongly on what is coming next, the ineffective communicator often stumbles on what he/she is saying in the present. This leads to misunderstandings and an unsuccessful presentation or pitch. Nervousness, stress and uncertainty are not traits that a leader typically portrays and thus, the ineffective communicator is out of the running. By being so focused on themselves, the ineffective communicator shuts out the audience and is often unaware of their reactions.
One of the biggest reasons for it’s success is that the therapy does not involve consulting experts, buying supplements, doing rigorous physical workouts or even going on a low-carbohydrate diet, etc. Hypnotherapy for weight loss can be done by the weight watcher - at the most he or she can seek help from a professional hypnotist, though many can learn and practice hypnotherapy at home through various self-help tools available.
There is the “Visual”(V) representation where the person creates and sees pictures. This can be represented by the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
Understanding communication and how to do so effectively are highly regarded skills in most industries. Through NLP and hypnosis one can build an awareness of one’s own communication skills and abilities while gaining an understanding of others. Often a leadership programme using NLP and hypnosis can be highly effective when combined with communication courses on presentations and negotiation skills. Thus, both skill sets can be incorporated.
