She thinks I'm saying kids don't need to learn to construct paragraphs, or book reports. He may not be able to do this himself very easily so a good support network is very important. So I'd say the mission was accomplished! I try to clarify that I mean good penmanship is useless. Posted by Mark W.

I want to be more diligent about finding a mentor to help me grow, outside of my supervisor. We meet many in our lives that can become our coaches or mentors, for longer or shorter periods of time. Finding a good mentor/coach/teacher is tough, but starting a blog exposes you to a huge measure of immediate coaching.

I think too often we are so worried about accomplishing as many tasks as we can that we don't focus enough on the task that is right in front of us. I think we all construct these coping mechanisms. Some construct very durable means of coping, that see them into old age.

It is a ridiculous construct that is out of date. I'd like to add one idea from a mentor of mine, who led big organizations in both sectors. link] I have some friends who works in a architecture consulting company which reviews if newly constructed buildings meet the "green" standard. Salesforce.com rocks!

You might be sick of hearing about my company here, but, you might also be happy to know that I’ve accomplished that goal, too. Find a business analogy that takes the feeling of failure out of it if that's a problem (here's one: a therapist is like a mentor for your marriage). Regain my sanity.

I think you need to write a post about things you've done right, things you want, and how you are going to move on and accomplish them. Exaggeration: repeated tales of humanitarian accomplishments grow in the retelling. He knows he has a problem, but has a constructive way of dealing with it.

I wish I could find something critical to say since it might carry more weight (you mentioned recently how you pay attention to criticism, when well-constructed and thoughtfully delivered, maybe even moreso than positive comments) but I can't. Maybe it's because I can relate to family drama. I love every word.

These kids need to turn off the Social Networks and read a book because school won't help them. Now, all miscarriages and rigmarole aside, and i know it's exciting to build a real business from an idea, and to accomplish your life mission and all, but what i'd really like to know, is what makes Penelope tick.

Here's my stance on happiness and choices: For as long as I can remember, everyone in my life has been telling me that I am wonderful and that I can do and accomplish absolutely anything I want in life. Their cups seemed to always overflow and I marveled at their accomplishments. Gen Y, sound familiar?).

2008 Think of networking as a lifestyle, not an event July 2009 The sign of a great career is having great opportunities, and saying no Sept. They told us how smart we were and how we'd accomplish so much. Why do you need to show your kids you're buying into this artificial social construct?

As a result, I'm content to remain a behind-the-scenes figure or a mentor's mentor ( [link] ). There is a science to the topic of well-being (which you wrongly call "happiness"–which, is a concept, rather than a construct that has an operational definition that can be measured) that you are writing about.

My company, Brazen Careerist , just launched a company section in our social network. And Jeremy Owyang, from Forrester Research reports that, "In approximately two years social networks will be more powerful than corporate web sites. Brands will serve community interests and grow based on community advocacy."
