Personal Effectiveness

Dear readers of my blog! =)

The holidays are coming and I would like to thank all of you for keeping coming to my page. I wish all of you Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year and I would like to share one of my secrets with you.

Here, in Belarus, when there is 1 minute left till the New Year they show a big clock on TV (the Kremlin in Moscow) and I always have 3 dreams to come true in the upcoming year. Just when the clock counts the last seconds of the year I think about these 3 major wishes and I ask God to help me very firmly.

All my three dreams come true every year. =)

I hope this secret will help you to reach your goals. Just do something for their realisation and beleive in what you doing.

Have you ever asked yourself a question: "Am I a leader or not?"
What does it actually mean to be a leader?

Leader is formed from the verb "to lead" meaning "to show the way". Therefore, we can interpret it this way - "a leader" is a person who shows other people the way to their goals. Some scientists divide people onto leaders and ... not leaders. =)
Besides there is a point of view that there are only 5-10% of leaders of all people.

Let us find out what makes us leaders and what the benefits of being a leader are.

First of all leaders have a sharp vision of the goal that they want to achieve.
Secondly they are able to persuade the others to follow them.
At last they have certain personal qualities and traits of character that allow them to be the leaders.

The benefits of being a leader are great, you become famous, get the respect, get more money and self-confidence. But as I have mentioned, not many of us become leaders.

Would you like to learn more about leadership? Remember, we learn when we do something ourselves, not just listen. So do a simple thing - explain all 3 points mentioned above yourself and give your opinion.

Are you really unique? Most of us never think about it. However, this is a very important thing that everybody should pay attention to.

When I was seventeen I went to a health centre near the city of Brest in Belarus. A woman there told me that there was a very good psychologist at health centre who consulted the visitors for free. I decided to pay him a visit just for the sake of interest. When I came into his office I saw a very calm indoor environment. A big man in a pleasant voice was sitting in a leather chair. He offered me to take a seat into a leather sofa. He asked my name and the reason why I came to him. I told him that I didn't have a specifc reason but people had told me about him and I just wanted to have a talk with a good psychology specialist.

He took a pause for maybe one minute, and then he told me simple words that moved me. He asked me if I knew the quantity of people in the world. Then he said that there are 6 billion people and there are not two similar people in the world.

So what is the whole story about?

To tell you the truth, you are unique amongst 6 billion people on the Earth and you have to realize it.

Your knowledge is by no doubt in demand. All you have to do is to advertise yourself in the right place and in a right way. Let people know about your unique identity and your ability to satisfy their needs and to give them what they want.
