They are anxious for the things they have not achieved or gained- rather than building on what they currently have. Channeling your energy into the present can place your life on track and push away all the negative thoughts and fears surrounding you....

However, hope can only be accessed once we get out of our heads and quit over-rationalizing. We need to be truly convinced that better things are in store for us. Even if things may not seem to be going right in the present, we need to believe that there’s a bigger plan that we cannot yet see. Why Do We Need Hope? We need hope to help us get through the difficult phases of life and uplift our morale to give us the courage to deal with the concerns rationally....

What we don’t see is the passion, hard work, mistakes, thrift and plain old smarts that went into creating the lifestyles of the rich. The media didn’t follow them around with cameras when they were living in cars, working in diners, or recovering from debilitating addictions, before they achieved their financial success. The good news is babies aren’t born with millions of dollars in their bank accounts, and everyone has the ability to become financially successful....

Physiologically, stress exists as our body’s response to life threatening situations. When we feel endangered, our nervous system responds by releasing stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. This is our body’s way of protecting us through the “fight or flight” stress response. In emergency situations stress can help us stay alert, energetic, and give us superhuman strength to get out of danger. Once the threatening event is over, our body is designed to return back to its natural calm and relaxed state....

1. Be skilled, not just educated Laszlo Bock, the senior vice president of people operations at Google, opened up about the company’s strategies in a big way in a 2013 interview for The New York Times. One thing he mentioned was that Google placed a value on abilities rather than an impressive education. Bock said that, unless it’s someone only recently out of college, Google doesn’t judge applicants based on their G....

1. You have to be the most prepared person in the class Even when you think you are prepared enough to impress every student, you may still come short of answering the questions from the Mathematics textbook. It is not as if you aren’t passionate or familiar with the subject of mathematics, it is just that there comes a time in every teacher’s life when a child asks a question that he or she doesn’t have the answer to....

1. They always have a ton of to-do lists, spreadsheets and planners If you are prone to over thinking, chances are you’ve always got a list or spreadsheet within arm’s reach, and it’s not just for everyday to-do’s. Let me give you a personal example: while the average blogger will have 3-4 things on his “set up a website” list that he or she will go over in a couple of days, I would go through an extensive checklist before even deciding on a host, and I’d get stuck on simple web design choices for days....

Truth be told, if I was born somewhere in the 40s or 50s, I would most definitely have a lot of trouble understanding the lives of youngsters these days. It is very challenging to even filter all the information that we now have access to, let alone put it to good use. I mean, I’m not terribly surprised by the look of bewilderment on my mom’s face when I show her my Twitter profile....

Being a scientist, I can tell you that there are times when even we aren’t sure what’s going on in our heads. Being the analytical people we are, we tend to be very introspective, very detail oriented, and, for better or worse, very straight forward. I’ve been a scientist for over 20 years now, so here is some insight into the scientist’s world. 1. We see the world through scientific lenses....

1. Lying or cleverly evading the truth. Lies, secretiveness and evasiveness demonstrate you don’t respect your partner. Some omissions may seem harmless to you, but can erode trust. No one wants to be kept in the dark about their relationship, or worse, hear the truth through the grapevine. 2. Fighting for the number 1 spot. If you can’t imagine sharing the spotlight, then you are not ready for a new relationship....

1. A company is a community. Too often, bosses act like companies are machines. They treat workers like just the tools that get the job done. You know you have an awesome boss when he or she isn’t focused on machines and tools, but rather, building a community. Building a community is also better for the companies bottom line, because a community atmosphere promotes collaboration—which is where most amazing ideas come from....

1. Making them feel like kings. It is important to make your kids feel special, but losing your authority to them will only have negative consequences. Asserting your authority means establishing borders, boundaries and limitations as you raise them. Although it is vital to entrust them with certain responsibilities, it is your duty as the parent to guide them through it and make a success of whatever they are given....

1. Taking photos and videos allows you to become more comfortable with your body. It may be a bit difficult when you start, but when you spend extended amounts of time looking at photos or editing footage of yourself, you’re forced to come into terms with that fact that you’re body isn’t nearly as bad as you think it is. In fact, if you spend a good amount of time looking at yourself and hearing yourself talk you, just might find things you like about yourself that never occurred to you!...

But what happens when you take the opposite approach? When you reach out to help others, even when you’re not sure precisely what you have to give?

1. “That is such a great pin/ring/pen/etc.” By starting with a comment on something personal, you can often know more about the other person. This forays into the personal space without being too intrusive but at the same time its a positive note to start conversation with. And who knows you might just stumble upon a great story. 2. “Do you know which way the bar/room/office/water cooler is?” By asking a question, you make sure that the other person is compelled to answer....

1. We want that promotion, but we don’t shape our daily work routines around attaining it. We won’t always go the extra mile when an opportunity presents itself. Usually, a fresh promotion or a new position equips us with a sense of momentum that drives us to work hard, day after day. However, eventually we may lose interest in what we do. Our efforts stagnate if our role has remained rather monotonous....

Think Strategically What is the whole point of making a budget?...
