      This statement is true, with a positive attitude and ambitious mind you are capable of achieving anything. 
  • 30% of all people will never believe you. Do not allow your colleagues and employees to work for you. Instead, let them work for a common goal.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Sometimes when people doubt you that doesn't mean you can't achieve your goals. Doubt only push me to get to the point i want to be in. 
  • A leader should be a visionary and have more foresight than an employee. A leader should have higher grit and tenacity, and be able to endure what the employees can’t. A leader should have higher endurance and ability to accept and embrace failure.

  • The quality of a good leader therefore is his vision, tenacity, and his capability.

      This statement is true. You must have a clear vision of what you want and nothing can get in your way of that.
  • One should always understand that money and political power can never go hand in hand. Once you are in politics, don’t ever think about money anymore. Once you are running a business, don’t ever think of being involved in politics.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This is a good advice. Because politics is something I don't like getting involved in.
  • What is failure: Giving up is the greatest failure. What is resilience: Once you have been through hardships, grievances and disappointments, only then will you understand what is resilience.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Failure should only push you to not make the same mistake once. However, failure should never stop you from what you want. It should only motivate you more.
  • Only fools use their mouth to speak. A smart man uses his brain, and a wise man uses his heart.
  • I always tell myself that we are born here not to work, but to enjoy life. We are here to make things better for one another, and not to work. If you are spending your whole life working, you will certainly regret it.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      I always tell myself that I am not in the point of my life where I want to be. What I have now I deserve more. And my mindset only makes me grind harder for what I deserve.
  • No matter how successful you are in your career, you must always remember that we are here to live. If you keep yourself busy working, you will surely regret it.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      I see people born and die in the same place. Never felt their country just worked their whole life to live a life thats not really living. You must explore see whats out there. 
  • Those that compete aggressively with one another are the foolish ones. If you view everyone as your enemies, everyone around you will be your enemies.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      I believe no one can really get to the top by their self, you always need someone with connects. Being anti-social won't get you anywhere. Being social and kind to people will make people want to help you and see you achieve the best.
  • Competition is similar to playing a board of chess. If you lose, we can always have another round. Both players should never fight.
  • A real businessman or entrepreneur has no enemies. Once he understand this, the sky’s the limit.
  • Adopt and change before any major trends or changes.
  • Forget the money; Forget about earning money. Rather than having small smart tricks to get by, focus on holding on and persevering. Your attitude determines your altitude.
  • Today is cruel, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be beautiful.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Never let a bad day or the past ruin your future. What happened yesterday is yesterday there is always room for change.
  • If you do not know where your competitor is, or overconfident and snobbish about your competitor, or are unable to comprehend how your competitor became a real threat, you will surely fall behind him. Don’t be the “they” in this idiom: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Never worry about the next person, worrying about the next person will only make you be less than that person
  • Even if your competitor is still small in size or weak, you should take him seriously and treat him as a giant. Likewise, even if your competitor is massive in size, you shouldn’t regard yourself as a weakling.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This source is very helpful. It basically told me the does and don'ts in the industry. In order to succeed you must have a positive attitude and be very ambitious. Also to never let failure hold you back. It should only push you harder to grind for what you want. There's always going to be someone trying to compete with you but, pay no mind to competition. However, never underestimate others just don't focus on what there doing.

GUIDE: How To Make A Video Game In Two Weeks (With No Experience) - 0 views

  • How do you make a video game?
  • it isn't still a slog
  • great works usually take great pains to come about, after all.
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • Even if you're just an outsider with an idea, who isn't able to demolish their life to make a platform game about spiders riding boats (or whatever), you too can make a game.
  • Two weeks ago I decided to make a video game, with no experience. I didn't know what I wanted to make, or how.
  • focus on exploring your ideas, playing other games and insisting that you need to know what you're making before you start.
  • But we only have two weeks. So ignore it.
  • Game Maker is a visual and easy to understand tool which is also very powerful, potentially allowing you to make games for everything from Windows and Mac to iOS, HTML 5 and the Chrome Web Store.
  • It also comes with a set of really excellent tutorials, which are handily embedded within the software itself.
  • It's visual enough to get started - drag and drop sprites and backgrounds - but does take a bit of time to wrap your head around it all.
  • problem with Game Maker is that visually it doesn't give a very good first impression.
  • a simpler one - is Construct 2, by London-based outfit Scirra.
  • The main thing going for Construct2 - other than its friendly presentation and free trial version - is its community. Alongside a similar set of tutorials and examples to Game Maker, Construct has a forum filled to the brim with excellently helpful and engaged gamesmiths, ready to help you out and tolerate the whims of newbies.
  • Because of its simplicity, built-in "platform" movement system and logical "events-objects" structure, Construct was the tool I went with for my first game. I may switch eventually, but it's a good first step.
  • 2. DRAW: Create Your Characters
  • game makers will give you the option of using pre-made sprites and character art - and there is also no shortage of art to use online
  • it's when you have something all of your own that you'll start to really enjoy yourself.
  • While I have some experience as an artist, I still found animating characters for the first simple surprisingly time consuming until I got into a groove.
  • Let's face it - you're not going to make Mario or Super Meat Boy on your first go.
  • But the more you start to experiment with tools like Game Maker and Construct, the more you'll learn.
  • For instance, I needed to make a ladder for my little guy. Simple right? Not really. That behaviour wasn't built into Construct, so I had to invent it.
  • A search on their forums taught me
  • So back to the drawing board, again and again, until it came together.
  • PUBLISH: Show The World Your Work
  • has no original ideas and is a basic platformer. But it's mine. I made it.
  • Publishing games is easy
  • It's great to see it live, online, and working, as simple as it is - and it's another big boost to making more games.
  • Having tried it for two weeks, I can honestly say my favourite game of 2013 (so far) is making my own.

The 10 Ways To Achieve Success In Both Business And Life - 0 views

elitedaily.com/...essful-in-business-and-in-life

shared by Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • In life, like in business, you have the people who are out there living it to the fullest and the bystanders letting it pass them by. You have the people who sit around and mope all day about how miserable their lives are, then you have the people who are out there crossing things off their bucket lists on a regular basis.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This is so true, and I don't want to be one of those people who just let life go on without actually living my life and exploring all over the world.
  • Success is more than an idea, it is a state of mind. Although success is relative to each individual, the key to achieving success is the demeanor in which you go about living your life and taking advantage of opportunities that come to you.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Ambitious thinking and being able to see that you deserve more than what you have.
  • Whether it be in life or in business, you should never take anything for granted and you should learn how to make the most of the situations that are presented to you.

  • There is no way to turn this instinct on or off; however, when you realize you are in a tough situation, your gut feeling is the most trusted way to go.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      When you have a gut feeling that you should't do something and you do it anyway and something bad happens. This happens to me all the time, from now on i will be listening to that gut feeling.
  • If your gut is giving you a negative feeling about a particular person or situation, then it would be best not to question it
  • People love to be in their comfort zones, once we find a particular way of doing things, we are very reluctant to change the way we go about it. However, times do change and it’s important that we keep an open mind when it comes to new ideas and ways of thinking.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Change isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes you get exposed to things you never thought would happen. However, you should always keep a open mind.
  • This is especially true when it comes to the way you go about living your life. Don’t try to force your beliefs onto others. Just because something works for you doesn’t mean it will work for someone else
  • Have an open mind when it comes to understanding the new technologies out there; it will help you keep up with the times.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      When wanting to achieve successful you must open your mind to many options out their. Even things you had doubt in before.
  • Great success is coupled with great responsibility. Do not take your success for granted. You may have worked hard for what you achieved, but know that you are now in a position to help those who are less fortunate. Now this doesn’t mean you have to give away everything you have to people less fortunate, but it wouldn’t hurt you to give a helping hand.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This is so true sometime, people become successful and forget to help out the needy or even try to help someone be at the same position in life like they are in. Helping others bring good karma. Thinking about others is always a good thing.
  • There are people who will never get the same opportunities as you. Help open up doors for these people, it will not only show others the importance of helping out, but it will also make you feel good about yourself.

  • yes? sure, B will forgive A as he has made a new commitment to be a better person. and A got the credit for telling the ugly truth. but B will never see A the same way as before. B will always have second thought that suggests that A might be turning back to the old A, and have an affair with another person. B will never trust A completely, the way B did before.

      correct but whats done in the dark eventually comes to light , its better to hear it from ya spouse then some one else . 
  • no? this will be perfect if A is sure that B will never know. because if she knows about it from another person, she will be mad, like really mad. she would prefer to know the truth from A himself, and not another person. trusts broken, and their marriage may follow them too.
    • smithwillicia_
      smithwillicia_ on 05 May 14
       
      this would be the cause of the breakup , this would be the reason they won't stay together because of a beautiful lie . 
  • the question is, why do we sometimes choose to tell beautiful lie than to spill out the ugly truth? fear. guilt. shame.
  • fear that the person will be angry at you. the feeling of guilt because you just did something bad. the shame you have to bear because you yourself are unhappy with what you did.
  • how messy things can go after you tell the truth. because you know, people will find out the truth eventually, and believe me, things can go even uglier and messier. truths are easier to be get over with.

  • Creating a video game is a daunting task.
  • Big name developers like Bungie, Irrational Games, and Treyarch have budgets reaching into the millions, as well as a staff of designers and programmers working around the clock to bring the next blockbuster to your doorstep.
  • We’ve seen a virtual barrage of indie games for consoles and mobile platforms in recent years, combating the staple franchises and old classics of yesteryear with innovative new concepts and ideas that breathe new life into a slumping industry that ebbs and flows like teenage emotions.

  • Other hit titles, like Bastion and Minecraft (which just hit the 10 million sold mark), continue to showcase just how powerful indie gaming has become in recent years.
  • It requires a combination of hard work and innovation, a perhaps a dash of genius thrown in to boot.
  • Conceptualize the video game.
  • It’s easy to fall prey to the curse of second guessing your ideas and wanting to go back and continually replace what you’ve done.
  • You can easily get stuck in this pattern forever. Visualize the kind of game you want to make, but make sure it is within your limitations as an amateur game designer.
  • Know the type of game you want to make (i.e. a platformer, shooter, RPG). Know the budget. There are both free and premium options ripe for the taking. Know the length. Keep it short or attempt something on the sprawling side? Know the basic plot. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just have a general idea of the game’s goal. Know your skill level. Start with something simple and build from there.

      This source how to achieve success in 6 thoughts, is basically about ways you can become successful. I now fully understand in order to gain success you must have faith in yourself. Also you must be able to make a goal and stick to that goal. You can't doubt yourself because, thats only going to make you want to give up. The most important fact to me is that, failure is something that can be overcome. The key to overcoming failure is to "recognize your failure, identify the root and also make a plan to deal with them''. This way you won't make the same mistake twice.

  • Who I am? A question everyone at some point will ask themselves
  • Refers to the global understanding a person has of themselves

      I feel that this is basically saying that everyone see's the world in their own way.
  • While Self Esteem is a general state of mind, it is affected by changes in any one of the various feelings that make it up.  For example a drop in confidence will lower Self Esteem in the short term.
  • If you do not have a boundary about yelling, the person will yell at you … and you will feel according to your world view that they do not respect you and will lose Self Esteem.
  • A gap can be defined as a hole in your boundary.  It is a lack of a preference or rule you have about yourself or your behavior or your place in the world.
  • A vague preference or rule is something that you are a little wishy-washy on.  It is a concept or situation where you have an idea of what is acceptable to you
