  • Who I am? A question everyone at some point will ask themselves
  • Refers to the global understanding a person has of themselves
  • For example, the statement, “I am lazy” is a self-assessment that contributes to the self-concept.
  • Your ability to say either YES and NO to events or statements.

      I can definitely relate to this statement.
  • You know someone who you enjoy being around socially but they occasionally do things that are a matter of a small illegal crime

      I agree with this statement also but i highly believe that EVERYONE in the world has done something illegal. Its no way you cannot.
  • Refers to the structure or framework that a person uses to organize and define what the world is to them.
    • citoking
       
      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

Confessions of a Hollywood Plastic Surgeon - 0 views

  • HIS NAME IS WHISPERED DISCREETLY between the racks of all those thousand-dollar frocks on Rodeo Drive, but he’s not a fashion designer.

The Truth About Excess Skin | The Dr. Oz Show - 0 views

  • The Truth About Excess Skin
    • mayaeri
       
      I predict that the article will be about how being overweight gives you excess skin
  • Where my stomach, legs and arms had previously been distended with fat, there was now some excess skin. Over a period of time, some of this firmed up with concentrated cardio and weight training, but only to a certain point. After 12 years and 4 more babies, it is as good as it’s going to get.
  • Does it bother me? A bit. Would I not have lost the weight had I known about the excess skin? No. It doesn't bother me that much, and the benefits of not weighing 300 pounds certainly outweigh any cosmetic issues. The issues I have are minor compared with the issues
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • There are people who have had gastric bypass surgery and lost tons of weight so quickly that their skin doesn't rebound at all. In those cases, plastic surgery may be a necessity, not just an option.
  • The skin is not attractive externally, but in some ways it reminds me of where I was and where I never want to go again. Don't be frightened by the prospect of excess skin if you have a large amount of weight to lose. If the skin bothers you, cosmetic surgery is an option that although pricey, offers very nice results.
    • mayaeri
       
      Excess skin is something that comes along with weight loss yes there is skin reducing cream but also there are surgeries that are there but during weight loss there is not much dodging of excess skin

What is your self-identity? - 1 views

  • Your self-identity was constructed in childhood.
    • citoking
       
      I Agree With this because you learn from what you grow up watching.
  • Your conscious identity makes the choices you are aware of, while your subconscious mind drives habitual healthy, and unhealthy behaviors.
  • Your self-identity is how you see yourself based on what you find similar to you consciously, and unconsciously.

  • To identify is to recognize something as familiar and similar.
    • citoking
       
      The author is stating the obvious
  • An identity is a constellation of characteristics that determine who a person is
  • Children are born without awareness of being a separate individual; you don’t have an identity to begin with!
    • citoking
       
      Social interactions
  • You need feedback to be aware of yourself.
  • Feedback serves as a mirror that reflects who you are being.
  • Mirroring and self-images
  • Self-images are constructed from important similar events that happened many times. These events were important because they involved people we trusted and needed to help us satisfy our core needs for safety, nurturing attention (love, belonging), and mirroring back our value etc.
    • citoking
       
      It seems as if they are explaining that your true colors will show around people you know you can trust such as your family
  • For example, if I was praised for “good performances” I would tend to see myself as intelligent (a positive self-image), and I would tend to see that in others, AND if was told I was stupid for making mistakes, I would learn to fear making mistakes because it means that I’m stupid (a negative self-image).

Ugly Truth or Beautiful Lie | a human under construction - 0 views

  • . why do i say temporarily? because some truths are not meant to be hidden, the cat will come out of the bag some time, some how.
    • smithwillicia_
       
      some truths aren't meant to be hidden , there meant to be found out , basically like the saying whats done in the dark eventually comes to light . some things are basically meant to be found out 
  • yes what's going to happen? the person who you lied to will be furious, the level of their anger will depend on how significant the truth is. the truth may even break your relationship with the person, trusts built are destroyed
    • smithwillicia_
       
      you should avoid lying to avoid this , the ugly truth is better then a beautiful lie , no matter how much it does hurt
  • ugly truth or beautiful lie, because at some cases, i would rather listen to lies than truths. but at some point, as bitter as the truth may sound, i would rather listen to it and accept it the way it is
    • smithwillicia_
       
      does this mean majority would rather sit and listen to a beautiful lie rather then the ugly truth . anything top keep you happy

  • must A speak the truth to B? yes or no?
    • smithwillicia_
       
      A should speak the truth to B , and explain they have changed , in my opinion i would rather find out something from the person instead of the person lying to me and then i finding out later about it or find out the person lied , it just makes the situation so much worst 
  • 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.
    • smithwillicia_
       
      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_
       
      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.

  • Working in Radio is a very popular career choice so the competition to secure a career is fierce.
    • darieh
       
      This was in the second article as well, The competiton for this job is strong so you need a good strategy to get where you wanna be.
  • People start listening to the radio at a very young age so the inspiration to work in Radio is injected very early on.
  • Digital Radio, Podcasting and Internet Broadcasting more stations and more jobs have opened up.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • ost of their presenters and staff working on a voluntary basis the amount of paid positions have not increased in line with the growth of Radio broadcasting.
  • If you have access to a computer you can now start practising by using a microphone and some audio editing software. Being able to listen to yourself and have others listen to your recorded voice is very important as you can sound very different on tape than what you think you sound like in your head. When you are listening to yourself you need to be able to critique your own performance and gain the feedback of others.
  • Content and ideas are very important elements of a good Radio show.
  • o you need to keep yourself on top of all the latest news, current affairs and anything your listeners may be interested in. You need to always be aware of what your viewers are interested in and what news affects them so that you can produce a show they can relate to.
  • t a young age it is very hard to get practical experience in Radio. This is when you need to start writing to and speaking to local Radio stations asking for work experience. You also need to be willing to do anything for little or no pay and do it with enthusiasm and to the best of your ability. Your jobs may include anything from answering the phone to licking envelopes but work experience is about putting your name around and making contacts.
  • You can however at any age present your very own Internet Radio Show. There are many websites, downloads and applications that will assist you to do this on the Internet.
  • eed to be sure of the laws and regulations surrounding Internet Broadcasting as there have been many changes since it's birth and getting in to legal trouble can damage your career before it's even started. If you are unsure of these regulations you can apply to Internet Radio Stations already broadcasting and present a show on their station. By doing this you have a ready made base of listeners but you may lose creative control over the content of your show. This in itself can be a good thing as it will gain you vital experience for a professional job in Radio.
  • When you reach the age of 16 you can start thinking about Hospital Radio. Many Hospitals have their own Radio stations who are always on the lookout for volunteers. You can find your nearest station by going to: http://www.hbauk.co.uk
  • adio Association website: http://www.studentradio.org.uk/ The Student Radio Association have annual awards which are supported by BBC Radio 1. Current BBC Radio 1 early morning presenter Greg James got noticed by the BBC after winning a Student Radio Award. Awards can help your career so always be on the look out and enter as many as you can other organisations like the Hospital Broadcasting Association also run their own annual award.
  • Always be on the lookout for Radio training. Organisations like the Radio Academy http://www.radioacademy.org and CSV Mediabridge http://www.mediabridge.org.uk are great websites for information on Radio training.
  • Outside of Radio there are other activities you can get involved in to help your development. Take up any chance you can to do public speaking whether that be announcing the bingo or being a MC for a local event. Other things you can try to develop your personality, character and tone are getting a vocal coach and joining a local Theatre or Dramatics group. To be a great presenter you need to have personality and be a character which you have to be able to put across by your voice alone so this is why extracurricular activities like these can help.
  • So if you want to be become a Radio Presenter or if you want to work in Radio be sure to always work hard, keep your eyes and ears open and never miss an opportunity.

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

  • 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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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.

      Isn't it really something thats already built in a person?
  • For Example,  If you’re in a relationship and you have an idea in your world view that trust is important, but you are not consciously aware of how you know when you are able to trust someone.  There will be a gap in your boundary under the preference of trust.  In this case you may unwittingly play games with your partner, setting up little tests and attempting to get feelings of being able to ‘trust them’ by seeing how well they do at your tests.

      As complicated as it seems , it really makes sense
  • From a psychological prospective when you are able to define a preference or rule in your world view; you become aware of your limit of control.
