Readers are Leaders

We've all heard the saying that we should feed our minds. Studies have showed that "Readers are Leaders". So make it a point to feed your mind each day. And make sure to feed your mind with information that will directly teach you something about bettering yourself.

Everyone has heard of these books and there is a reason why. They work!

Assertiveness

When I was younger I struggled with this. I always took a passive approach to things. With the thought that I deserve what I get. Instead of being ASSERTIVE and going after what I wanted. This is no way to live your life. Getting what you want can be as simple as asking for it. But if you sit back and are passive you may never get those things you want.

Here is another great article about Assertiveness

Communication Skills Quiz

How are your communication skills? I came across this quiz online. It's only 15 questions and takes less than 5 minutes to complete. So, of course I take the quiz and to my surprise I scored a 48 out of a possible 75 points. I guess I will be working on communication in the near future.

Check out the site. There are some interesting articles on a variety of topics.

Who are you?


"Sun Tzu for Success" is writer Gerald Michaelsons practical interpretation of Sun Tzu "Art of War". This is a great read for all walks of life. This book has advice for any person looking to better themselves in any area of focus. So much valuable information in this book. I just love it.


My favorite part of this book is the section "Who are you?". Think about that! How can we be ready for success if we haven't discovered ourselves? Self-Knowledge is the foundation of success.
