I found this article and video clip about a one legged footballer after trawling the web for some ‘feel-good’ news. We are all in need of some inspirational news from time to time no matter how resilient we like to think we are. This young man is certainly an inspiration in providing answers to life’s problems. I re-produce the article I found in full below. And, enjoy the goal! 🙂 His highlight reel soccer goal would have been the talk of the town anyway, but the fact that Concord-Carlisle senior Nico Calabria was born with only one leg makes it that much more amazing to watch. Calabria, who plays on crutches because he says prosthetics weigh him down, was on the field during a varsity… Read More

That story may come from within these pages or somewhere else out there in this wide world of ours. And, I will pick an inspirational quote for the week starting with the one below…. Read More

Another summary of self development articles that I find on the web. You can view all the previous summaries in the series by clicking on this category link. The full title of the article is 5 Wrongheaded Attitudes Stunting Your Growth as an Entrepreneur by Kimanzi Constable. It was a contribution to the Entrepreneur magazine. Today’s Self Development Article – 5 Bad Habits Yes, the title is all about wrong attitudes but those attitudes may also be bad habits. Indeed the author writes, “Your personal habits and struggles can either cause your business to flourish or have it end up becoming another statistic.” Whether you wish to call them habits or attitudes is somewhat superfluous to the lessons contained within Constable’s message.

Hello, and welcome to another summary of an article I found on the web using the tag ‘self development articles.’ You can view all the previous summaries in the series by clicking on this category link. Today’s Self Development Article – Entrepreneurs 45 Great Websites to Make Some Extra Money is another listicle by Kristyna Z.. By my reckoning it falls into the category of self development. The terms self development, personal development and self improvement cover such a wide range of subjects. Many people have that need to earn extra cash or perhaps start up a business from home. This article provides some useful links to do just that or give you ideas. Entrepreneurs or wannabe entrepreneurs have to start somewhere. Favorite Quote from the… Read More
This is another summary in the series of summaries of self development articles. You can view all the previous summaries in the series by clicking on this category link. Today’s Self Development Article – Confidence For today’s article I return to Umair Haque. This article of his appeared on Medium titled What Confidence Is (And How to Find It) – What It Really Means to “Be Yourself.” Favorite Quote from the Author In the Article Summary of the Article Haque deals with the subject of confidence and starts off telling the reader that he wasn’t always confident. He informs us that the thing that changed him was being at “death’s edge” and having lost sense of ego. “Confidence is the most natural thing in the world…. Read More

This is another summary of a series of summaries of self development articles. You can view all the previous summaries in the series by clicking on this category link. Today’s Self Development Article – Leadership Today’s article is by August Tarak and it appeared in Forbes under the title What Every Leader Must Know About Personal Development. To be frank I searched for a different source of articles in this genre other than Medium (the source I have previously used). This Forbes article was near the top of the list. A quick read of the article grabbed my attention. And, you will see why shortly. Favorite Quote from the Author In the Article Summary of the Article Turak prefaces his article with this quote – “Man… Read More
A: When the author is Dan Pedersen. I typed in self development in the search box at Medium. I found this article A Word About Self-Education And Personal Development by Dan Pedersen. It intrigued me because it was a 1-minute read. The title also got to me. “One Word” has not to be taken literally. In Mr. Pedersen’s case it ended up as 100 words. The title got to me because as a Brit I am used to the expression, “Can I have a word in your shell-like?” Shell-like means ear. And a word is more like a torrent because the expression (which isn’t a request) means that you are in for a bollocking! Because the piece is so short I will reproduce it here… Read More
