- Let Your Brain Muscle Progress Your Career Prospects.
By: Geoffrey Norman | - You cannot go through your career expecting to go forward by being nice. It used to work but not now because Managers now have to perform.

- Is Change Another Word For Progress?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - As times change, so do companies. In 1806 William Colgate founded a company to make soap, candles and starch. Colgate toothpaste wasn't made until 1873. In 1837 John Deere was a frustrated blacksmith in Grand Detour, Illinois trying to make plows that cut through the area's clay. When he started to make his plows with cast steel, he started the John Deere Equipment Company. In 1866 David McConnell sold books door-to-door. To appeal to women customers he offered free perfume. When the perfume bec ...

- Where Is Progress Progressing?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - In Boston scientists have created a contact lens that can deliver a high concentration of medicine at a constant rate for more than 30 days; and because the drug-containing part of the lens is doughnut-shaped, it won't interfere with vision. Presently 90% of eye medicine is in the form of eye drops, but doctors estimate that only 1%-7% of the medicine gets absorbed into the eye. The rest runs down the cheeks. Although this lens has only been lab-tested, animal testing is starting; and it's expec ...

Also, you need to evaluate the resources necessary when working to your goals.

- Who Puts The Pro In Progress?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - Twenty-six women in Saudi Arabia completed the first course of its kind in the country - how to stock, fit and sell underwear. Training organizers hope the 40-hour course, using colorful bras donated by employees of Victoria's Secret, will boost the campaign against banning women from selling underwear. As of 2009 staff in lingerie stores - except in a few women-only boutiques - are men, which is ironic in a country that segregates the sexes. The 2006 law saying that only women can be employed i ...

- Why Did It Take So Long?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - Women in Kuwait didn't get the right to vote or run for political office until 2005. Four years later, in spite of strong opposition from Sunni Islamist politicians, four women won seats in the 50-member parliament. Aseel al-Awadhi, a U.S. educated, philosophy professor at Kuwait University, was accused by her religiously conservative opponents of being an infidel. They recorded and edited her lectures to make it seem she was against Islamic Sharia law. The women's victory, seen as a victory for ...

- "muscle Confusion Myth": Don't Let It Hold Back Your Bodybuilding Progress
By: Scott Abbett | - Why is it that so many myths and downright idiocies become commonplace acceptances within the bodybuilding and fitness industries? Does it stem from widespread use of anabolic steroids - resulting in general ignorance among those considered to be experts by mere exhibition of their overdeveloped musculatures? Is it perpetuated by fitness trainers who'd like nothing more than to convince their clients that there's more esotericism to working the body than one might originally suspect? These quest ...

By: Eva Eskilsson | - As the difficulty increases, the rock becomes less forgiving and one must find an exact sequence of movements in order to reach the top. Climbing vertical rock is like performing a carefully choreographed dance. But how do you obtain that fluid, seemingly effortless dancing up the rock?

- The Backsliding Blues: Tips To Get You Back On Track
By: Carolyn Ellis | - Progress is never a straight line. Often it's a matter of one step forward, two steps back. Just ask Oprah, icon of self-improvement, who publicly confessed how sabotaging beliefs contributed to weight issues that continue to plague her. Backsliding after we've started some new habits or set new goals is common. The choice you make after you've "fallen off the wagon" that is critical.
Backsliding can show up anywhere. You decide to save some money, but then you can't resist that s ...

OK, self-realization has never been my strong suit. Not only was I out of place on the basketball court, I was out of place climbing 2 flights of stairs. There were lots of friends telling me, "you're not as young as you used to be, you have to give up on that stuff."

By: Donald Mitchell | - My first trip on a German autobahn was an unforgettable experience that left me glad to be a pedestrian again. There's no speed limit on these well-engineered and flawlessly maintained roads. Many people drive high-powered Porsches, BMWs, and Mercedes that are designed to virtually fly over these routes.

By: Donald Mitchell | - Before creating the 2,000 percent solution process (devising ways to accomplish 20 times more with the same time, money, resources, and effort), I was fascinated to find that most of the world's best solutions to important problems were put into use by a few people more than 400 years before broad adoption. Consider the mortar in Roman roads. Visit Italy and you see roads that are still in use after more than 1,500 years. Watch the new concrete highways near your home, and they will soon be crum ...

By: cdmohatta | - Our confidence comes partly from accomplishing things and recognizing those accomplishments. When we don't stretch ourselves to grow and reach our goals, but instead ignore matters or want things done for us because we "can't," then we don't gain this kind of confidence. Negative feelings can creep in because we feel we should be doing more or mistakenly think we can't do much.
It isn't enough just to accomplish things. That alone won't make us feel ...

By: cdmohatta | - You can break through your self imposed limits by choosing a few select phrases to repeat to yourself at key times.
My favorite one is, "It's easy." As is so often the case, I first noticed this effect not with myself, but when it happened to someone else. I had a friend who suffered from depression. I noticed when I spoke to her that a phrase she would use again and again in many different circumstances, was, "It's hard." This started to sound like a negative mantra. It ...

That most people spend time and energy living in the past, regretting something they did or didn't do, or some slight or hurt they suffered years before.
