Human beings have different aspects to their personality and character. For example, each person has unique values, hopes, plans, sexual desires, eating habits, daily routines, mental capacities, moral traits, and emotional patterns. During brief meetings, a person can not possibly reveal all his or her unique characteristics. Some people make powerful first impressions with their physical appearance or mental abilities or developed skills. Additionally, some people display admirable qualities in public while concealing negative or destructive traits. The trap that catches many people is falling in love with one aspect of a person?typically a striking aspect?and remaining blind to the bad or harmful aspects of that person. When one meets a potential love partner, one usually sees only a part of that individual’s entire personality and character. And when one is initially impressed with a potential love partner, one usually focuses only on the attractive qualities of the potential partner. But one needs to learn most or all aspects of the potential love partner to gain a comprehensive understanding of this person. In most cases, people do not reveal all their traits?especially their bad traits. Thus, one needs to take note of everything a potential lover reveals and then figure out his or her personality and character. How? One can carefully induce general qualities from exhibited traits and habits. One can also predict future actions by the potential lover via deduction from known characteristics. However, one should always remain open to new information that might modify one’s conclusions. Remaining blind?either intentionally or unintentionally?can only lead to pain and the loss of passion or the relationship itself. Breaking free from the trap of focusing only on one aspect of a person can be difficult, especially if one senses unpleasant characteristics beneath a person’s impressive facade. But this is vital if one wants a compatible lover for a long-term romantic-love relationship. Knowing as much as possible about a potential love partner is the key to making a sound decision to develop or avoid a romantic-love relationship with that potential partner.

Can anybody tell me or share their experience ?

Even greater long-term problems result from blaming others for one’s own problems. Work is the process of overcoming problems along the road to achievement. Problems are an inherent part of work, and, thus, life. Problems are also continuous?they never end. A mistake some people make is blaming life’s problems on other people. This is destructive because as soon as a person blames others for his problems, he loses the power to successfully deal with the problems.

One also accomplishes nothing constructive doing this. It amounts to a waste of time, thought, energy, and opportunity. If others cause one’s problems, then they must be held accountable. But if one’s problems arise from one’s own defaults, one must deal with these problems responsibly?through one’s own effort. This means dismissing the mystical “easy way out” by blaming others. It also means exerting rational effort to solve one’s own problems?especially when one does not feel like it.

Many people erroneously believe that man is sex-driven or greed-driven. Yes, some people are. But that is not the fundamental drive of man. What is the fundamental drive of man? Happiness.

Rational human beings strive to be happy. They base their decisions on their implicit or explicit hierarchy of values. They do this in order to achieve their values. And when they achieve their values, they experience happiness.

To make sex or money the sole drive of one’s life is to severely limit oneself. Once one has more than enough sex or money, then what? Can one really maintain the drive and motivation needed to continue seeking a narrow?but important?aspect of life? Probably not. One will probably quit exerting high energy to get more of what one already has in abundance. But if one is driven to be happy, which requires achieving one’s self-chosen values, one will probably remain motivated to achieve and grow.

Is the idea of winning every day really possible, or is it just a mystic’s fantasy? Can you make every day a success, so that each successful day culminates in a successful life? Or are you chained to failure each day, which culminates in an unsuccessful life? Each person’s sense of life or their attitude toward life ultimately determines if he or she will win or lose every day. However, the upside-down world constantly works to undermine everyone’s efforts to win. What can you do? How can you beat a negative attitude and the seemingly omnipresent upside-down world?

Winning every day is an attitude. That attitude arises from rational, business-like thinking. It does not arise from irrational, mystical thinking–from faith, praying, wishful thinking, or other similar concepts that spring from the corroded mind. Once you remove all the impurities from your mind and generate sufficient knowledge, success is practically guaranteed. Moreover, that success is not temporary; it is permanent. With a clean, integrated mind, you know that you will become a winner, permanently.

In reality, you will probably not win every single day of your life. That is because the law of averages holds that you will succeed and fail at various times in your life. But that is okay. For, the goal here is to develop the attitude of seeking to win every day. In other words, you want to approach each day as if you intend on succeeding and living the life of a winner. This secret provides you with unbeatable ideas you can use now to win more often in every area of your life.

In baseball or football, everyone likes to see a home run or a one-hundred yard touchdown pass that wins the important ball games. However, almost no one likes to see the strenuous work that goes on during practice and in the gym. Yet, that extremely hard work in practice and in the gym provides the foundation for winners. The home runs and one-hundred yard touchdown passes are the cashing in on that hard work. Without that consistent daily effort, such spectacular plays would be insignificant. For, winning teams do much more than perform a few glamorous plays. They win the tough little battles every day.

This secret integrates well with the mind of a winner. With this secret, you will see ordinary things in an entirely new light. Areas such as time management, diet, and exercise that may have been problems for you in the past will now become opportunities to win every day. Also, you will see the idea of hero worship from a radically new perspective. What is the result of these ideas? You can feel better about your life on a day-to-day basis as well as from a long-range perspective. By winning every day, you grow in self-confidence, self-reliance, competence, and self-esteem. Thus, you become motivated to apply yourself one hundred per cent every single day. You look forward to getting up each morning and living each day because you know how to win every day.

So many people out there aren’t willing to make the sacrifices necessary to be in the best shape they could possibly be in. They assume everyone else must be cheating. She must be on steroids, He must be on some type of drugs. That’s a self esteem issue -for them. What they are really saying is ,I don’t have the strength and the fortitude and the ability and the where-withal to endure the pain that it must take to get into that kind of shape. Therefore, he or she had to cheat. Because if he or she didn’t ,that means that she’s more focused,more determined,more ambitious,and more aggressive than they are… and they can’t accept that… So They Rather Say She Cheated……Stop with the B.S…….. and have a good workout…..lets keep it all good in the bodybuilding neighborhood…….
