Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.

When she was in high school, Lizzie Velazquez – a young woman affected by a syndrome which prevents her from gaining weight – was targeted by bullies for her outer appearance. They put on Youtube a video of Lizzie titled “World’s Ugliest Woman”.
Even if it was not easy, Lizzie managed to react positively and overcome this cruelty. Showing strength and determination she is progressively defining herself reaching her goals. She graduated, she is now a motivator and a writer.
In the TEDX linked below she affirms: “I am going to let my goals and my success and my accomplishments define me, not my outer appearance”.
In the video Lizzie gives us an important lesson on how positive attitude, clear vision and perseverance can help us reach success and react to obstacles in our lives.
Truly accepting dissent is one of the challenges of every human being.
Be it in the private sphere, in politics or in the workplace, the capacity to become enriched by other people’s opinions is crucial in anyone’s personal development.
This article reminds us that the weakness of many workplaces is precisely the fact that leaders rely too much on people who agree with them all the time. The simple truth of any hard choice is that if a decision is important and risky, it should be controversial.
In politics as well as in the workplace, real turning points are never smooth and include, indeed require, extensive and thorough debate. Even in the most heated discussions, one should remind himself of this elementary yet valuable truth.

A reputation built over many years can be lost in one minute. Dogs are so popular as companions because, whatever you say or do, they will always be happy to see you and will never criticise you.
