Richard Wiseman, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/jun/30/self-help-positive-thinking" target="_blank"&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The self-help industry is mired in ideas about positive thinking that are at best ineffective and at worst destructive. If you want to be more confident or successful, says Richard Wiseman, the best thing to do is act the part&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For years self-hel…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HAVE YOU HEARD OF YOUROPENBOOK.ORG?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://youropenbook.org/" target="_blank"&gt;youropenbook.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, type in any keyword (like ‘cheater’) and hit ‘search’. The site will show you a listing of every public Facebook status update containing that term. Browse through those posts and you’ll be surprised to see that many Facbook users share more than they may be aware of. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To deal with this privacy problem, I suggest you start changing your security and privacy settings after reading this. But more importantly, be careful of what you post.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There was a man in India who was traveling on a train, and he had all of his possesion in a bag which was sitting in the luggage compartment above him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was very tired, but couldn’t fall asleep for fear someone would steal everything he owned when he closed his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what are the principles that changed my life, repeatedly?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Start very small.&lt;br/&gt;2. Do only one change at a time.&lt;br/&gt;3. Be present and enjoy the activity (don’t focus on results).&lt;br/&gt;4. Be grateful for every step you take.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In programming, this is called an algorithm. It’s a series of steps that you can apply to make any change, no matter what your situation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LESS GOALS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Living with less goals allowed me to focus my life. This allowed me to achieve greater results on the few things that truly mattered to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steve Jobs&lt;/strong&gt; also focused on his loved ones and his company. Interestingly, there is now a &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/07/the-history-of-steve-jobs_n_998325.html" target="_blank"&gt;debate&lt;/a&gt; on why he didn’t do much philanthropic work. I think he changed the world more by focusing on Apple.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“He has been &lt;strong&gt;focused on two&lt;/strong&gt; things — building the team at Apple and his family,” a friend told Sorkin. “That’s his legacy. &lt;strong&gt;Everything else is a distraction&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
