And 46?! After looking at your profile picture and reading that I almost fell off my chair - you don't look a day over 35! I loved your question - is this courageous or craziness? I recently wrote in a post in this forum that nothing in the world has inherent meaning. Events and experiences have only the meaning we give them. It is never about what is happening but how we interpret what is happening that will control how we see a situation and ultimately how we feel ...

My name is Inga, nice to meet you. I'm a very new Xing memeber- only a few days. But I allready have found it not only interesting, but also useful to me. I've read some articles on personal development here- well, exactly for me:) I am Latvian, since January living and working in Baden-Baden, Germany. Came as a representative of a Latvian company which has purchased factory manufacturing cosmetics here. Did a lot of job restructuring the company, dealing mostly with financial, ...

What´ll I say, Jack, well I did learn it the hard way too: If you at one stage happen to be ABLE to fly and you are not aware that you do nor have you got the knowldge how you are doing it. That is one thing. What happens to you now when you suddenly REALISE that you can fly? - .... ... - So eventually I conciously taught myself to fly. And this was my second take off. To give it all a round shape: I went back on my naivety and added the aquired wisdom to it. So now ...

I speak to thousands of people every year and only a select few manage to apply it to make the required shifts. You are an absolute superstar - Well done! And Roswitha, I totally agree - if you can keep the naivity while gathering wisdom, then that is a dangerous combination!! I love your approach :-) Let's keep talking guys! Speak soon, Jack.

It has completly changed my perseption of a new and daunting challenge in my life, insted of thinking of this new experience as a failure and an ending I can now see what a phenominal new experience I'm about to embark on! I was recently sidelined at work. and needed to find a new challenge, after 7 months in a job I didnt really like and that was fairly badly paid (hour for hour) I was offered a ...

That´s what I have aquired at least. Naivity I kept and wisdom I somehow gained from pacing through life conciously.

The action we take in life is always a direct reflection of the emotional state we're in at any given moment. In that case we need to train ourselves into a state of emotional fitness. Emotional fitness is where we train ourselves to be in a peak state most of the time in order to take action toward what we want in life. If we're going to start taking decisive and consistent action it needs ...

At the age of 18 my naivity cost me $300,000.00. I think it's more about having the right mindset with the right information that allows us to make good decisions. Although naivity may help with taking action early on, it can be very risky, especially in business. And that's something myself and many of my corporate clients just can't afford. I look forward to chatting further :-) YJ Jack Delosa <en-support@xing.com> http://www.xing.com/app/forum?op=showarticles;id=10752274;articleid=10770963#10770963 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 23:41:28 GMT http://www.xing.com/app/forum?op=showarticles;id=10458318;articleid=10765658#10765658 Hello, I spent a few months last year in Italy teaching English through theatre, fairy tales and workshops, which was so much fun. When I returned to the UK I taught a class of 15 20 something drama students. I wasnt sure how they would take to being taught very basic english (they were all mother tongue). I gave them exactly the same workshop (although a lot longer) I would have given a class of 7 year old Italian children. The reception I recieved was overwhelming and the tutor of these ...
