Welcome to
2004! Many people are making lists of
"New Year's Resolutions": exercise, eat right, travel, get a new job,
start a business, etc. Too often, these
goals quickly fall by the wayside and habits take back over. Most
resolutions
fail because they are actually wishes. To actually achieve the written
goals,
they must be specific and realistic. However, the most important factor
is YOU.
The word resolution comes from 'resolve' and means to make up one's
mind or
decide firmly. Are you really committed to making it happen? Are you
prepared
to overcome potential obstacles? Are you focused and ready to become
educated
in the area(s) you which to improve?
1st
Impressions will continue to provide information in the area of
professional
image and etiquette development. You may wish to incorporate some of
the
following personal development goals into your list. In the upcoming
months,
tips and techniques to become skillful in these important areas will be
addressed in this newsletter.
- Smile
more.
- Develop
charisma.
- Increase
confidence level.
- Update
personal image.
- Give
more compliments.
- Improve
vocabulary and communication skills.
- Initiate
contact with new people. Be proactive.
- Remember
people's names.
- Take
more risks.
- Form
and nurture strategic alliances.
A
successful New Year’s resolution requires planning, but even the
best-planned
resolutions aren’t always achieved. If you start a resolution but don’t
reach
your goal, don’t give up. Look at what factors stopped you and
incorporate this
information into a new plan that may be more successful. And remember,
you can
make a resolution to change something in your life at any time. There’s
no need
to wait for a new year to pursue a new you!
The expert at anything
was once a beginner. --Hayes
The only
limit to our
realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. -- Franklin D.
Roosevelt
Confidence is not the
absence of
fear, it's the action of moving forward in spite of it.
Whatever
your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. --Ecclesiastes
9:10
