being vain

If I’m not watching television, most people find me in front of my computer playing games or simply surfing the net almost about anything. I like checking beauty products, make up, clothes, accessories and so much more. I’m supposed to be a typical shopaholic that cannot afford to be. Hahaha!

I am actually thinking since I like beautifying myself; why not put it into practice. That way I will not just benefit from looking good, but others as well. Plus, I can make money from it. Before that, I must have a certification from a beauty school.

In my search, I found several cosmetology schools in indiana, but not nearby. It is being said that those campuses in Indiana mirror upscale salons and provide an exceptional education that benefits our students, the salon community, and the public. Probably if I do manual research in my area, I’ll find one. But, I am too lazy to do that.

the Gift of Failure

the Gift of FailureDuring this holiday’s, we are reminded to reflect on the bounty in our lives. Most of us have jobs, family, a place we call home and food on the table, and for these things and our ability to obtain them we should be grateful. But what about those who are struggling with financial difficulties, bad relationships, or employment problems? Do they owe any thanks for their circumstances? Can failure really be a gift in disguise?

Well, failures teach us about process. Thomas Edison tried over 9,000 designs before he created a working light bulb. A young reporter asked him how he felt after having failed 9,000 times. Edison replied, “I didn’t fail – I just learned 9,000 ways not to make a light bulb.”

We must see that failure is often a clue to redirect our efforts in a different direction and to follow a different set of plans. How many times have we learned how not to sell a product, how not to get a new job, or how not to judge a future mate? If a series of failures leads us to open our minds to new knowledge or information, or gives us the willingness to try different behaviours’ then we haven’t failed, we’ve learned how to create different results.
