rising each time u fall

Wouldn't life be grand if things were to always work out the way we wanted them to? Just imagine that; life with no adversity. Yeah, right...OK, snap out of it. Life has never been, nor will it ever be without its ups and downs. If there's one thing all human beings have in common it's that we are constantly being tested by life's challenges. So the question is not, will life challenge you but rather, how will you react when it does?

The ability to confront and productively overcome life's challenges can be considered the number one most important quality shared by all successful people. If you lack the ability to bravely and confidently stand eyeball to eyeball with adversity, then anything else you do in your journey toward success will have very little meaning.

The phrase "a plum in the syrup" is a metaphor for those times in life when things do not go according to plan and more importantly, how you respond. You have virtually zero control over THE circumstances you'll have to deal with in life but at the same time you have 100% complete control over HOW you'll deal with them. In a nutshell: what happens to you in life is not what's important, it's how you deal with it that's important.

In the discussion of dealing with life's challenges, there can only be two types of people: victors and victims. Victors let nothing stand in the way of their great achievement. There is no obstacle a victor cannot overcome. They see life's challenges for what they are - opportunities to improve upon themselves and their work processes. Victors recognize that without life's challenges, there would exist no opportunity for self-growth.

Victims on the other hand waste a lot of time brooding about the adversities they face. They do not see life's challenges as opportunities for improvement but rather as reasons to accept mediocrity. When a victim is challenged by life they'll gladly take the path of least resistance. A victim will remain resistant to change and will therefore accept a challenge as a signal to quit.

Life does not catapult anybody to greatness without first testing their worthiness. Do you think those who achieve great things in life give up in the face of a challenge or do you think they find a way to rise above? This world is filled with victims and life does not reward victims.

And be accepting of the fact that life will never stop challenging you. Regardless of where you live or how much success you may've already achieved, you will have to confront challenges on an almost daily basis. In fact, the more successful you become, the more challenges you can count on facing.

So from this day forward understand that any "woe is me" attitude will absolutely hold you back from great accomplishment. Learn to see the opportunities which exist in every challenge you face and I can guarantee you'll achieve the greatness which is your destiny.

Chrome

www.google.com/chrome

I've been trying out a new web browser this week, and I have to say I am so far really impressed. Chrome is an offering from Google.

Straight away you can recognise the Google design team's influence here - the browser is simple, efficient and super fast, and has some nice little features to save you clicking your mouse to international RSI standards!

Downloading and installing is a breeze, and the software recognises which browser you use and will do all the messy importing of bookmarks and settings for you.

The browser window itself is crisp and clear; check out the getting started page for a full run down of the features.

Searching has been highly streamlined, as typing anything in the address bar will offer up web pages and search terms to apply to your default browser. It even highlights pages you have visited previously that contain those words - very handy.

The second is the frequently visited pages feature, which appears whenever you open a new tab. Here you'll see all the pages you visit a lot, laid out in thumbnail format so it's super easy to find your way to your faves. Lovely.

There are lots of things on the internet to shout about, so if you're the kind of person who likes to make a noise then you need to get yourself along to this site, where you make make as much of a hullabaloo as you like.

This site, like many other chat sites of its type, encourages users to have an open conversation on any subject they care to post about. The difference here is in the medium you use - not text but voice, either recorded through the website's dedicated feature, or uploaded from your hard drive as an MP3.

It's worth pointing out that you will need a microphone, obviously, and if you want to record your comments yourself they will have to be in MP3 format, so make sure you have a suitable recorder to hand.

As long as you don't mind running the site's little application, the in-built record feature is perfectly easy to use. You can even preview your recording and start over again before you make the post live.

There are categories listed on the left, and you can post your own topic or reply to someone else. It's great fun listening to the conversations that are building up, so why not come along and join the conversation - but beware, not all the conversations may be to your taste.
