Personal Learning Lifestyle blog post is entitled, "Do You Know that Stress Could Lead to Depression and Suicidal Thought?"

It says, "When we look at specific examples of mental health problems, we discover that stressful negative life events account for a large number of depression cases.

In 1969, when a team of investigators looked at the life events of 185 depressed patients prior to the onset of their depression, they discovered that, in almost all cases, there was an overwhelming excess of negative life events or events involving some sort of personal loss." Read Complete Post

'You Should Think like I do' - Blair Warren's Blog Post - February 24, 2007

Blair Warren's article is reprinted here.

You Should Think Like I Do

I like “how to be successful” books. I read a lot of them. I get value out of most of them. But they often contain a common element that just rubs me wrong.

Pick up most “how to be successful” books and you’ll see it on nearly every page. If you want to be successful, you need to think the way the author thinks. You need to see things the way the author sees things. You need to believe the things the author believes. Etc, etc.

Of course, it’s rarely stated out right, but the message is there just the same: if you want to be successful, you need to think like I do.

The trouble is, you can’t just decide to start thinking like someone else and have it stick. Why? Because you are you; you aren’t the other person. And since everyone’s life experiences are unique, the way we think will - to a large degree - be unique as well.

Does this mean we’re doomed to failure if we see the world very differently than some author we admire? I doubt it.

Just look at the wide variety of people who become successful in the world and then ask yourself, “If it is necessary to think a specific way in order to succeed, then how did all these vastly different people do it?”

Perhaps the key isn’t that we need to think like someone else but make the most of how we ourselves think. Since life gives each of us different experiences, perhaps we are to build upon those experiences and see where they take us rather than try to be like someone else.

Oscar Wilde said, “To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences it to put a lie into the lips of one’s life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.”

Heavy stuff, but I have found it to be true.

We may long to live the lives of those who parade their success before us, but to find our own success perhaps we would do well to perfect who we are than try to imitate what we see."

Robert says, "I was recently consulting for a company that is facing some very serious challenges.
