The Psychology of self motivation | Scott Geller                               Scott Geller Beyond boundaries. What a theme, huh? Now, when I think of boundaries, I think of rules, regulations,and restrictions. And I think of the parents,and the teachers, and the supervisors, who hold us accountablewith regard to those boundaries.  That's not a bad thing. Yeah, I know, if you're like me,I need supervisors, I need someone holding me accountableto do the right thing. But beyond boundariesis something different.  I think of those leaders, those teachers,those supervisors, those parents who inspire usto go beyond the call of duty, to do more than we have to, to do it not because they tell us,but because we want to.

self-confidence tips | THE SKILL OF SELF CONFIDENCE

self-confidence tips; Self-confidence Transcriber :  Jaime OchoaReviewer: Elisabeth Buffard In my past life as a soccer coach, once you won a national championship, everyone wants to come play for you. Really not true. Once you paid them$ 25,000 a year in scholarships, everybody wants to come play for you. And parents would alwayscome to me and they'd say: "Okay, my son or my daughterwants to come play at your university, what is it that we have to do? You know, what are you looking for?" And being the Socraticprofessor that I am, I say, well, what doesyour son or daughter do? What do they do really wellthat we'd be interested in?
