How to love your job when you hate it

08/05/2025 by Roy Sutton

How to love your job when you hate it? A question I’ve been asked numerous times. My response is always the same. The best way to appreciate the job you have is to imagine your life without it.

That starts with taking a closer look at what’s good about the job. There’s usually some aspect of the job we enjoy, even if it’s only the swivel chair we sit in.

Life’s too short to hate your job

Do you hate your job, dear reader?

Do you tell everyone, at every opportunity, that you hate your job?

By telling everyone you hate your job, do you imagine they’ll be impressed or, in some way, feel sympathy for you?

Maybe you think that by doing this, your fellow workers will regard you as someone unafraid to speak their mind.

Perhaps you think that in the eyes of your fellow workers, this approach will make you look good.

Hold that thought, and then consider this question. How do you feel about working with someone else who’s always moaning about how unhappy they are at their job?

Do you admire that person?

Do they impress you with their negativity?

I’m guessing your response to this question will be negative. I’m sure you’ll be unimpressed with such people. After all, most of us are.

Everyone hates a moaner

If you imagined that moaning about how unhappy you are was the best way to get people on your side, then seriously, you need to think again. Everyone hates a moaner, whatever indications you’ve heard to the contrary. Let me tell you this: no one’s impressed.

Your colleagues may not say so, but they’ll find your negativity irritating at the very least. It’s probably driving them all nuts.

Life’s short, and it’s hard enough for most people. So having some moaning Minnie constantly bringing them down makes life harder.

Constant negativity is just a pain in the rear for most people.

Imagine your life without your job

If your current mindset means you hate your job right now, then the first thing to do is start changing that mindset. Start by looking at your job differently.

How?

Well, imagine your life without your current job. What would that be like? Think about that question carefully, and be honest with yourself.

Without your job, you’d have nothing to do, no reason to get out of bed, nowhere to go, no sense of purpose, nothing to challenge you, no money, and you’d be without the camaraderie of your fellow workers. You’d probably feel lonely and lack any real social life, too.

How would that make you feel?

Would you feel better about yourself without those things?

I’m sure if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll recognise that work gives us far more than we realise. I don’t think you’d be happy without all those things mentioned above.

So the best way to begin appreciating your job is to imagine your life without it.

No job is perfect

Most jobs come with an element of frustration and a spoonful of tedium. That’s life.

No job is perfect, but no job is all bad either.

It’s just a matter of how you choose to look at things.

If you focus on the bad things, then everything will seem bad. However, if you focus on the good bits, then your job can begin to look very different, and you’ll start to feel more positive about your work.

The fact is, we all need to do something with our time, surely?

Even millionaires need something to fill their time.

There are only so many holidays you can take and so much shopping you can do.

Eventually, everyone needs a sense of purpose, and we all want to feel that we’re making a contribution to the world around us.

Life’s a short movie

Life’s far too short to be unhappy.

So if you hate your job, then you have two choices:

You find another job, or
You start looking differently at your current job.

And before you start searching the vacancy columns or the job websites, think carefully about what you might be throwing away should you leave your current job.

Moving to another job doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be any happier.

Neither will it guarantee that you’ll find the perfect job for you.

So it’s worth thinking seriously about your current job first. At least it’s the devil you know.

Can you begin to look at your current job differently? Perhaps you need a little help.

I really hate my job

Here’s a great motivational speech from the late Zig Ziglar that you might find very useful.

It’s full of great advice and well worth a few minutes of your time.

If you don’t like your job right now, then you really should watch it.

Even if you do like your job, watch it anyway. I found it truly inspirational. So take a look at it now.

Further Listening:

I’m a huge fan of Zig Ziglar, but I recognise that he had an evangelical presentation style that’s not to everyone’s taste.

However, if you can get beyond that presentation style, then his words are inspirational and informative.

I particularly like his audiobooks, which I listen to constantly when I’m driving.

One audiobook I can recommend is:

The Born to Win Seminar

Listen to this, and I promise you it will help you discover your untapped greatness and guide you towards greater success in life.

I bought my copy of this audio program for my library, and it was well worth the price. I listen to it over and over again, and I always find something new in his words.

5 questions that’ll help your buying decision process

08/04/2025 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

Today, I am considering the buying decision process.

If you want to create wealth, it starts with being sensible with your money.

So, the buying decision process is essential.

Buying decision process:

Now, how can you be expected to save money when you don’t earn enough to make ends meet as it is?

I’m guessing you may have asked yourself that question at least once, dear reader? If you have, you’re not alone. It’s a common challenge.

However, whilst some people may struggle financially, it’s also true that far too many people squander their money buying items they don’t need and probably will never use, often in an attempt to impress people they don’t even like.

For such people, their buying decision process is usually limited to whether they still have enough credit left on their credit cards.

Well, the mantra “Have Plastic; Will Purchase” is not a good one if saving money is one of your goals.

You can earn a decent income, and yet a lack of money management skills and poor buying decisions will result in you never achieving financial freedom. Poor money management skills will condemn you to a life of being poor.

So it’s essential that you learn to manage your money properly if you want to avoid long-term poverty.

Avoid the ‘I’ve got to have it’ approach:

So, be honest with yourself: how often do you buy things you didn’t need?

Stuff that you weren’t even looking for, but it was there, and it looked nice, and you thought, I’ve got to have it. Out pops your ‘flexible friend,’ and the item is yours. A brief period of gratification follows, and then the item is largely forgotten.

How often do you buy things you never use?

Take a look at your wardrobe. I’ll bet there are a few items in there that still have the store tags on them. Never used, and they’ve probably been there for quite some time, I suspect? Would I be right?

‘I’ve got to have it‘ is a great way to waste all your money. With this approach, you’ll enrich other people at your own expense. Now how could that possibly make sense?

Credit cards: Weapons of mass wealth destruction:

How often do you buy things you can’t afford with money you don’t have?

It’s true, credit cards can be a convenient means for making payments, of course, but they can also be weapons of mass wealth destruction. That’s a fact, dear reader.

When it comes to the buying decision process, most of us are driven more by a desire for gratification than by any sensible approach to managing our money carefully.

Most of us are guilty of buying more than we need. Many of us are guilty of buying items we seldom use, if at all.

If you’re like this, dear reader, then you’re not alone, I can assure you. However, that’s not a good thing.

The disciplined approach:

With discipline, you can hang on to more of your money and build capital, which, eventually, will start generating an income all of its own through interest payments on deposits and bonds, dividend payments, and capital growth on stocks and shares.

Still, we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

The underlying message I offer you today, dear reader, is that:

You should establish for yourself a buying decision process that will allow you to control your expenditure.

Essentially, before you buy anything, you need to ask yourself a series of tough questions to gauge whether the purchase makes good sense.

And what are those questions?

The questions to ask before making any purchase:

There are, in fact, five questions you should ask yourself before making any purchase, as follows:

Do I need it? Honestly?
Will I use it? Honestly?
Can I afford it? Honestly?
If I didn’t have it, would it matter?
Does it represent value for money?

If you answer ‘No’ to the first four questions, the fifth question is irrelevant.

A negative on all or even most of the first four questions means don’t buy the item. Simple!

And even if you do think you need it, never buy anything if you do not have the money to pay for the item right now. Never, ever incur debt for a discretionary purchase.

It’s better to do without than to run up debt on a credit card to pay for discretionary purchases.

The compounding effect of high credit card interest rates can quickly turn a small debt into a large one.

The ‘value for money’ question is only relevant when you can answer every other question in the affirmative.

Nevertheless, you should never buy something that’s not also good value for money.

That is, you should never overpay for anything.

Overpaying means the price is inconsistent with the value on offer.

Let the answers to the questions guide you:

To ensure your buying decision process is sound, you must always ask these questions.

Let them be your purchasing guide, and you’ll be in a better position to start saving money and watch it grow.

Once it starts growing, you’ll be on your way to building your own personal wealth.

15 Questions to Discover Your Life Purpose

Understanding Life Purpose

Life purpose gives meaning and direction to our actions. It shapes our choices and motivates us to pursue goals aligned with our deepest values and aspirations.

Defining Life Purpose

Life purpose is the central driving force that gives our existence meaning and direction. It’s the reason we get up each morning and the guiding principle behind our major life decisions.

A person’s purpose often stems from their unique talents, passions, and values. It can involve making a positive impact on others, pursuing personal growth, or leaving a lasting legacy.

Your purpose may not necessarily be grand or world-changing. It’s different for everyone. For some, it might be raising a family or excelling in their chosen career. For others, it could be creating art or advancing scientific knowledge.

Purpose vs. Aspiration

While related, purpose and aspiration are distinct concepts. Purpose is the underlying “why” behind our actions, while aspirations are specific goals or dreams we hope to achieve.

Purpose tends to be more stable and enduring. It forms the foundation of a meaningful life. Aspirations, on the other hand, can change over time as we grow and our circumstances shift.

A person might aspire to become a doctor, but their underlying purpose could be to help others and alleviate suffering. If becoming a doctor proves unfeasible, they might find other ways to fulfill their purpose, such as nursing or medical research.

Aligning aspirations with your life purpose should lead to a more fulfilling life. When goals and actions are in harmony with core values and motivations, you’ll tend to feel more satisfied and driven.

Identifying Your Core Values

Core values shape who we are and guide our choices. They form the foundation of our authentic selves and influence how we interact with the world.

Importance of Core Values

Core values serve as a compass for decision-making and behavior.

They help people stay true to themselves, even in challenging situations.

Identifying these values allows individuals to live more authentically and with greater purpose.

Some common core values include:

Honesty
Integrity
Compassion
Creativity
Independence

When people align their actions with their values, they often experience greater satisfaction and fulfillment in life. This alignment can lead to improved relationships, career success, and personal growth.

Your Values and Decisions

Core values play a crucial role in shaping decisions, both big and small. They act as a filter, helping individuals evaluate options and choose paths that resonate with their authentic selves.

For example, someone who values environmental sustainability might:

Choose eco-friendly products
Opt for public transportation
Pursue a career in conservation

By making choices that reflect their values, people can create a life that feels meaningful and purposeful. This consistency between values and actions can reduce internal conflict and increase overall life satisfaction.

It’s important to regularly reflect on and reassess one’s values, as they may evolve with new experiences and personal growth.

Discovering Passions and Talents

Finding what you love and what you’re good at is key to uncovering your life purpose. These two elements often go hand in hand, shaping the path to a fulfilling life.

Uncover Your Passions

To find your passions, think about activities that make you lose track of time. What subjects do you enjoy learning about? Pay attention to topics that spark your curiosity or make you want to share with others.

Try new things regularly. This can help you discover interests you didn’t know you had. Keep a journal of activities you enjoy and why you like them.

Ask yourself questions about what excites you. What would you do if money wasn’t an issue? What causes do you care about deeply?

Recognizing Your Unique Talents

Everyone has special abilities that set them apart. Think about tasks that come easily to you but might be challenging for others. These could be your natural talents.

Ask friends or family what they think you’re good at. They might notice skills you take for granted. Look back at past successes and identify the skills that led to those achievements.

Consider taking personality or strength assessments. These tools can highlight your innate abilities. Reflect on what unique talents you have to offer the world.

Pay attention to the compliments you receive. They often point to your strengths. Think about how you can use these talents to make a positive impact in your personal and professional life.

Embracing Personal Strengths

Knowing your strengths helps you find a meaningful life path. It lets you use your natural talents and gifts to make a positive impact.

Assessing Your Strengths

To find your strengths, think about what comes easily to you. Ask friends what they see as your best skills. Take note of tasks that energize you rather than drain you.

Look for patterns in your past successes. Were you always good at organizing events? Or coming up with creative ideas? These may point to your natural talents.

Consider taking a strengths assessment test. These tools can reveal hidden abilities you may not have noticed. They often group strengths into categories like communication, problem-solving, or leadership.

Write down your top 5-10 strengths. Include both skills you’ve developed and innate gifts. This list will guide you as you explore life purposes that fit your talents.

Strengths and Life Direction

Your strengths can light the way to a fulfilling life purpose. They show where you can excel and make the most impact.

Match your strengths to potential careers or volunteer work. For example, if you’re naturally empathetic, you might find purpose in counseling or social work.

Think about how to combine multiple strengths. Someone creative and analytical might find purpose in fields like data visualization or user experience design.

Don’t ignore your unique gifts. If you have a rare talent, it could lead to an unusual but rewarding path. A gifted musician might find purpose in music therapy for special needs children.

Remember, using your strengths doesn’t mean everything comes easy. It means you have the potential to become truly exceptional with practice and dedication.

Pursuing Joy and Satisfaction

Finding joy and satisfaction in life can point us toward our true purpose. These positive emotions often signal when we’re on the right track and living in alignment with our values.

Joy as a Compass for Purpose

Joy acts as an internal compass, guiding us toward activities and goals that feel meaningful. When we experience joy, it’s a sign that we’re connecting with something important to us. Pay attention to moments that bring a smile to your face or make your heart feel full. These could be clues to your life’s purpose.

Make a list of things that consistently bring you joy.

Look for patterns in the list.

Do you feel happiest when helping others?

Creating art?

Solving problems?

These themes can reveal potential paths to pursue.

Joy doesn’t always mean constant happiness. It’s a deeper sense of rightness and fulfillment, even during challenges. Notice which difficulties feel worthwhile to you – that resilience hints at purpose.

Measuring Satisfaction

Satisfaction comes from making progress on meaningful goals.

It’s the feeling of contentment after putting in effort and seeing results.

To measure your satisfaction:

Set clear, achievable goals aligned with your values
Track your progress regularly
Celebrate small wins along the way
Reflect on how your actions impact your overall well-being

Use a simple rating system to gauge your satisfaction in different life areas.

Score each on a scale of 1-10:

Work/Career
Relationships
Personal Growth
Health
Finances

Low scores show where you might need to make changes.

High scores reveal areas closely tied to your purpose.

Aim for balance, but remember that your unique purpose may emphasize certain areas more than others.

Overcoming Challenges on the Path

Finding your life purpose often involves facing obstacles and building inner strength. These skills help you stay focused on your goals despite setbacks.

Identifying Obstacles

Fear of failure is a common challenge when seeking life purpose. Many people worry about making wrong choices or disappointing others. This fear can stop them from trying new things or pursuing their dreams.

Another obstacle is lack of clarity. Some struggle to define what truly matters to them. This confusion makes it hard to set meaningful goals or take action.

External pressures also create roadblocks. Family expectations, societal norms, or financial constraints may conflict with personal aspirations. These factors can make people feel torn between different paths.

Building Resilience

Resilience is key to overcoming challenges on the journey to purpose. It helps people bounce back from setbacks and keep moving forward.

One way to build resilience is through self-reflection. Taking time to examine thoughts and feelings can lead to better self-understanding. This awareness helps in dealing with difficult emotions and situations.

Developing a growth mindset is also important. Viewing challenges as opportunities to learn and grow makes them less daunting. This attitude helps people persist in the face of obstacles.

Building a support network is crucial. Surrounding oneself with encouraging people provides emotional strength. It also offers different perspectives and advice when facing tough decisions.

The Importance of Relationships

Human beings are social animals. We need other people.

Relationships play a key role in shaping our purpose and identity.

Our connections with others provide support, guidance, and inspiration as we navigate life’s challenges and opportunities.

Family and Friends as Support

A strong support system of family and friends is vital for personal growth. These close relationships offer emotional backing during tough times and celebrate our successes.

They can:

Provide a listening ear when we need to talk
Offer advice based on their own experiences
Encourage us to pursue our goals and dreams

Having people who believe in us boosts our confidence. It helps us take risks and try new things.

Regular social interactions also improve mental health and reduce stress. This allows us to focus more clearly on our life’s purpose.

Learning from Role Models

Role models inspire us to become better versions of ourselves. They demonstrate qualities and achievements we admire and aspire to.

Role models can be:

Family members who’ve overcome obstacles
Friends who’ve achieved success in their field
Public figures recognized for their positive impact

By observing role models, we learn valuable life lessons.

We see firsthand how to handle challenges and pursue goals. This helps shape our values and aspirations.

Role models also show us what’s possible, expanding our view of potential life purposes.

Setting Clear Aspirations

Clear aspirations help guide life choices and create a sense of purpose. They shape both personal and professional goals, leading to a meaningful legacy.

Defining Your Aspirations

Aspirations are the dreams and ambitions that drive a person forward.

They can range from career goals to personal growth targets.

To define aspirations, one must reflect on their values and passions.

Some key questions to ask:

What brings joy and fulfillment?
Where does one see themselves in 5, 10, or 20 years?
What impact does one want to make on the world?

Writing down aspirations makes them more concrete. It’s okay if they change over time. The important part is having a clear direction.

Aligning Aspirations with Purpose

Aligning aspirations with one’s life purpose creates a powerful synergy. This alignment ensures that goals are not just achievable, but also deeply satisfying.

Steps to align aspirations and purpose:

Identify core values
Examine how aspirations reflect these values
Adjust goals to better match your mission

When aspirations and purpose align, it becomes easier to set meaningful professional goals. This harmony also helps in creating a lasting legacy that truly represents one’s values and desires.

Regular check-ins are crucial.

As people grow and change, so might their aspirations and purpose.

Staying flexible allows for adjustments along the way.

Developing Personal Growth Strategies

Personal growth strategies help people reach their full potential. These methods focus on learning and self-awareness to create positive change.

Importance of Continuous Learning

Continuous learning keeps minds sharp and skills up-to-date. It helps people adapt to new situations and solve problems better. Reading books, taking classes, or learning new skills are great ways to grow.

Overcoming challenges can lead to personal growth. Each obstacle teaches valuable lessons. People can set learning goals to stay motivated.

Joining groups with similar interests supports growth. These connections provide new ideas and inspiration. Online courses offer flexible learning options for busy schedules.

Enhancing Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is key to personal development. It helps people understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions better. Keeping a journal can reveal patterns in behaviour and emotions.

Mindfulness practices like meditation improve self-awareness. They teach how to stay present and notice inner experiences. Regular self-reflection helps track progress and set new goals.

Asking for feedback from others gives new perspectives. This input can show blind spots and areas for improvement. Self-awareness breakthroughs often come from exploring one’s inner world.

Cultivating Mindfulness and Reflection

Mindfulness and self-reflection are key tools for discovering your life purpose. They help you gain clarity and insight into your deepest desires and values.

Benefits of Mindfulness

Mindfulness helps you stay present and aware of your thoughts and feelings. It allows you to observe without judgment, leading to greater self-understanding.

Regular mindfulness practice can reduce stress and anxiety. This mental clarity makes it easier to focus on what truly matters to you.

Mindfulness activities like meditation or deep breathing can boost creativity. They open your mind to new possibilities and perspectives about your life’s direction.

By being mindful, you become more attuned to your inner voice. This heightened awareness can reveal insights about your passions and purpose.

Power of Self-Reflection

Self-reflection involves looking inward to examine your thoughts, feelings, and motivations. It’s a crucial step in uncovering your life’s purpose.

Introspection helps you identify patterns in your behavior and thinking. This awareness can highlight areas of your life that bring the most fulfillment.

Journaling is an effective self-reflection tool. Writing down your thoughts and experiences can reveal hidden aspirations and values.

Regular self-reflection builds self-awareness. This deeper understanding of yourself makes it easier to align your actions with your true purpose.

Self-reflection also helps you learn from past experiences. By analyzing your choices and their outcomes, you can make better decisions for your future.

Navigating Life Experiences

Life experiences shape our paths and reveal our purpose. By examining our past and embracing the present, we gain valuable insights into our true calling.

Learning from the Past

The past serves only as a series of lessons.

Our past experiences hold important lessons. Reflecting on both successes and failures can give us clarity about our values and passions.

Think about times when you felt most alive or proud:

What were you doing?
Who were you with?

It’s also helpful to consider moments of regret. What would you do differently if given the chance? These insights often point to areas of personal growth and untapped potential.

Keep a journal to track your thoughts and feelings about past events.

Look for patterns in your choices and reactions. This can reveal consistent themes that may relate to your life purpose.

Embracing the Present

Daily life offers countless opportunities for self-discovery. Pay attention to activities that energize you and those that drain your energy. Notice when time seems to fly by because you’re so engrossed in a task.

Try new experiences regularly. This helps expand your horizons and may uncover hidden talents or interests. Volunteer for different causes to see what resonates with you.

Practice mindfulness to stay aware of your thoughts and emotions throughout the day. This heightened awareness can lead to important realizations about what truly matters to you.

Be open to feedback from others. Sometimes friends or colleagues see strengths in us that we overlook. Their observations can provide valuable clues about our purpose.

Aligning with Causes and Contributions

Finding causes you care about and contributing to your community can help reveal your life purpose. These activities connect your values to real-world impact and personal fulfillment.

Identifying Causes You Care About

Start by listing issues that stir your emotions. Think about what news stories make you angry or sad. Consider problems you wish you could fix in your town or the world.

Look at your past experiences. What volunteer work did you enjoy? Which charities do you support? These can point to causes close to your heart.

Research organizations working on these issues. Read their missions and see if they resonate with you. Look for ways to get involved, from donating to volunteering.

Pay attention to how you feel when learning about different causes. The ones that energize and inspire you are likely aligned with your purpose.

Contributing to Community and Service

Community service offers hands-on ways to make a difference. Look for local volunteer opportunities that match your interests and skills.

Consider joining a community group or nonprofit board. These roles let you contribute leadership and expertise to causes you care about.

Start small with one-time events like park cleanups or food drives. This lets you try different types of service to see what fits best.

Think about how your job skills could help others. Offer pro bono work or mentoring in your field. This combines your talents with social impact.

Regular service creates lasting change. Commit to ongoing volunteer shifts or long-term projects. This builds relationships and deepens your impact.

Exploring Wellness and Balance

Finding your life purpose often involves looking at your overall well-being and how you balance different aspects of your life. This includes taking care of yourself and finding harmony between work and personal time.

Personal Well-Being

Personal well-being is key to discovering your life purpose.

It means taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep are important for physical health.

Mental health is just as crucial.

Meditation and mindfulness practices can help reduce stress and improve focus.

These practices allow a person to reflect on their values and goals.

Emotional well-being involves understanding and managing feelings.

This can include:

Journaling to process emotions
Talking to friends or a therapist
Engaging in hobbies that bring joy

When a person feels good physically and emotionally, they’re better equipped to explore their passions and purpose.

Creating Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance is essential for overall wellness and finding purpose. It means giving proper attention to both career and personal life. This balance looks different for everyone.

Some tips for better work-life balance include:

Setting clear boundaries between work and personal time
Learning to say no to extra commitments
Making time for hobbies and relaxation

It’s important to regularly assess one’s values and priorities. This helps ensure that time and energy are spent on things that truly matter.

Creating this balance often leads to increased job satisfaction and personal fulfillment. It allows space to explore interests outside of work, which can lead to discovering one’s true calling.

Visualizing and Achieving a Meaningful Life

Finding purpose often involves visualizing your ideal future and taking steps to create a life filled with meaning. These practices can help guide you toward fulfillment and personal growth.

The Power of Visualization

Visualization is a powerful tool for shaping your life’s direction. It involves creating a clear mental image of your desired future. This technique can help you identify your goals and aspirations.

To start a visualization exercise, you should find a quiet space and relax.

Then, you can picture your ideal life in detail:

What does your day look like?
Who are you with?
What are you doing?

Regular practice of visualization can boost motivation and clarity.

It will help you focus on what truly matters to you. This focus can lead to better decision-making and goal-setting.

Living a Life of Meaning

A meaningful life aligns with your values and brings a sense of purpose. It often involves contributing to something larger than oneself. Discovering one’s life purpose is key to living meaningfully.

People can find meaning through:

Helping others
Pursuing passions
Building strong relationships
Personal growth and learning

To create a more meaningful life, you must reflect on your values and strengths. You can then seek ways to use these in your daily life and work.

Small actions can lead to big changes. Even minor shifts in habits or perspective can increase one’s sense of purpose and fulfillment.

27 Quotes by Nelson Mandela guaranteed to inspire you

07/31/2025 by Roy Sutton

As he was one of the most influential people of the 20^th century, I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Nelson Mandela.

The late Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was well-known as a South African anti-apartheid activist, political leader, and philanthropist who served as the president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

He was South Africa’s first Black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.

He achieved his goals through his strength of character, an unshakeable conviction, and a willingness to forgive past wrongs. In his years as president, his approach was that of a forward-looking, consensus-oriented politician working for the greater good.

History will judge the degree to which he was successful, but undoubtedly, he was a man who made a major impact on history.

So, here are 27 quotes by Nelson Mandela that I think are guaranteed to inspire you.

Enjoy them all, and please feel free to pass them on.

Quotes by Nelson Mandela (1-10):

Forget the past.
There is no such thing as part freedom.
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.
I dream of an Africa which is at peace with itself.
Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.
Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.
Only free men can negotiate. A prisoner cannot enter into contracts.
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

Quotes by Nelson Mandela (11-20):

To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.
There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.
As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

Quotes by Nelson Mandela (21-27):

There is no passion to be found in playing small, in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

25 Quotes by Confucius to guide you in life

07/30/2025 by Roy Sutton

Today, I am exploring quotes by Confucius.

Confucius was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher, believed to have been born around 551 BC.

Even though we cannot truly be sure whether he genuinely existed at all, it is as a philosopher that he’s best remembered.

Those words of wisdom, credited to Confucius, continue to enlighten us, and his quotes read like a guide to life.

So today, I offer you 25 quotes by Confucius, which will help shed a little light on this otherwise dark world in which we live.

Read Confucius over and over, and in time you will be enlightened, I am sure.

So take a few moments and let these quotes by Confucius be your guide.

Quotes by Confucius (1-10):

Have no friends who are not your equal.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
Forget injuries, but never forget kindnesses.
Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues.
Respect yourself, and others will respect you.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
Study the past if you are to define the future.
Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Quotes by Confucius (11-20):

Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.
A superior man is modest in speech but exceeds in actions.
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
To know what you know and what you do not know is true knowledge.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

Quotes by Confucius (21-25):

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation, there is sure to be failure.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, and the urge to reach your full potential, are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
It is easy to hate, and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

How to deal with criticism in the workplace

07/27/2025 by Roy Sutton

Today’s theme is how to deal with criticism in the workplace.

Have you ever had a problem dealing with criticism in the workplace, dear reader?

If you have, you’re not alone.

HOW TO DEAL WITH CRITICISM IN THE WORKPLACE

How to deal with criticism in the workplace:

Most of us can be a little sensitive when we’re criticized by other people, particularly in the workplace. That’s natural, and I struggle with it just as much as the next person.

However, over the years, I’ve learned that criticism comes in two types, as follows:

Constructive criticism; and
Destructive criticism

What’s the difference?

People who offer constructive criticism are genuinely trying to help, even if that isn’t immediately obvious.

However, just because they’re trying to help doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right about what they’re saying. I’ll get back to that point shortly.

When you’re subjected to destructive criticism, then someone is just having a go at you. To hurt you, for whatever reason.

That may be to bolster their ego, or they may not like you very much and therefore cannot resist the temptation to belittle you or make you feel generally uncomfortable.

Remember, some people derive pleasure from others’ discomfort and therefore enjoy taking a dig at them when the opportunity arises. These are the haters and the trolls. They exist in the workplace, as well as on social media.

How to deal with constructive criticism:

When you’re on the receiving end of criticism, don’t take any of it personally. Remember, you’re bigger than that.

Just remain calm, listen to what’s being said, consider the person saying it, and, of course, the rationale behind their comment.

As you absorb what has been said to you, ask yourself this question:

“Is this person being constructive or destructive?”

If you feel they’re being constructive in offering their comment, then the next question to ask yourself is, “Do they have a fair point?”

In answering that question, you must be honest with yourself.

Remember, it’s a sign of maturity when you can acknowledge your inexperience and mistakes.

And you can’t learn from your mistakes unless you recognize them first.

So if, after careful reflection, you feel that they do have a fair point, then take it on board and use it as a learning opportunity.

At this point, thank your critic for the feedback and decide how you might use it to improve and be better at what you do.

You might even ask your critic for suggestions if you think they can help you.

Even constructive critics are not always right:

Not every self-appointed critic has a universal monopoly on know-how and common sense, however well-intentioned they may be. Even so-called experts occasionally get things wrong.

So, in reflecting on any constructive criticism offered, your conclusion might be that they don’t have a fair point. And as long as you’re being honest with yourself, it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “You know what? I think they’re wrong.”

If that’s the case, then be polite, thank them for their feedback, and agree to disagree if necessary.

Accept that they offered their comment in good faith and that their intentions were honorable, but move on without any sense of feeling hurt just because someone had the temerity to question your approach.

They’re entitled to their opinion, but you don’t have to accept it.

How to deal with destructive criticism:

If someone is attempting to be destructive in their criticism, then don’t rise to the bait. Just smile politely and move on.

Do not give anyone the satisfaction of a reaction or signs that they’ve gotten to you. That’s the oxygen on which they feed. It’s the dopamine hit they crave.

You’re better than that, so don’t allow yourself to get drawn into their game. They’re unworthy of a reaction or any of your emotional energy.

And never allow such people to chip away at your self-esteem.

That’s what they’re trying to do, so know that, and as you’re smiling, say to yourself, “I’m better than you, and your attempt to have a go at me won’t get you anywhere. So stop wasting your time and mine.“

Conclusion:

Recognize that criticism has two forms. Either way, never take any of it personally, even if you suspect your critic is being personal.

If your critic is being constructive, then be honest with yourself and question whether they have a valid point. If they do have a point, then you must learn from it.

If your critic is being destructive, then do not give them the satisfaction of a reaction. Just smile and move on.

If you’re unsure whether they’re being constructive or destructive, give them the benefit of the doubt, assume they’re being constructive, and act accordingly.

21 Amusing Quotes by David Brent

07/25/2025 by Roy Sutton

If Ricky Gervais’s monologue at the Golden Globes 2020 made you cringe, then take a look at some quotes by his alter ego, David Brent. These are even more memorable.

Who could forget the cringe-worthy David Brent from the original UK version of the situation comedy The Office?

When it first hit our screens The Office was original and very funny.

Here are 21 quotes by David Brent to remind you of just what a clever comic creation he was at the time.

These quotes made me smile, and I hope they make you smile too, dear reader.

21 Quotes by David Brent (1-10):

Accept that some days you’re the pigeon and some days you’re the statue.
A good idea is a good idea forever.
There may be no ‘I’ in team but there’s a ‘ME’ if you look hard enough.
A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else’s?
Avoid employing unlucky people. Throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.
I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some b****** with a torch bringing me more work.
If at first, you don’t succeed, remove all evidence that you ever tried.
If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.
You have to be 100% behind someone before you can stab them in the back.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven’t understood the seriousness of the situation.

21 Quotes by David Brent (11-21):

If you’re gonna be late, then be late and not just 2 minutes, make it an hour and enjoy your breakfast.
Make good use of your cylindrical filing unit, the one you mainly keep under your desk.
Never do today that which will become someone else’s responsibility tomorrow.
Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
Statistics are like a lamp post to a drunken man, more for leaning on than illumination.
What does a squirrel do in the summer? It buries nuts. Why? Cos then in wintertime he’s got something to eat, and he won’t die. So, collecting nuts in the summer is worthwhile work. Every task you do at work think, would a squirrel do that? Think squirrels. Think nuts.
I’m a friend first. Boss second. Probably entertainer third.
If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain. Do you know which philosopher said that? Dolly Parton! And people say she’s just a pair of t***.
David Brent is refreshingly laid back for a man with such responsibility.
On a more positive note, the good news is, I’ve been promoted ……. you’re still thinking about the bad news, aren’t you?
I couldn’t come out and go, I’ve got some bad news and some irrelevant news.

How to turn your yearly income into your monthly income

07/25/2025 by Roy Sutton

Would you like to learn how to turn your yearly income into your monthly income?

Perhaps you are one of those people who feel you should be earning more than you do.

To have enough money to enjoy the lifestyle you’d love?

You’d like a higher income, but you’re unsure how to achieve it.

Perhaps you feel that big money never flows to people like you.

A natural assumption, possibly, but it’s wrong.

With the right approach, you too can have significantly more money than you have now. Yes, you can become truly wealthy.

The question is, where do you begin?

You can start by understanding the Law of Compensation. In the video included here, the self-help guru Bob Proctor explains that income is earned according to the Law of Compensation.

How to turn your yearly income into your monthly income:

The Law of Compensation:

Bob explains that the Law of Compensation states that the amount of money you earn will always be in exact ratio to the following three points, namely:

The NEED for what you do.
Your ABILITY to do it.
The DIFFICULTY there would be in REPLACING YOU.

Now you have no control over points 1 and 3, so you must concentrate on point number 2.

You must constantly hone your skills and become a master of whatever you do.

That said, becoming a master of what you do is only part of the solution.

To earn more, you must decide on your strategy for earning money. In the video, Bob Proctor explains that there are only three strategies for earning money.

The Strategies for Earning Money:

So what are the three income-earning strategies? Bob Proctor describes these as M1, M2, and M3. In more detail, that means:

M1: Trading your time for money:

Essentially, this is paid employment, and it is the way that 96% of people earn an income.

The problem is that, unless you’re a Wall Street banker, you’re unlikely to get rich this way. It probably explains why you’re not rich right now.

M2: Invest Money to Earn Money:

Assuming you’re working for the man as a salaried employee, you can start saving, and gradually, as your savings grow, you can invest your money in stocks, bonds, and property, and over time, your investments will start generating an income of their own.

That’s great, but you need to know what you’re doing. If you have nothing now, it will take some time before you can start generating anything approaching a useful extra income.

Of course, if you have a large sum of money available right now, then this might be a solution; however, for most people, it’s not feasible, which is why only around 3% of people make an income this way.

M3: Multiply your time with multiple sources of income:

Establishing multiple income streams is a great way to start generating substantial income.

Even fewer people make an income this way, around 1%, but that has more to do with the fact that most people fail to recognize its potential.

Now, let me make one thing clear: having multiple income streams does not mean working multiple jobs.

It means having income streams that will earn money for you even while you’re sleeping. And as the legendary investor Warren Buffett once said, “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.“

M3 Income Strategy:

M3 is the income strategy that will help you earn far more than you earn now. Certainly, it will if you do it right.

Bob Proctor offers the example of Network Marketing (also known as Multi-Level Marketing), whereby not only do you sell products, but you also create a network of sellers, which means that when they sell, you receive a portion of the commission generated from those sales.

The best network marketers have made a significant amount of money this way, but it’s not the only solution to generate multiple streams of income.

The internet now offers multiple ways to get rich online.

For instance, you can use Amazon as a marketplace and sell products with fulfilment (delivery to the customer) handled by Amazon.

You can also generate commissions through affiliate marketing with Amazon, as well as other platforms like ClickBank and Commission Junction (CJ). These can be great ways to make money whilst you sleep.

Blogging and Vlogging are also other ways to produce income streams.

There are numerous ways for the ambitious and determined. It’s never been easier for people prepared to put in the effort.

So listen to what Bob Proctor has to say and be inspired to take action now.
