I had absolutely NO idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. In fact, I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I was in my twenties! I have a friend, Nik Halik, who I heard on the radio this morning talking about how he knew what he wanted to be when […]
Self Improvement
Self confidence or Self esteem?
What is the difference between self confidence and self esteem? I thought I’d talk about the difference here, and also about how they relate so closely to each other, hence the fact that both are mentioned throughout this website.

Have you ever been involved in an abusive relationship?
There are more people out there who are or who have been involved in an abusive relationship than we realise, as this poll will probably reveal…

Yes, I had the interview and as usual I walked out thinking of all of the things I should have said but didn’t! Don’t you hate that? Another thing I did is write (in code) that I had the job already, and stuck it to my computer monitor, so I could see it every day. […]
