THE BALD PATCH
Even though to some people it may seem trivial, I was born with
a bald patch the size of a ten pence piece. As I went through
childhood and especially the teenage years I became more and
more self-conscious and paranoid about it.
It was especially noticeable when it rained or when I went
swimming as my hair would become wet. People at school would
ridicule me and I was forever trying to hide and cover the bald
patch even t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Overcome your communication problem |

Apparently one percent of British people suffer from the speech
impediment called a stutter. In this article I describe how to
beat a stutter and how to achieve fluency.
When I had a stutter, I used to be afraid of certain words
beginning with certain letters. Words which began with "b" were
especially hard to say. I also had problems with d, v, g, and p
words. I would avoid these words and also try to find
alterantive words to say. This word substitution is something
that I regularly did, however I wanted to be able to overcome
this stutter once and for all.
I would see a potential job in the newspaper, my lack of speech
confidence would tell me not to apply for it as the interview

assassination.

A stutter normally starts for people in childhood and is often
referred to as a childhood stutter. This is often very worrying
for parents and the child and it is difficult to know where to
seek help for the person who has the stutter.
There are many types of stutter. Family and friends may not even
be aware that a person they know has a stutter. That is because
the person is able to hide the stutter, by using word avoidance
or word substitution.
Other people are unable to do this and have what they would
consider an openely more severe stutter.
A stutter would normally occur more when a person is:

I always say to my children, as long as you try your best, there
is no such thing as failure. I believe this one hundred percent
and it is a philosophy I am trying to install into my kids.
When I worked in the insurance industry, I used to sit the
insurance examinations. I would always study hard and give it my
all, however there were only three options as results. These
were, distinction, pass or fail. I hate this word fail, in their
eyes I failed twice, but did I though? As already stated, I
could not have tried any harder, therefore how dare they call me
a failure.
This result of fail is also a very negative and some what cruel
mark. The question I would like answered, is did I fail by (read full article) |

Go to the kitchen and get a plastic bag. Place it over your
head, tying the opening snugly around your neck so that no air
can get through. Now, let's count to one hundred. By the count
of 50, let me ask you: How important is that bonus you've been
working overtime to earn. By the count of 60 would you be
fretting about the state of your investments? By 80 no doubt

hadn't finished yet.
