Maybe I'll eliminate the word "problem" from my vocabulary too. I'll have to think about that one, and maybe I'll write another article if I agree with you. Thanks for coming by! @ Doug I like your attitude. A person who "fails" often should be highly intelligent, ambitious, and wise. However, when you use the word "fails", it makes that person out to be the exact opposite. Thanks for the input. @ Luke This is a nice discussion, isn't it? Sometimes, you just happen upon an idea that really connects with people. That doesn't mean that my less articles are failures though, which is something that I've thought before. It just means that I'm learning what topics resonate with people and which ones don't. Thanks for coming by! @ Sire I can agree with your logic. It is a lot easier to proclaim yourself a failure than it is to take responsibility for yourself, and to learn and grow as a person. Thanks! @ trina I am stoked that Mark and I have inspired you to write an article, and I truly hope that the message gets out. It definitely is contagious to be negative, and being positive around some people makes them very uncomfortable, because they aren't ready to release themselves from their self imposed shackles of pessimism. @ Oscar

It inspired my post today on edsezine.com. I encourage my readers to read this too. Too often it's uncool to be positive - it's more acceptable to moan & groan about everything and we don't realize how self-detrimental it is. We need to give ourselves some good feedback like we would give a friend. Excellent and thank you! This is a super read. It inspired my post today on edsezine.com.

I'm not completely sure that I used the word "problem" but I agree with you. Life is a series of challenges. Any time something pops up that you weren't expecting, ask yourself if you honestly thought that there wouldn't be any challenges. Sometimes, a challenge tests a part of us that we weren't expecting to have challenged, whether it be our patience, our skills, or our endurance. However, when you keep a healthy outlook on challenges, you can overcome just about any of them! @ Holly

I would also replace 'problem' with 'challenge'. Solving a challenge is more fascinating for me than solving a problem :) .-= Oscar - freestyle mind´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FreestyleMind/~3/xyuHTQ-dmJo/" rel="nofollow">How to Build a Successful Project</a> =-.
