I don't pay attention to the opinion's of family and friends. I take the view that if someone does not pay my bills, then they do not get a say in what I do. However, I am still vulnerable to the opinions of Doctors, lawyers etc. Anyone who is an educated expert in their field. I have a tendency to think that they will know best. Thankfully, after reading the story of Napoleon Hill and his son, I will be working hard on changing this. Hi Sean,

I guess that is why you are also here reading Sean's great insights. It can seem hard and I too have a husband that works long hours. (My plan it to have him change that and understand that working hard does not create wealth - working smart does). Following Louise's techniques means that you have less work in the longer term, in terms of behaviour, and like everything, changing habits can take time and action but the results are worth it. Sorry Sean, don't mean to steal your post here...I think it still ties in. :-) Regards, Eileen. "Pursue your goals with certainty" Hi Brenda,

But I have to admit it is very hard to stay positve after a long day with the kids when hubby is doing a 12 hour shift. but it is bit like goalsetting, you have to educate yourself and mingle with other likeminded people to achieve your goal. do something about it, live in the present and inspire yourself!

To elaborate further, we are taught to raise children to look for extrinsic reward. Of course there is always an opposite and you can well guess that the opposite to reward is punishment. You cannot have one without the other. Most of us raise our children with "good boy / girl" and label our children..."you are a bad boy / girl" "you are naughty" "you are good" and so it goes on. We also say things such as "you are a good girl for dancing so well". "You are a fantastic son for kicking that many goals in footy". All these sorts of comments lead to a child looking for outside recognition rather than being happy with their own best effort. There are things we can do and say to change this and it means breaking those habits we were raised with so that our children can develop high EQs and a healthy self-esteem. An approach we follow in our house is by Dr Louise Porter who is a highly sought after Australian speaker and writer of numerous books (one being "Children are people too" with a corresponding DVD for those who prefer to watch rather than read. If we want society to change then we need to start by how we treat our children. By changing our parenting style we will inevitably raise more well adjusted children who ARE tomorrow's adults. Those adults then have a greater chance at success because they believe in themselves and their own abilities without needing someone's opinion of them based on their efforts. Yes, there are some of us that will ignore what other people think but the majority do not. I know this was a long post but I felt it a necessary one given Sean's topic here . Success comes in many forms and parenting can be one of them with your children as your references. :-) Happy New Year. Make it a memorable one. Regards, Eileen. "pursue your goals with certainty".
