"Reliving past trials and tribulations is a drain on your mental resources. Whether an activity itself succeeded or failed, you should make a conscientious effort to learn positive lessons from everything. Don’t allow the outcomes of attempted sales, deals, or employee issues harm your forward momentum or the ability to execute your plan. Your focus should be on getting the targeted outcome from each business situation rather than your emotional responses to difficulties in the process."
- Mike Mann, Make Millions & Make Change! (http://www.makemillions.com/the-book/aspire-to-the-top/be-confident/2/)
At one point my brother had a piece of paper posted in his work cubicle that read, divorce yourself from the outcome. These concepts are extremely important to winning. Winners don't cry about the last penalty no matter how blind the ref. is. Champions don't worry about where they were last year. And successful leaders don't worry about how insignificant they were most of their life.
If you want success, time and confidence are your most important assets. If you allow things that are out of your control effect your confidence and waste hours and hours dwelling on past pains and defeat you will waste time and your talents. Don't do it! It's insidious and will destroy your productivity. Most importantly it will destroy your very self identity. Let it go. Move on. Conquer the future.

Inspirational Quote of the Day 9/8/11 - Powered by Famous Inspirational Quotes for Windows Phone
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo da VinciWhen you are in an interview make sure your answers are simple and straight forward. Simplicity has power. Deliver it calmly and it builds trust and confidence in you. Sure everyone gets nervous, but as you gain more and more experience you should be calm and simple. That is usually the mark of an experienced professional.
After reading this quote, I immediately thought of my current CEO Mike Mann. He is always telling us to keep things "cool and simple." I take that seriously because he has made millions based on his business philosophies and best practices.
The more you think about it though, it makes sense. The way to win over more people is to keep things simple and cool. If you bombard others with too much information they lose direction or just get confused or both. Sell yourself to get the job by approaching the interview cool and simple.
Don't believe me? Just ask the Most Interesting Man in the World...
