“People learn to be hostile,disparaging and manipulative because it works for them.these people expect you to react in certain ways to their style,because in that way they win.if you allow yourself to be sucked into their expectations,you have not only let them get away but you are bound to feel frustrated,helpless and eventuall your bad side of nature will reached its climax.”
Windy dryden, How to Cope When the Going Gets Tough

“Per fronteggiare la procrastinazione basata sulla paura del fallimento [...]:
1. Contestate la pretesa rigida di non dover fallire [...]; sviluppate e rafforzate l'alternativa sana: che certamente è meglio avere successo, ma non esiste una legge che vi esenti dal fallire. Mostrate a voi stessi che è meglio rischiare di fallire piuttosto che averne la certezza non svolgendo il lavoro del tutto.
2. Dimostrate ripetutamente a voi stessi che il vostro valore personale non si basa sulle vostre prestazioni. Così, se fallite o eseguite il lavoro inadeguatamente, ricordate a voi stessi che è un peccato che abbiate fatto in questo modo, ma che questo non significa, ripetetevelo, non significa che siete dei falliti. Vuol dire, piuttosto, che siete esseri umani fallibili [...].
4. Contestate l'idea di dover essere sicuri del successo prima di cominciare. Non esiste tale certezza, e pretenderla porterà a un solo risultato: la procrastinazione. [...]
5. Quando iniziate un lavoro, imparate a concentrarvi su cosa state facendo piuttosto che su come lo state facendo. Il primo atteggiamento vi aiuterà a continuare a lavorare, mentre il secondo non farebbe altro che rafforzare la paura del fallimento [...].”
