Costly Mistakes
When negotiating with multiple
companies, be careful when and
if you “name drop”. Many hiring
managers know other managers
as well as other individuals in
your position.
An innocent
“name drop” could come back to
bite you. I have seen it cost
individuals thousands of dollars.
Manager “A” now knows you are
meeting with manager “B”
because you dropped a name.
Manager “A” may know what
manager “B” can offer in the way
of compensation and upfront
bonus. Of course, this does not
help you get a larger offer in
many cases, instead just the
opposite. I would suggest you
keep your contacts to yourself
while interviewing, unless you
are very confidant in the likely
outcome.

Inspiration For Self Efficacy Development
From Famous Figures
For those wanting to achieve beyond the normal boundaries of an ordinary existence
and reach what it is you deem supreme success in life, it will take high development in
the area of self efficacy. Whether you are looking to become a millionaire or just want
to live simple but without financial worries, your ability to achieve this will depend
greatly on your own self efficacy.
There is no shortage of people, in history as well as present day, who have achieved
what society and science has deemed "impossible". They achieved this because they
pushed beyond the limits of established norms.
Read on for some great stories and quotes from some famous figures to help you aspire
to develop self-efficacy.
Rocket scientist Werner von Braun said, "I have learned to use the word 'impossible'
with the greatest caution."
Teilhard de Chardin said "It is our duty as human beings to proceed as though the
limits of our capabilities do not exist." De Chardin was a French Jesuit who attempted to
integrate science and religion, and coined the phrase the "Omega Point" in which the
convergence of systems and self-conscious awakening would lead to peace and unity.
While he had not succeeded in fully reconciling religion and science, his vision of a one
Earth is coming together in the form of the global community.
"We know what we are, but know not what we may be." William Shakespeare said
this. While he is well known as an Early Renaissance writer, playwright and poet, he is
considered the greatest writer in the English language. However, Shakespeare did not
begin life with a silver spoon in his mouth. He made his own way and by some
accounts, led a vagabond life in the years before he came to London.
Aristotle stated, "Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable
possibilities." One of the most influential Greek philosophers, Aristotle concerned
himself with diverse subjects, writing on metaphysics, poetry, biology, logic
government, ethics, physics and many other disciplines. He, together with Socrates and
Plato, contributed to the development of Western philosophy, as it is known today.
Being a man of diverse interest, Aristotle discovered that anything is possible under the
sun, and beyond.
Samuel Johnson also believed that "The future belongs to those who see possibilities
before they become obvious." The English poet and essayist embodied in this statement
the truth that is so obvious to many now, as evidenced by innovations like computers
and automobiles. It is still difficult for most people, however, to think "outside the box"
with all this evidentiary situations surrounding them and persist in believing that if it can
be done, someone else has already done it. Few believe that someone could be himself.
The great General Napoleon Bonaparte declared, "Impossible is a word to be found
only in the dictionary of fools." He embodied this in himself when this Corsican
managed to make himself emperor of the notoriously elitist French and brought most of
Europe to its knees by thinking outside the military box, using innovative tactics to
achieve major victories in the battlefield. His "Napoleonic Code" has also given him a
place in perpetuity, as it is the basis for the present French bureaucracy.
Martial arts legend and founder of the martial arts style Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee said
"When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible." He had
suffered a major back injury which should have made him wheelchair bound for the rest
of his life, but his self-efficacy enabled him to beat the odds and come back to the
martial arts arena as well as to carve a movie career for himself before he succumbed
to heart failure at the age of 33. He also revolutionized the art of self-defense by going
beyond traditions.
These are just a few of the people who have stated out loud their convictions about
what constitutes human capabilities. There are many more that have focused as well on
the concept of what is impossible and have proven historically that nothing is.
Never let yourself believe that you cannot achieve whatever it is you want out of life. Many will
be against you and try to throw you off your path. But belief in yourself and an unrelenting
ability to get things done will be your best weapon in enabling you to reach your goals.
Aim High and Stay Focused!
