Personal Branding Pledge for 2013

This year my destination is a matter of manifestation

I become a GPS for achievement and success

I finally reveal the true nature I possess

I am

Mighty like an ox

Smart like a fox

Majestically truculent and brave as a lion

Crushingly seductive and poised like a python

All the inner beasts that lie under my skin

All the power that is coiled and covered within

The life I have been leading

They are about to emerge and reveal my true talents

With a surge of genius and a punch of courage

So flat line discouraging, disparaging words

Quit carping and harping on my substance or style

I am about to put the distance between us at a mile

Unless you acknowledge what I am about to become

I am

The one I can rely on

The one who succeeds

Even if no one else sees, believes or conceives

The magnitude of what I am about to achieve

Watch me this year while the clock tick-tocks off time

I prove for certain this year is

Mine, mine, mine

We tend to read children’s screen time as a discipline problem, but a Family Relations study of 822 U.S. caregivers found it sat closer to the parent’s own stress than to the child’s behaviour.

People who let their mind slide during the quiet stretch of a task and snap back just before it gets hard may not be undisciplined, a preregistered clock-task study suggests they may be strategically modulating their attention.

People who remember the order of a day but not its details aren’t losing their memory, they’re showing what sleep tends to keep: roughly 53 adults in a Baycrest art tour held onto sequence, not surfaces.

Vocabulary tests are among the subtests most closely tied to IQ scores on standard batteries, not because a large vocabulary sharpens thinking in the moment, but because vocabulary size reflects the sustained reading and learning that verbal-intelligence measures are designed to pick up
