All of life’s experiences are teachers in some sense, challenging us to grow and evolve. Although the Persecutor certainly provokes a reaction, the Challenger elicits a response by encouraging the Creator to acquire new knowledge, skill, or insight. Both roles provoke change, but in different ways.

Genuine confidence is a way of thinking about yourself and your abilities. Confidence is your perception of your own potential; it’s a kind of long-term thinking that powers you through the obstacles and tough times, helping you solve problems and putting you in the way of success. Your confidence is quite a separate matter from your social skills.

Just imagine you're four years old, and someone makes the following proposal: If you'll wait until after he runs an errand, you can have two marshmallows for a treat. If you can't wait until then, you can have only one--but you can have it right now. It is a challenge sure to try the soul of any four-year-old, a microcosm of the eternal battle between impulse and restraint, id and ego, desire and self-control, gratification and delay... There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse. It is the root of all emotional self-control, since all emotions, by their very nature, led to one or another impulse to act.

“Love it, love it, love it. For a person like me, the "concentrated wisdom" element is a terrific thing, since it gives me lots of options: buy the book, teach the concepts, enrich my conversations, or simply re-energize my thinking. I also like the way you write about what can be somewhat "heavy" subjects to most people. You lighten it up, but stay out of the way of it at the same time. It’s such a gift—I can see your site quickly becoming Inspiration Central for us all.”

“I would like to thank you for creating Philosophers Notes! I get so much inspiration, grounding, peace, hope and awesome life reminders from them. For my "day job" I am a sales rep and spend hours in the car. Now that I have the Notes to listen to, I actually look forward to hopping into my car and sitting in traffic! OK - maybe that's a small stretch, but I really do immensely enjoy the Notes. I felt like a Philosopers Notes pusher the first few weeks I starting listening. I had to tell everyone I ran into how great they are. I hope you are encountering much success and fulfillment on your current journey! With much gratitude - ”
