如何東山再起/鳥人
他曾經是大銀幕上威風的超級英雄；但歲月不饒人，如今年華老去、頂上稀疏。受限於昔日紅極一時的銀幕形象，人人只視他為被時代淘汰的過氣演員，不再認真看待他的任何嶄新嘗試。

iconic superhero, battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his

Ways To Bounce Back From ‘Failure’ In Your Career (Dan
Miller)
Can you ‘bounce back’ from a failure in
your career?
Here is what I’ve observed. To come back
from “failure,” a person must have:
1. Supportive Relationships
Without others who believe in us we begin
to question our value and worth. If family and those closest to you find fault
and criticize, find those who will encourage and cheer you on.
2. Uncompromising Integrity
Nothing destroys our credibility and opportunities
more quickly than breaches of integrity. Once begun, lies, distortions and
exaggerations tend to feed on themselves and require more of the same in an
attempt to maintain the status quo.
3. Clear Purpose
Without a clear vision for the future we
become wandering generalities. Be able to convey with confidence your strongest
areas of competence. No one is attracted to someone who just “wants a job.”
Know your unique value to an organization.
4. Vibrant Health
It’s tempting in times of feeling like a
failure to allow ourselves pity parties and comfort food, thus deteriorating
another area of our lives. Use times of rebuilding to make massive deposits of
success in your health. With the guy above who lost $3.2 million I prescribed
that he go to the gym every morning for two hours. The physical stamina and
creative energy birthed there allowed him to very quickly bounce back with
career success.
5. Optimistic Faith
Believing that we are part of a bigger plan
and that there is a brighter future up ahead is critical to coming back from
any failure.

Things We Mistake for Happiness and How to Correct Them
by Kin Mabuan
A job you don’t like doing.
Sure, paying the bills and keeping a healthy savings account are valid reasons for why you should get a job, but it’s equally important that what you do for a living makes you happy. It’s simple: happiness at work makes you more productive, makes your coworkers and clients like you, and it helps you get closer to success.
Sometimes, however, the same job that you gave an arm and leg to snag becomes the thing you dread doing the next day. To be fair, it’s perfectly normal to grumble a bit about having to work over time all of a sudden, or being given a last-minute deadline on a Friday night, but if you can’t get through the day without whining about your job and still claim that you love it, it’s time to rethink your reasons for why you’re staying in that company.
Watching too much television.
Television has gotten a lot of flak thanks to programs that capitalize on our insatiable need to be validated at all costs. To be fair, there a lot of good programs out there, ones that will rehydrate your interest in the arts and in science, or teach you how to cook a mean slab of rib eye.
There are times, however, when we mindlessly flip through channels and indulge ourselves by watching shows without giving what we see and hear much thought. We rely a bit too much on shows to explain everything for us and take this as the ultimate truth.
An obsession with perfection.
One of the funny things about pursuing perfection is that no matter how many times we are told that nobody and nothing is perfect (except maybe Emma Watson), it doesn’t stop us from wanting to achieve it. This is a good trait to a degree, but if our fixation on wanting everything to be perfect gets in the way of actually accomp
Sense of humor is one of the few things thalishing things, then we won’t really achieve anything.
Having too many friends on social media.
Never has making friends and staying connected been easier until social media happened, but you got to admit that it’s not always the best way. It can be quite flattering to have a lot of followers in your social network until all you see on your dashboard is crazy narcissistic behavior put on display.
Of course, social media isn’t bad per se. On the other hand, it can be an easy source of angst, frustration even. A lot of people have picked up the habit of posting everything that goes on with their life, and while it can be harmless to find out what your friend had for lunch two hours ago, not everyone is in the mood for fifty versions of a single selfie all the time. There are many other ways social media can drive people into their wits’ end, but the point is you don’t have to bear with them.
Making fun of other peoplet will never go out of style, and it’s amazing to be funny and to have friends who can crack you up. Sometimes though, we become too comfortable with our funniness. We barely
notice that we cross certain lines. The thing is we don’t realize this until someone calls it out or when we start losing friends one by one.
