When I first came online in 2008 there were so many things I did not understand and there was no one in my circle offline I could ask.  I remember in the very first class I took online the instructor told us we could copy his example and use his page on our own websites. That was wonderful! But how could I get the information from his computer to show up on my website? This is done by a process called File Transfer Protocol (FTP), but I did not know the name, what it is, or how to do it.

It is true that an unhealthy desire for success at any cost has caused many persons to show undesirable qualities such as greed and selfishness. However, to the average person success may mean achieving more to make choices, build your self-worth, or accomplish a goal.
Do you ever find that you talk yourself out of success by indulging in negative self-talk? Do you tell yourself you could never attain those ‘lofty’ goals? Do you set yourself up for failure by listening to the negative voice within?
