• Easy Tips To Have Happy Relationships

    Have you ever dreamed of having a magic to make your love last longer? If there is a magic, love will be all around, no more sorrow. Or maybe it’s just that some people learn secrets of success from their grandparents or other relatives or friends. And since the latter is probably more accurate, here are some tried and true tips from people who have enjoyed long, happy relationships.

    Dates: Keep dating each other. Even if life seems too busy, meet at the end of the evening for something light and easy, like viewing your favorite sitcom (record it if necessary) together or playing a game of Euchre.

    Space: Give each other some space. Either you trust or you don’t. Get on with life, though. People need time alone and time with their mates and other friends. Be sure to give and take your fair share of space.

    Forget: No need to “always” remember the bad things that happened during an argument. Actively “forget” sometimes. Be the first to apologize and make up. Go for it!

    Fun: Couple tends to have fun on dates, then get married and too serious. Lighten up. Head to Yahoo Games (off http://Yahoo.com main site) and join in any number of card or other games. Or head to a local rental shop and rent an Xbox or other game player and some games.

    Disagree: Agree that it’s okay to disagree on some issues, and leave it at that. No need to create a new religion or political movement just to appease both of you. You don’t have to agree on everything. And you won’t. And that’s okay.

    Refresh: Take time to look back, refresh your memories and share what brought you together. Especially when times are difficult, lean back and rely on these old memories as your foundation and glue yourselves back together with them (not literally, of course!)

    Memories: Make some together. Enjoy special moments, special anniversary dates and events. No need to be elaborate. For example, maybe you enjoyed watching a hot air balloon race one spring day. The next year, you might schedule time to watch it again. Make it an annual event. Collect postcards with balloons on the playing cards, toss pillows…over time it becomes a theme.

    Start now with these simple ideas to keep your relationship with your special person longer. Most important of all, couples can happily stay together as they understand and complete each other.

  • Dress for Success Tips for Men

    Are you a male who is looking to dress for success? Dressing for success has a number of benefits. Whether you are interested in dressing for success for an upcoming job interview, an important business meeting, or another important event, you may be unsure as to how you should proceed. If that is the case, you will want to continue reading on, as a few tips that you may find helpful are outlined below for your convenience.

    When it comes to dressing for success, it is advised that you do a little bit of research. Unfortunately, when it comes to this type of research, many men mistakenly believe that they need to start reading fashion magazines. This is something that is an automatic turn off for many men. Although fashion magazines are a great way to learn about the latest in fashions, even workplace fashions, fashion magazines are not your only option. You can use the internet or business magazines or business journals to your advantage. What you will want to do is read any articles that focus on men dressing for success and examine any pictures that you may come across.

    If you are interested in dressing for success for work, it is advised that you first examine your dress code. It is not uncommon, especially in today’s society, for many companies to have rules and restrictions surrounding what can or cannot be worn in the workplace. Although it may seem as if many of these rules and restrictions are designed for women, you are still advised to examine your company’s dress code. Not doing so could result in you unintentionally breaking the rules or violating company policy. It is best if you examine your company’s dress code, which should be outlined in your employee handbook, before you start shopping for dress for success clothes.

    In keeping with dressing for success for work, it is advised that you take a look at those around you. You may want to follow in the footsteps of your coworkers or supervisors. Yes, you may want to take it one step higher and dress for success, not just professionally, but you are advised to proceed with caution. Overkill can do much more harm than good. This is just an important point that you will want to always keep in mind. For instance, a tuxedo may be out of place at an office where tan paints, dress shirts, and ties are worn.

    It is also important that you always keep price in mind, when shopping to dress for success. When dressing for success, it is easy to get carried away. If you are not careful, you could not only spend more money than you need to, but you can also spend more money than you have. If you are interested in shopping locally, you will want to examine your local retailers that focus on formal clothing or career clothing. When doing so, be on the lookout for any sales that may be advertised in your local newspapers or sales that may be advertised in store windows. Should you wish to shop for dress for success clothes online, it is advised that you compare prices before making any purchases. Price comparison can save you a considerable amount of money and it is easy to do online.

    Another tip that can help you dress for success involves using your common sense and your best judgment. These two resources are the most helpful, when it comes to dressing for success. If you are unsure as to whether or not a piece of clothing may give off that dress for success impression, it may be a good idea to examine your other options. Dressing for success involves displaying confidence, not indecision.

    The above mentioned tips are just a few of the many tips that you can use to go about dressing for success. Although a large amount of focus is placed on women dressing for success, men can benefit from it just as much.

  • 4 Rules For New Entrepreneurs – Practical Tips For Starting Right

    It’s a great time to be an entrepreneur—in the last decade, technology has leveled the playing field and propelled an entrepreneurial revolution. As an entrepreneur, you now have more access to information that enables you to make more intelligent choices more quickly. You have an advantage over big businesses in that you’re lighter, more flexible, and faster on your feet. You can target new markets more quickly, and you can turn on a dime.

    Advertisements

    But being a successful entrepreneur requires that you look at the big picture and follow a plan through from beginning to end. Rieva Lesonsky, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine gives some practical guidelines that can help you when beginning your own enterprise:

    1. Don’t Quit Your Day Job.
    Consider starting your business part-time, especially if it’s online, while you’re working and have a steady income. It usually takes six months to a year to get a business going and you don’t want your ability to make your house payment to hinge upon your company being an overnight success. Start with what you can manage, financially and time-wise, and scale up as your business grows.

    2. Find Your Niche.
    The days of general stores are over. Particularly online, consumers are looking for stores that specialize. You have to find a need—something a specific group of people want, but can’t get at the big chain stores—and fill it. Advises Lesonsky, “You can’t compete with the big guys, so you have to find where the big guys aren’t and go into your niches.”

    3. Have an Online Presence.
    Even if you’re not planning to start an online retail business, consider that the internet can still play a valuable role in your company. Having an online presence eliminates the limitations of physical location and broadens your customer base by, literally, millions. It’s also a great tool for promoting yourself and letting people, even in your own area, know that you’re there, and what you’re doing.

    4. Refuse to Quit.
    Successful entrepreneurship requires creativity, energy, and a drive to keep going when you fail. Few people realize that before Bill Gates created the extremely successful Microsoft 3.0, he created a Microsoft 1.0 and 2.0, both of which flopped—but he kept at it. And that determination and refusal to give up is what will separate successful entrepreneurs from unsuccessful ones. Says Lesonsky, “Arm yourself with optimism to get beyond the ‘No’ or the trouble. There’s nothing wrong in failure—just don’t repeat the same mistake!”

  • 7 Steps To Achievable Goals

    How many times have you heard that being successful is all down to setting goals? It may come as no surprise to you to learn there is a lot more to success than just setting your goals.

    Advertisements

    Most of us, at some time, have been told that an essential part, if not the major part, of being successful is setting goals. If that were true many more of us would be successful millionaires, actors, parents…etc. In this blog post, I show you why many people fail to achieve their goals and how to be successful whatever you want or need.

    1) What is a goal?

    A goal is a target achievable in measurable attainable steps. It is more than just a desire or a need and has an existence of its own. A desire or a wish is less tangible and often just fleeting. Who doesn’t desire or wish to win the lottery with all its millions in prize money. Very few would not but, despite the widespread desire, it is not a goal. A goal is a desire, wish or need achievable by actions you can take. It is more than a mere wish or desire.

    2) How to set a goal?

    Setting a goal is a process which starts with an achievable wish, need or desire. First you must decide on the following

    • What do you want?
    • Where do you want to be?
    • Your status, career or qualifications?

    A goal can relate to any desire, wish or need achievable by actions you can take.

    You then break down the goal into small individual steps or actions. Achievable goals are goals where you can influence their realization and measure your progress towards them. Achieving long term life changing goals is a process of achieving, step by step, short and medium term actions.

    3) What actions are required?

    Goals require action on your part. You first need to decide what action is required to achieve the goal. Your first action is always to always write your goals down. Putting pen to paper, and this is one time when a real pen and paper are required, gives your goals an existence of their own.

    Writing a plan is an essential step in achieving your goals – without it you will, over time, amend the long term goal to fit your reality. You will eventually reduce the goal to a wish, and wishes only come true by chance.

    4) Analyse the results

    You then need to analyse, and work out in detail, how you are going to accomplish each individual goal. This means writing a detailed plan of what tangible actions are required to achieve each individual goal.

    These actions then become smaller shorter term goals leading to major longer term goals.

    5) What steps do I need to take today?

    Every day ask yourself “What steps do I need to take today?”. By now it should be all planned in advance so check your plan and make sure you take each step every day. If you discover additional steps are needed add them to the plan.

    6) Review your achievements every week and month

    Every week review your progress for the week. Check what you’ve done and what you may have missed. Adjust your plan for the next week or month.

    Your plan should always take into account what you will do today, tomorrow, this week, next week before the end of the month, in the next 3 months, 6 months…? Always write down your results.

    Advertisements

    7) What if things go wrong?

    If goals were easy to achieve, everyone would be successful millionaires. Goals are difficult because they move you outside your comfort zone to do things differently. To be successful, you have to face your own fear of failure and take risks. There will be setbacks, expect them, they are part of the process.

    If you are not prepared to take action towards your goals, then you are wasting your time. True success comes from the daily actions we all take. Using goals ensures that all the actions you take are moving you in the direction you wish to go. Daily or weekly reviews keep you on track and applying these simple tips will ensure you achieve your goals

  • The Key to Self-Esteem

    Self-esteem, like happiness, is a state of mind. It can make you feel happy, cheerful and confident. It can also make you feel worthless, unwanted and weak. Self-esteem can best be compared to a powerful battery. When the battery is fully charged, the individual feels confident and raring to go; when the battery is run down the individual feels low and wants to hide.

    Advertisements

    Obviously, individuals with low self-esteem cannot be expected to do well in life. They will approach every issue with a lack of confidence even though they may be fully capable of doing a job. That is why self-belief is considered the bedrock of self-esteem. It gives an individual the extra confidence that makes all the difference between an achiever and a failure.

    So how do you inculcate a sense of self-belief in yourself? You will be making a big mistake if you start seeing yourself as the most important man in your field. This cannot be called self-belief or self-esteem. Instead it is conceit, and as everyone knows conceit is a dangerous quality. It generates false confidence, which often becomes a source of woes.

    What you need is healthy self-esteem. This means that you should look at yourself as an individual who is at par with his peer group, who has nothing to feel ashamed of, and who looks at all issues with a positive frame of mind. Healthy self-esteem also means that you are able to differentiate between humility and self-effacement, between arrogance and modesty, between complacency and hyperactivity.

    However, to do so you must learn to accept yourself as any other individual who will have some strengths and some weaknesses, and who will have some good days and some bad days. You must learn to ride out the good with the bad. Most important, you must believe in the clichéd saying that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. It will give you the confidence and self-belief that every individual needs in his bad moments. This is what self-esteem is all about – a self-belief in oneself.

    Those who sit and mope can never feel happy. The same applies to those who blame the fate for their ills. Their energies are consumed by negative emotions. These emotions are like a whirlpool. They suck you deeper and deeper till you lose all semblance of self-respect and self-confidence.

    Advertisements

    Don’t allow mistakes or failures to overwhelm you. Similarly, don’t allow guilt to eat away your happiness. Accept your mistakes. It will make you feel much better. You must always remember that you lose self-esteem when you try to run away from problems and challenges. Such behavior makes you weak. It also causes your self-esteem to dip. In contrast, your self-esteem soars when you overcome a difficult situation.

    Another important thing about self-esteem is the need to look at it as a single entity. Many people derive great happiness from their accomplishments. Their self-esteem rises when they are in the company of people who acknowledge their success. However, the same self-esteem plunges when they are in a family group where they are not accepted with the same degree of warmth. They feel unhappy, and neglected, and avoid mixing with their family members. This is escapism. It will gnaw away an individual’s self-esteem till he becomes lonely and unhappy. It will also impact on his professional work at some point of time or the other.

    To improve your self-esteem, you also need to be fair to yourself. Very often individuals are very harsh on themselves when things go wrong. They plunge into a state of depression, and allow guilt to consume them. It is quite possible that their decision may have brought misfortune upon a family or a company that trusted them. But over-reaction will not change things. All individuals must judge their actions fairly. Self-flagellation is the worst form of defeat. It weakens individuals, and destroys their self-esteem.

  • Picking Up Bad Habits from Others

    You may feel that you have evaded the bad habits that many people have. That is, you feel that way until you catch yourself picking up the bad habits of others around you. The other person may pass on their habits intentionally or not, but they affect you all the same.

    Advertisements

    You can pick up bad habits from others in the way they eat. If you spend enough time around a person, you will often begin to eat the same way. It is just easier to make one meal and split it. It is easier to go to one restaurant instead of stopping at two. If that restaurant happens to have only greasy foods, you will end up eating things you would not otherwise eat. You are picking up your companion’s bad habits.

    Smoking cigarettes is another bad habit you can easily pick up from other people. You sit in the room with your companion evening after evening as they puff away. You gradually either get very sick from it, or you get used to it. You may even come to enjoy it. That is when you are in danger of picking up the bad habit.

    Fighting is a bad habit that many couples get into in a relationship. Your spouse may start a fight. You may have no intention of getting into the argument. You may get up to walk away from it. However, your spouse may not let you go. A fight ensues and pretty soon, you are both in it. This may go on over and over until it becomes a bad habit.

    In the workplace, carelessness seems to be contagious. If one crew member is irresponsible with the heavy equipment, his attitude can contaminate the attitudes of the other workers. Before you know it, they all have bad habits at work.

    Also, if one employee gets in the bad habit of telling everything he knows, the habit can spread. If one tells information about his pay, soon they all will. If one tells private company business, the gossip mill will start churning. The bad habits can get out of control.

    Advertisements

    If you have the bad habit of practicing one-upmanship, you can lead others to pick up the bad habit from you. A person tells something they did, and suddenly you are telling the better thing you did. Some people will fall into the trap of following your lead and trying to one-up you. This can go on ad infinitum.

    Pessimistic people have the bad habit of looking on the negative side of everything. This can rub off on anyone who spends a good deal of time with them. You can only hear about the worst things in life so long before it has an affect on you. You may be next to predict bad times ahead.

    Of course, you cannot blame the other person for your choice. That is all up to you. If you want to avoid the bad habits of others, you can do it if you stay strong. Remember that you do not have to always conform to those around you.

  • A Good Leader Knows The Team’s Colours

    Leadership can be a very challenging task. As leaders, we don’t always get to choose who is on our team. In fact, very often a leader inherits a team, of which most of the members have been there far longer than the leader, and may even know more about the work than the leader. Whatever the situation, one of the responsibilities of a leader is to motivate the team to all work together towards the common goal.

    Advertisements

    This can be a daunting challenge. So often the team is comprised of very diverse members, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and work styles. The team dynamics are also often complicated by internal disagreements and personal conflicts. The leader, not only has work with this group of people, but also needs to achieve the results expected by their superiors.

    Leaders can greatly benefit by being able to identify the types of personality characteristics of team members. By understanding the basic personality types, the leader can use individual strengths of members for the good of the team, as well as assign tasks that individual team member’s naturally excel in. A leader can also learn to communicate in a way that is motivating, by taking into account the needs, values and working preferences of different team members.

    A good leader will see the greatest results by working and utilizing the strengths and working style characteristics of the personalities on the team. By correctly positioning, the individual member strengths and compensating for weaknesses, the leader can bring the team into a productive balance and harmony.

    A brief overview of the different values and working styles of the four main personality types demonstrates the importance of this knowledge being part of the successful leadership toolbox. The four types of personality will be described using the colours Gold, Blue, Green and Orange.

    The strong Gold employee takes work and responsibility very seriously. Gold personalities want to contribute, be part of the team, and to be successful and productive. They respond well to recognition, rewards and incentives. However, Gold team members need well defined responsibilities and structure, firm expectations and timelines as well as being reassured from authority that they are on the right track.

    Advertisements

    The strong Blue personality needs an open, social atmosphere to be able work well. Relationships are very important for them, and they need the freedom to be able to nurture relationships with coworkers, customers and employers. Conflict and intense competition are painful for a strong Blue, but they will thrive in a positive, creative, service orientated atmosphere.

    A strong Green personality is more noted for expertise rather than people skills. They are excellent working with facts, data, research and analytical projects. Greens shine in their ability for designing, understanding complex systems and strategy. Facts are of utmost importance for the Green, but they have a weakness for routine follow through and are somewhat insensitive in social interactions.

    Orange team members are noticeable by their energy, skill and creativity. A key factor for an Orange is the freedom to be able to use their skills and abilities. If there is too much structure, or their boss is very authoritarian, the orange personality feels blocked and does not function well. Orange personalities like people and work well in a spirit of teamwork, competition and camaraderie. They are action orientated, though and become impatient with prolonged talking and detailed administrative tasks.

    Advertisements

    A leader, by knowing the colours of his team, can use this knowledge to blend the team members into a unified, well coordinated picture poised for success. By facilitating each team member to function in their areas of natural strength and motivating them by communicating in a way that inspires harmony and team work, the leader is well on the way to achieving extraordinary results.

  • How to be more successful emotionally

    If you are looking to be more emotionally successful you need to work on a few things. You should think about the way that you are living your life and if you need to change anything. It is important to make sure that you are always looking for better ways to improve your life and be the person that you want to be emotionally and physically.

    Advertisements

    You may need to change the way that you think. Put your mind in a better place and realize what is more important to you. Are you positive about most things? If not, then this can be a very hard thing to overcome and change in your life. You may need to work on being more positive and not using the negative side of things all the time.

    Do not let others get you down? If you are always worried what others say about you then you will never be able to move on and do what you want to. You have to let worries of how others see you go and think about the good things. Do not live your life for others. You are the one that needs to be happy and you should worry about your own emotional happiness. This will come first.

    Get out there and do what you have dreamed about doing. Being emotionally happy means that you are exercising your right to have fun and do what you have always wanted to do. You are the one that should think about what makes you happy and how you want to live your life. Think about the different things that you always wanted to try. If you are able to do these things and get something more out of life you are going to be happier emotionally and physically.

    Live your life to the fullest each day. Do not let anything pass you up. If you have always wanted to try something you need to get out there and work on it. Think about the things that make you feel good about yourself and what you have wanted to try for a long time. If you get out there and use your abilities to make them happen you are going to be much happier and feel good about yourself.

    Advertisements

    Help others feel good too. When you are able to show someone else the ability to live life to the fullest and be who he or she want to be, you are going to feel good about yourself. This will help you realize that you are doing something for the sake of others and this will give you the emotional boost that you are looking for. It is going to be worth the time and the effort for you to take a chance and make someone feel great about whom they are.

    Allow yourself some time to do things that you have always wanted to try. Never be afraid to go out there and do something different. Figure out something that you have never done before and that would make you feel good about who you are inside and out. Living life to the fullest will make you realize that you are not missing an opportunity and that you are getting out there and working hard to fix it all.

    Give yourself something to feel good about each day. List something that you did that was worth your time and made you feel good. You want to make sure that you do something every day that makes you realize that you are successful and exciting. When you do this you will see that your mindset is different and you are feeling successfully emotional wise each day.

  • Be Happy! Happiness is just a Matter of Mind

    Though one could be infinitely happy by just enjoying the nature and family and all the human-made things, there are still millions of people who are unhappy. In the developed countries, there is very fortunate circumstance of having both God-given and man-made things. Still, majority of people there are unhappy. In the developing countries, where for millions there is a real scarcity of even basic needs, people seem to be happy. There are some people who are engaged in difficult tasks and in warfare, and even incarcerated in prisons, and are still happy! We have just discussed the factors of happiness. Millions of people have them, still they are unhappy. There are millions of others who don’t have them, yet they are happy!

    Advertisements

    You would realize that the mere availability and abundance of God given and human-made things is not enough. There is something else which should be right to be happy. Of course, it is our mind that must have right attitude towards and capacity to be happy.

    “The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.”

    Milton, Paradise Lost

    One can give various examples of how mind can influence our body::

    • Pavlov’s dog starts salivating at the sound of the bell without any food in sight.
    • If we are tense we often get headache, backache, and spondylitis, etc.
    • Heart attacks are directly linked to worry and tension.
    • Right mental attitude helps in curing many bodily maladies.
    • By self-talk, motivation, and positive attitude we can become happy and successful.
    • Through hypnosis one can have command over another person’s mind and body.
    • Through meditation one can have a healthy body and extra sensory abilities.

    Mind has extra-ordinary powers and as far as happiness is concerned it has the ultimate power. We should, therefore, have a positive attitude towards life. Instead of concentrating on bad things in life and people, we should concentrate on redeeming features in them. We should not keep on thinking about past failures and bad experiences but be encouraged by our past success and good experiences. Similarly, we should not be unduly anxious about future as our anxiety is not going to have a positive effect, but we should plan and work hard for the future.

    In whatever circumstances you are, you can never have total lack of God-given and man-made happiness. You cannot completely take away nature from somebody; you cannot take away all man-made things from somebody. Even if everything is taken, one’s family and friends are there. One’s precious body is there. And, even if you chain somebody securely in a dungeon, one’s mind is free. One is free to be happy in one’s mind! Mind is difficult to be mastered by oneself, but it is impossible to be vanquished by anybody, any authority, or whatever conditions or situations.

    “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

    Abraham Lincoln
  • Are You Being Lied To?

    Right now, one of the books I am reading is “Get Anyone to do Anything” by David J. Lieberman. This book is filled with many techniques you can use in difficult situations to get other people to do what you need them to do.

    Advertisements

    His methods are based on many years of research into human behavior. He has written a previous book on how to tell when people are lying to you.

    I will just briefly present some of his ideas on how to tell whether or not another person is telling you the truth. This is a problem we all face from time to time, so it is helpful to have a few tips.

    If you think his advice is useful, you may wish to check out more about David J Lieberman’s other books on human behavior. They are fun and easy to read, and contain a lot of practical, useful information.

    You might get the suspicion that the other person is not telling you the truth. Sometimes we feel this suspicion because we are naturally suspicious and have a hard time trusting anybody. But sometimes we are suspicious because we sense that something is wrong, and that the other person is lying to us.

    How can we tell when someone is lying to us about such a matter? Usually, when we try to ask questions of a person who has decided to lie to us, they will continue sticking to their story.

    David Lieberman suggests that sometimes we can flush out a lie by introducing a made up “fact” related to the other person’s story. Make the “fact” you introduce sound like a plausible story. That means, it sounds as if it could have really happened, but it didn’t. Then watch how the other person reacts.

    For example, if the other person says “I was at the Royal Theater for the six o’clock movie” you can say, “I heard on the news there was a big accident outside the Royal Theater just before six.”

    If the person was really there, he will immediately tell you, “No, there wasn’t an accident” and will appear quite calm about it.

    However, if they weren’t really there, they are likely to become flustered and confused, because they don’t know what to say next. They might say something like “Oh, right, well, that certainly was a bad accident.” If they seem to hesitate and act suspiciously, this will confirm to you that they weren’t really there, because they are trying to come up with another made up story.

    I’m not a big fan of this technique because I don’t believe in trying to catch a liar by becoming a liar, but sometimes we feel desperate to know whether or not someone is lying to us about something important, and this kind of technique can at least let us know what kind of situation we are dealing with.

    How to Tell is a Person is Trying to Bluff You

    Bluffing is a word that means someone is pretending to be confident when they are in a difficult situation and they are trying to get away with something. They want desperately to manipulate you into believing they are confident and have a lot of power and advantage when really they don’t.

    They are hoping that if they pretend to be confident, you will be fooled and back away or give in.

    For example, in a game of playing cards, especially when betting is involved, a person who has a terrible handful of cards will often bluff. He will try to act very confident., as if he actually had very good cards in his hand.

    By this show of confidence, he tries to intimidate the other card players into backing down so he can win. So, he will try to look confident and happy as he looks around the table.

    And often, this technique will work, because the other players will believe, “If he is acting so confident, he must have good cards. I should just give up now, before I lose too much.”

    But as David Lieberman points out, if a person truly had a handful of very good cards, he would not be trying to act confident. Why? Because he has no real need to try to make the other players back down.

    A person who truly has a good hand of cards would probably try to act quite neutral so others couldn’t guess that he was happy. Or he might even decide to pretend he is worried and anxious to cover up the fact that his cards are actually very good.

    Advertisements

    A player only needs to put on a show of confidence when his hand is quite poor.

    So very often, a show of confidence is actually a sign that a person is bluffing. Because a person who truly has a powerful advantage doesn’t need to try to act confident.

    All people who are bluffing have one thing in common – they want you to think that they have some powerful advantage so they try to convey this by acting confident.

    Very often, they try too hard. Remember, that when a person is truly confident of their position or their power, they don’t need to try too hard to convince you they are confident.
