What you know today is not what you will know five years from now. That's a given. What isn't a given is what you will know Wholesale Jonas Valanciunas Jersey , how much you will know and the quality of what you will know. Yet all three - what, how much and the quality - is up to you.

It's interesting that people plan their work (goals, objectives, quarterly reviews), and they plan their children's work (school Wholesale DeMar DeRozan Jersey , basketball practice, scout meeting), but do people pay attention to planning what they will learn beyond what is routine? How they will grow?

Borrowing from my experiences and what I've learned from others, I've come up with seven steps that will have an impact on what I will know five years from now. You can borrow them if you'd like. Remember, being aware is the first step Wholesale Serge Ibaka Jersey , what you do next is up to you.

In looking back on my short and wonderful life, I wish I would have walked the Appalachian Trail when I lived out east. I wish I would have spent more time in Yellowstone when attended school out west. I also wish I would have taken the time to learn more about the cities in which I trained when I was traveling extensively across the US and Canada. Sure, I picked up a lot of great information - history, geography and weather patterns (my piercing headache in Calgary was blamed on the chinook that passed through the day I arrived). I learned a lot, but if I had planned ahead Wholesale Kyle Lowry Jersey , I could have learned and experienced so much more.

I know this because I trained for awhile with a guy from Pittsburgh who always seemed to make the most of a day. For example, after ending our training day in a suburb of San Francisco, he suggested we figure out how to get into San Francisco to have dinner on the bay. What sounded simple enough ended up being an excursion filled with trains, taxis and walking. I was exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel at 2:00 a.m., yet I experienced and learned so much from walking the harbor Wholesale OG Anunoby Jersey , soaking in the atmosphere, the people and the weather. This guy knew how to experience and learn far more than what a work day held for him.

It's never too late to consider the impact I have on what I will know later, and the same is true for you. In taking inventory of my life, I first gave myself kudos for what I've done, what I've learned. Then I did some thinking about what direction I'd like my learning to take. If you chose to do the same Wholesale C.J. Miles Jersey , here are some steps to consider:

an inventory of your life. Enjoy the process. Forgive yourself. Congratulate yourself.

a list of all the things you've been meaning to do. A bike ride across the state is a learning experience, so is studying French.

ider the list for a week.

le the top three or top five things.

e one item from your list. This is important; just choose one! And make sure it is do-able - after all, if you live in the northern part of the country, it's just plain torture to ride a bike across the state during January or February).

s on it. If it requires planning, enjoy the process.

n. Notice I'm not saying "do it"; I'm saying "begin". Just begin. Pick up the book and read a page. Go outside and walk around the block. Go on line and look up the course offerings for Learning to Speak French. Check out the websites for MBA programs. Just begin. . .

I have done this. It works. Here is an easy example of what I've done to be more involved in what I will know in five years.

I used to read quite a lot Wholesale Vince Carter Jersey , but had gotten out of the habit, so after some consideration I circled READ as my first choice to influence what I will know in five years. Then I went to the Library. I walked around and around the stacks - I didn't know where to start. I ended up choosing two books - a novel for fun and a book on leadership. I brought the books home and decided, since I'm a morning person, to read the leadership book in the morning and the novel at night. Mornings were no problem - I fell into my old habit immediately and now look forward to starting my day by reading for a half hour. Evenings were more of a problem. I actually circled the book - I knew it would be good, I knew I would enjoy it Wholesale Tracy Mcgrady Jersey , but I just couldn't pick it up! Finally, on the third evening I picked it up, sat down and read two pages. I didn't like it and I put it down. Next evening I did the same thing. I made myself read long enough to allow the book to pull me in. That's it! I'm back. I'm reading again. So, the process works. Try it.

I wonder what I'll do next. . .

When you feel self-conscious it means you are putting too much
attention on your self, too much focus on what you are doing and
how you are doing it. And this is a formula for poor performance.

The secret then to dealing with this problem is to become other
conscious.

If all you do is shift your focus from self to others you will
communicate better, perform better and become a far better
listener.

Another positive consequence is that other people will enjoy
spending time with you because it is so obvious you give them
your complete attention.

Your goal is to become so fascinated by other people that your
focus is on what they say, how they say it and why they say it.

6 Tips for Becoming Other Conscious:

1 Pay attention to the way people breathe, watch closely and
observe the relationship between breathing and speaking.

2 Listen not just to what people say but the way they say it. Pay
very close attention to speech patterns Cheap James Johnson Jersey , changes in tempo,
volume and tone.

3 Ask thoughtful question.
