President Donald Trump's tweets are presidential because he's the president, his former spokesperson Katrina Pierson said Monday.
Pierson appeared on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum" and was asked about the president's Twitter habit that has many people up in arms.
"The American people voted for Donald Trump … I've said over and over again, what you see is what you get," Pierson said.
"Donald Trump is Donald Trump. He's not going to change. By the very nature of being president of the United States makes his actions presidential, whether you like it or not."
Trump caught flak for a Sunday morning tweet that showed him beating up someone whose face was replaced with a logo that looked like CNN's.
Mediaite posted a clip of Pierson's remarks.
Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer said Monday Trump is "trolling the press" by repeatedly criticizing it.

Geithner has approved plans for (IMF) to absorb the Fed ???
From dailypaul
There is word on the street that Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner, has approved plans for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to absorb the Federal Reserve System with an eye to the IMF becoming a global central bank. A "basket of currencies" (which includes the Chinese renmenbi/yuan) is to be created to replace the dollar as the international currency of trade. Plans are for "the basket" to become America's new currency.
Is it true? There's no way to confirm the rumor. The same spark that lit the fire under the rumor also suggests it will not be long in coming. If true, I believe it is an act that borderlines Treason. I'm no lawyer, but it seems to this citizen of the United States that my Constitution (which defines government's limitations) says the only authority for currency and coinage in this country is the United States Congress.
We must consider the results of having the IMF absorb the Federal Reserve System as part of a Global Central Bank and loss of the United States Dollar as the international currency of trade (which would put this economy over the edge and America, as a nation, into third world status from which it may never re-emerge). Having the IMF absorb the Federal Reserve System isn't the only solution – and it is a far cry from being the best one!
For years I have told readers that George Herbert Walker Bush's New World Order would be achieved by establishing a world economic system that can be easily morphed into world government. The IMF absorbing the Federal Reserve System is just one step along that path.
We need to pay attention and ensure the IMF stays international and away from America's financial roots.
I decided to share this article because although it's stated it cannot be confirmed as true, I do believe we need to stay on our toes and make sure it doesn't become true!!
With so many distractions of late, I'd hate for this to slip in under the radar.

Why you should avoid overeating
Eating too much food in one sitting is one of the greatest causes for creation of ama, toxins, to build up in the body. Your body has a limit to how hard it can work to digest a meal, just like how your car has a limit to how far it can drive on a tank of gas. When you eat more than your body can digest properly, the excess food ferments in your digestive tract until it is broken down enough to be eliminated. This fermentation can take days to weeks and longer and will disrupt the digestive process for many meals to come. This results in noticeable symptoms, such as sluggishness, gas, bloating, indigestion and heartburn. If untreated, these symptoms will eventually lead to illness and disease.
The simple practice of tuning in to the first burp as a sign to stop eating can reverse this disease process and make you feel much better.
Why is the first burp such an effective sign to stop eating?
The first burp is a signal directly from your own body, saying, "that's enough for now." Being conscious of your first burp allows you to eat the amount food your body can digest so you can feel better and look better.
Burping is a simple movement of air from the stomach. The first burp that comes after you have begun eating is rarely offensive in sound or odor (if it is, that is likely a sign of fermentation, indigestion or a result of drinking carbonated beverages with your meal). Because this first burp is so subtle and we have been taught that all burping is rude, many people have learned to suppress or ignor this important sign and will continue eating long after their stomachs are full.
The first burp as an Ayurvedic tool for healthy weight
Overeating causes weight gain. When you stop eating before or at the first burp, you give your body the right amount of food it can digest. If you are used to eating too much in one sitting you may find that you still feel hungry at the first burp. Honor this message from your body anyway – in a few days to a few weeks you will adjust to eating the right amount of food. And because you are listening to your body, over time, you will lose excess weight that you have accumulated from overeating. This is not a diet, but a healthy way of eating that respects the condition of your body, resulting in steady, healthy weight loss and a more balanced state of being.
What can get in the way of noticing the first burp?
Because few people understand the importance of the first burp, it's very easy to ignore this sign. Here are five common issues that can get in the way of honoring your burp:
A simple way to tune back in to your burp is to take three slow deep breaths before eating and commit to eating in a relaxing environment (leave out television, reading or anything to distract you, especially intense conversations). This gives you the opportunity to eat at a moderate pace, chew until your food is no longer solid and truly appreciate each bite and the nourishment for your body. You may notice the burp the first time you eat in a balanced way or it could take a few meals. Your body will eventually relax and you'll be able to notice this subtle and important signal.
When to ask for help
If you have been attempting to tune in to your first burp unsuccessfully for some time, it may be time for a health consultation. A trusted Ayurvedic practitioner can help you find ways to release emotional and physical barriers that are getting in the way of your natural state of health. Poor digestion is often years in the making and, depending on your state of imbalance, will take time to correct. But rest assured that no matter where you are on your journey to health, you will find balance and freedom in your body by taking the proper steps to reset your digestion.

Have a System for Success
If you have a system for when flipping you are more likely to be successful. Have a system for success. There are never any guarantees for success, but you can mitigate the potential for failure by having a system. I have been thinking about some people I know who have not had a very pleasant experience flipping a house. As I looked at their situations one thing became evident to me. The people who had the most trouble and who were not successful did not have a system.
Think about it. The most successful businesses are system based. McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, other fast food restaurants that are franchises are successful in large part because they have systems. Franchisees are required to follow the system of success. Procedures and business practices are consistent within each business. These systems have been developed over time to breed success.
The same idea is a requirement for a successful flipping business. A system for flipping success gives you a leg up on others who do not have a system and reduces the chances of having a bad experience. To put it bluntly, you are reducing your likelihood of failure. Having a system increases your chances for success and improves the likelihood of having a pleasant experience.
The system for flipping must include everything from the business startup to searching for a house that will be profitable, to hiring contractors, having the required legal documents, knowing what materials to choose and selling the house when it is finished. This list is not all encompassing, but is food for thought if you are considering flipping houses.
So, before you begin to flip a house, be sure all of your ducks are in a row. Know what you are going to do before you do it. Have a system and be successful.
I am known as The Property Coach and I teach my coaching students a system that gives them a good chance of being successful. I can be reached by email at [email protected].

Anatomical hierarchy
General Anatomy > Bones; Skeletal system > Appendicular skeleton > Bones of upper limb > Free part of upper limb > Radius > Groove for extensor muscle tendons
The dorsal surface of lower extremity of radius is convex, affords attachment to the dorsal radiocarpal ligament, and is marked by three grooves (groove for extensor muscle tendons). Enumerated from the lateral side, the first groove is broad, but shallow, and subdivided into two by a slight ridge; the lateral of these two transmits the tendon of the Extensor carpi radialis longus, the medial the tendon of the Extensor carpi radialis brevis. The second is deep but narrow, and bounded laterally by a sharply defined ridge; it is directed obliquely from above downward and lateralward, and transmits the tendon of the Extensor pollicis longus. The third is broad, for the passage of the tendons of the Extensor indicis proprius and Extensor digitorum communis.

Summertime, and the living ain't easy in the heat. Should I run the air conditioner or electric fans?
by Pablo Päster under Energy Efficiency, Environment on Mon 28 Jul 2008
No Comments
Dear Pablo,
It's too damn hot to sleep at night! To cool our bedroom on these summer nights, my husband and I can run either three fans or one air conditioner. Which is better for the environment?
Let me first answer the question and then I will discuss some alternatives. Based on additional information from the reader, I learned that each fan uses 50 watts of 120 volt electricity (150 total), while the air conditioner uses 530 watts of 120 volt electricity. Already we can see that the three fans use 28 percent as much energy. If the three fans are truly comparable in the level of comfort they provide, by all means, use the fans! (more…)

I've finally stopped for the day. No more appointments to keep, meetings to attend, or business to do. I'm reading and watching video about the shooting in an elementary school in Newtown, CT. I had picked up the news during the day, like most people, but the items on my calendar and the travel between them kept me from absorbing. Of course this was partly intentional because I had things that had to be done and listening to the news on the radio was something I frankly didn't think I could handle and still be in any emotional shape for at least two of the afternoon's three appointments.
Now, I've stopped. I read through the news stories on the Internet. I absorb the information: 27 people dead. 20 children. The shooter a son of one of the teachers at the school. The third senseless shooting in a public place in the last week. All things come in threes, even the dark ones. I don't have anything left. No energy, no emotional resources. I'm going through a divorce and my son is still living with his mother 1,800 miles away. Like many parents today, I just want my child. He's 16. I can't reach him on the phone and he's not online. I begin to cry. Not the silent, manly tear down the cheek that our culture prefers when men cry if they cry at all, but racking sobs. The type of crying I imagine the writers of the psalms did while beseeching God to smite their enemies or restore their faith or end their pain. And right now I relate to all of those. I also relate to Advent. Powerfully. Today was an Advent day. Continue reading "How to "Get" Advent"

Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) is a recombinant humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which is amplified in 15–30% of primary breast cancer patients (1,2). Incorporation of trastuzumab to adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer has been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence and to prolong survival (2–5). In metastatic patients, the combination of an anti-HER2 antibody, such as trastuzumab and/or pertuzumab, with a taxane has been established as the standard primary chemotherapy (6). It is thus widely accepted that trastuzumab is a backbone drug for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab is generally well-tolerated, but a proportion of patients develop serious complications, such as cardiac dysfunction and anaphylactic reactions. Although the association of interstitial lung disease (ILD) with trastuzumab has only rarely been reported, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of its serious clinical outcome (7). We herein report our recent experience with 3 breast cancer patients in whom trastuzumab monotherapy was complicated by ILD.
Case reports
Case 1
A 68-year-old female patient, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score of 0, with no history of smoking or lung disease, underwent right breast quadrant resection. Pathological examination revealed invasive ductal carcinoma, scirrhous type, with negative sentinel node biopsy (T1N0M0). The cancer cells were estrogen receptor (ER)+, progesterone receptor (PR)+, and HER2+, with a Ki-67 index of 30%. The patient received 4 courses of 21-day-cycle adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, starting on the 46th postoperative day (POD), followed by triweekly trastuzumab. Anastrozole and radiotherapy to the right mammary area (total dose, 48 Gy) were started on the 185th and 192nd POD, respectively. The patient developed low-grade fever and cough on the 4th day of the 5th course of trastuzumab, corresponding to the day of 24/31 scheduled fraction of radiotherapy. Physical examination revealed coarse crackles on the whole of the right chest and the left upper chest. The laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; 351 IU/l) and C-reactive protein (CRP; 15.3 mg/dl). The serum KL-6 level was within normal limits (247 IU/l). The PaO2 was 62 mmHg at room air (RA). The computed tomography (CT) scan revealed right lung-dominant patchy infiltration with surrounding ground-glass opacity (Fig. 1A). Infectious lung diseases were excluded by sputum cultures, Grocott's methenamine silver staining and polymerase chain reaction analysis of tuberculosis. The blood cultures and circulating galactomannan antigen tests were also negative. The patient was diagnosed with interstitial pneumonitis and was treated with steroid semi-pulse therapy with concurrent administration of meropenem and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. The symptoms subsided within 7 days of the treatment.

Case 2
A 77-year-old female patient, with an ECOG PS score of 1, with no history of smoking or lung disease underwent left modified radical mastectomy. Pathological examination revealed invasive ductal carcinoma, scirrhous type, with negative sentinel node biopsy (T4bN0M0). The cancer cells were ER−, PR− and HER2+, with a Ki-67 index of 60%. The patient received 4 courses of 21-day-cycle adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, starting on the 68th POD, which was followed by trastuzumab monotherapy. After 3 h of the first administration of trastuzumab, the SpO2 fell rapidly to 81% at RA. Physical examination revealed a low-grade fever and right lung-dominant coarse crackles. The laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of serum LDH (552 IU/l), CRP (1.3 mg/dl) and KL-6 (719 IU/l). The PaO2 was 48.8 mmHg at RA. A CT scan revealed diffuse pale ground-glass opacities in the lungs bilaterally (Fig. 1B). Based on the radiological findings, the patient was diagnosed with interstitial pneumonitis and was treated with 30 mg of prednisolone, resulting in normalization of SpO2 within 7 days.
Case 3
A 62-year-old female patient, with an ECOG PS score of 1, with no history of smoking or lung disease, underwent right modified radical mastectomy. The patient had a history of gallbladder cancer, for which she underwent curative surgery 2 years prior to the onset of breast cancer. Pathological examination revealed invasive ductal carcinoma, solid-tubular type, with negative sentinel node biopsy (T2N0M0). The cancer cells were ER−, PR− and HER2+, with a Ki-67 index of 30%. The patient received 4 courses of 21-day-cycle adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel, cyclophosphamide and trastuzumab, starting on the 43rd POD. Although she experienced transient flu-like symptoms after the third course of the chemotherapy, the 4 courses of chemotherapy were completed, followed by trastuzumab monotherapy. On the 6th day of the first course of trastuzumab, a CT scan scheduled for a follow-up of the gallbladder cancer coincidentally revealed multiple patchy consolidations and ill-defined nodules in the lungs bilaterally (Fig. 1C). Physical examination revealed fine crackles bilaterally in the precordial chest, with SpO2 96% at RA. The laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of serum LDH (293 IU/l) and KL-6 (911 IU/l). Bronchoscopic lung biopsy revealed inflamed bronchial mucosa infiltrated by lymphocytes and histiocytes. Infection was excluded by various microbial tests of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens. The patient was diagnosed with drug-induced organizing pneumonia and was treated with 30 mg of prednisolone. The serum levels of KL-6 decreased gradually over 8 months.
Although trastuzumab is indispensable to the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer, physicians scarcely encounter trastuzumab-associated ILD. Previous large-scale trials, namely the B-31 and N9831 trials, which confirmed the efficacy of trastuzumab combined with paclitaxel after completing 4 courses of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, reported that interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary infiltrate was observed in 0.46 and 0.61% of patients, respectively (3). Although those studies suggested that trastuzumab possibly induces ILD when combined with cytotoxic anticancer drugs, the incidence of trastuzumab monotherapy-associated ILD has not been elucidated. In the large-scale phase 3 HERA trial, which verified the efficacy of trastuzumab monotherapy in an adjuvant setting, trastuzumab was administered to 3,105 patients without reports of ILD (2,4). Thus, although trastuzumab monotherapy-associated ILD is a recognized entity, it is a rare complication.
We herein reported the cases of 3 patients with trastuzumab monotherapy-associated ILD. Patient 1 developed ILD following administration of 5 courses of trastuzumab. Since breast radiotherapy was concurrently administered at the onset of ILD, the possibility of radiation pneumonitis cannot be excluded. However, a CT scan revealed a diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) pattern, spreading beyond the irradiated area. Furthermore, the onset of ILD was within 1 month of radiotherapy initiation, which is different from the typical clinical course of radiation pneumonitis. We thus considered trastuzumab to be the most likely cause of ILD in this patient. Patient 2 developed ILD 3 h after the first administration of trastuzumab, which was scheduled 3 weeks after the last cytotoxic chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. Although the clinical symptoms were suggestive of an infusion reaction, the patient was diagnosed with trastuzumab-associated pneumonitis based on the findings of a CT scan, which corresponded well with the hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) pattern. Patient 3 developed ILD after administration of the first course of trastuzumab monotherapy following 4 cycles of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, cyclophosphamide and trastuzumab. Although a scheduled CT scan as follow-up for gallbladder cancer coincidentally revealed ILD, it should be noted that this patient had experienced flu-like symptoms of unknown origin after the third course of the combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, cyclophosphamide and trastuzumab, and the LDH level was elevated 27 days prior to the emergence of ILD. Considering this clinical course, we hypothesized that the pre-existing drug-associated pulmonary inflammation became obvious and manifested as ILD after the initiation of trastuzumab monotherapy.
Thus far, several cases of ILD have been reported in association with combination chemotherapy with trastuzumab and cytotoxic drugs, such as paclitaxel and docetaxel (8,9). Those case reports mostly concluded that paclitaxel or docetaxel, rather than trastuzumab, was responsible for the development of ILD, as ILD is a well-known complication of taxanes. However, according to our literature survey, there have been 4 English-language case reports of trastuzumab monotherapy-associated ILD (10–13). Those cases and the 3 cases presented herein are summarized in Table I. The review of these cases suggests that ILD commonly manifests 3–4 months after trastuzumab treatment initiation. Furthermore, in all but 1 patient, trastuzumab monotherapy was initiated at an adjuvant setting after completing cytotoxic chemotherapy. It may be thus reasonable to hypothesize that the preceding cytotoxic chemotherapy in association with trastuzumab monotherapy may have affected the development of ILD. However, ILD appears to be a true complication of trastuzumab treatment, as at least some of the reported cases clearly suggest that trastuzumab was responsible for the development of ILD. Another important point is that radiological findings and clinical symptoms of trastuzumab-associated ILD appear to be variable. Indeed, our case series exhibited DAD, HP and OP pattern on CT. A previous review of antineoplastic drug-induced ILD estimated the incidence of trastuzumab-induced ILD to be as low as 0.4–0.6% (7). Despite its low incidence, clinicians should bear in mind that trastuzumab may induce ILD, which may manifest with variable non-specific patterns.
Following diagnosis of drug-associated ILD, trastuzumab was discontinued in all 3 patients in the present study and steroid therapy was immediately initiated, resulting in recovery from drug-induced ILD. As shown in Table I, our literature survey suggests that trastuzumab-associated ILD is mostly reversible, resulting in a relatively favorable prognosis. Thus, early withdrawal of trastuzumab and immediate commencement of corticosteroid therapy are considered mandatory for a favorable outcome.

Since i don't want to accept any excuses myself, i just get up and went to play basketball again. Such a rare determination from my lazy ass!!
My playground
When i reach the court there's 1 guy playing basketball, i just ignore him but later he said he want to play with me. So i said fine and waiting for strangers favourite question.. "how old are u?". I don't know why is it important for them to know my age. So i thought i want to lie.. but then as always i just tell the truth :p
He's a college student as i thought so. So we play one on one n have fun laughing at our week skills hehe. Than he told about his passion on basketball, he bought books and even pay class to learn basketball. I was impressed however i can say im better than him except he's way taller than me. He thought me all the basics skills so i just listen and follow him and excel in short time. :)
So we went on playing another 2 on 2 with my nephew and this time i won. Yes my skills is coming back!! Hehe. So one thing i regret, i should ask him to find me if he ever come to play again. At least i have a real person who knows how to play basketball and compete with me!! Seriously he is the only person i ever see playing basketball there. How pitiful it is, normally guys go there to play futsal on basketball court. How irritating it is.
Another interesting day for me.... now i got all this pain attack on arms and legs, dragging my leg as walking. I guess i have to stop playing for few days.
Tomorrow is my registration day.... and i seriously need to find part time work. My bro business will not start as soon as i thought :(. What should I do?

A blog post I wrote a while back talked about the fear of success.
Called Is Success Scarier than Failure?, it outlined why I thought it was real, how it had affected me in the past, and how it continued to do so. And then I heard someone explain why it wasn't real at all.
Their explanation made so much sense that I could only agree. I had to change my mind, to give up an opinion I'd had and made public, and admit I'd been wrong.
I genuinely didn't mind, though. Something else I'd heard and very much agreed with was the term strong opinions loosely held. I'm not exactly sure where I heard it but I'd guess it was from Tim Ferriss on his podcast.
I'll get more into what that means to me later, but I want to give you something else first. I want to republish that old blog post here and then explain why I now think it was a wrong belief to have.
I'll also give some thoughts on why this matters for your creative output.
After this next photo begins the old blog post. I'll let you know when we're back in the present.
Is Success Scarier than Failure?
The idea that success is scarier than failure is not a new one. This post is not introducing a never-been-heard-before concept. But it's something I've been thinking about a lot recently, and that makes me want to explore it further.
I understand for some people failure means not putting food on the table or keeping a roof over their heads. And that probably is scarier than success.
I'm not really talking about that. I'm talking more about creating things. Be it art, a product, a side business, or even a blog like this. Things that only cause change when they work; when failure means nothing changes. That's the crux of the theory.
The reasoning goes along the lines of success bringing:
- change
- expectation
- pressure
- exposure
- criticism
- work
It means your life may take a new direction. It means people will expect more from you, and an increase in pressure on you to deliver.
It means being exposed to a greater audience, which increases the chance of someone criticising what you do. It can also increase your workload to a level you find unmanageable – unless you learn how to say 'no'.
You know how many of these things failure brings? None.
For creatives and side-hustlers – or those who can afford to fail – failure brings comfort. It brings you the right to pat yourself on the back as you sit in your underpants watching Casey Neistat or Steph Curry or whoever else is doing exactly what they (and maybe you) want to do every day.
Because at least you tried. God loves a trier. It's not the winning, it's the taking part. You'll get 'em next time.
Failure gives you license to massage your ego in your safe place while those who get success are the ones being torn apart by people happy to never try.
And which of those is scarier?
My (imagined) success being scarier than failure
The title of this post is a question – Is Success Scarier than Failure?
For me, the answer is 'yes'.
I did some freelance writing a few years ago and had the worst client acquisition system possible. That's not to say I didn't get any clients, but I had an awful way of going about it. More importantly, I felt awful doing it.
It basically involved being a dirty spammer. Using tactics that were outdated even back in 2014 when I was doing it, I was sending a cold introduction email BCC'd to around 200 companies at a time. I don't recommend you do the same. Ever.
The idea of success being scarier than failure came in what I wanted to happen with regards replies – if we take a reply as success.
I kinda didn't want any, because no replies would mean nobody telling me to stop spamming them. I needed work but I'd wake up and hope for an empty inbox if it meant nobody criticising me. I wanted the endeavour – the emails – to fail.
It's ridiculous looking back. I was sending emails I didn't want to send to people who didn't want to receive them and kinda hoping these people wouldn't reply to them.
Seriously, WTF.
After the freelance writing thing, I worked on setting up an eCommerce website. It's now shut down due to it not really working out.
One thing I noticed was the longer I spent trying to make a success of it, the scarier the idea of making sales became. This stemmed from one interaction with one unhappy customer, although we did get the issue sorted very quickly.
In the beginning, I imagined every sale would result in a happy customer. After a while though, the fear a sale would lead to a complaint was almost as strong as the desire to make a sale in the first place, which made making no sales a comfortable place to be.
But hey, at least I tried. I got the store up and running. It was online, it got some traffic, and it made a few sales. It's not my fault if only a couple of people bought anything. There's not much more I could have done anyway – I'm too busy patting myself on the back in my safe place.
This website is similar. What if nobody reads this article? No worries, I guess. At least I wrote it. I did my bit.
And it'll be nice not to be ripped apart in the comments or on Twitter by people who disagree with it…
Faux-psychoanalysis on success being scarier than failure
I'm no more qualified to talk about the idea human attitude, mannerism, experience, and thought is largely influenced by irrational drives that are rooted in the unconscious than anyone else who can go to the psychoanalysis page on wiki and find that very quote.
But I'm going to throw out some ideas about why success might be scarier than failure anyway.
Looking back at my own experience, it reads like a confidence thing. There was another fear at the time of the cold emails. A fear of successfully getting some work, and then doing it poorly.
This was unfounded in any of the clients I did get. Some asked for minor edits, but none told me I'd done a bad job.
They may have thought I had, but they never told me. So there was absolutely no reason for me to fear a successful email reply based on the quality of the work I would do.
On more than one occasion, I took on work I had no idea how to do. Like writing actual sales copy instead of simple SEO articles.
The cliche of jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down was put into practice. And it always worked out. I said 'yes' before googling 'how to' and nobody complained about the work I returned.
But still I was scared of landing work I knew I could do, and do well.
This lack of confidence idea leads to another well-worn term: impostor syndrome.
"Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved."
I'd imagine there's a connection between confidence and impostor syndrome and the idea of success being scarier than failure. But I'd also say there's more to it than that.
Some people genuinely don't care what others think of them. Or are so driven towards success that the idea of it being somehow scary is completely alien. Lucky them.
I'd think they're in the minority. I'd think more people have personal insecurities that could lead to a fear of success than don't.
Issues of not wanting to be judged. Of not wanting to hear criticism. Of not wanting to open up. It's not easy to get over these.
I know. I have them myself.
Fear of success as a self-fulfilling prophecy or not
The first time I heard of the fear of success was a real moment of clarity.
I began to think about why I'm really, really good at starting projects but never finishing them. Perhaps because the failure of not publishing something is more comfortable than the success of it being seen and judged.
I've worked long on things without success. I sometimes think I can see it, but there's always something stopping me from taking the last few steps to get it. Or rather, something stopping me opening up and allowing others to judge whether I deserve it.
I fear one danger for all of us, now we're aware of the theory of the fear of success, is that it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. That it can become a crutch or a ready-made excuse for people to remain in the comfort of failure.
That instead of dissecting and using this understanding of being scared of success as a way to fix our problems, people can use it as justification to keep failing.
Because now someone has told us we are scared of success and it's okay and natural to be that way, and that it's one reason why we fail, it's easier to just accept it and wallow in it than to change.
If you suffer from a fear of success, the other option is to, you know, at least try to do something about it – whatever that means for you.
I can't tell you that you'll definitely get past it though. I can't even tell you if I'll get past it yet.
But taking a breath and hitting Publish is one way I'm trying.
What about you?
The death of the fear of success
Welcome back to the present. ^^That was the blog post. It explored ideas like the following:
- What if my writing business takes off? How will I handle all these clients?
- What if my photography is well-received? How will I make sure my future work lives up to it?
- What if those songs you're working on blow up? Are you good enough to play shows in front of people?
Success is scary because it leads to change. Failure is safe because we can stay in our cave.
I was all invested in the concept until Aubrey Marcus came out with the following on his podcast, which I'll paraphrase and butcher as I'm not going back to find the exact quote:
There is no fear of success. There's just a fear of an even bigger failure further down the line.
I'm not sure how I'd missed such an obvious issue with something I'd spent time writing about. I even touched on it with the following: There was another fear at the time of the cold emails. A fear of successfully getting some work, and then doing it poorly.
Look again at the second question in each of those examples above. They're all concerned with a future failure. That's what this perceived fear of success really is.
That's where this strong opinions loosely held idea comes in. I heard a different opinion on something I truly believed in and it changed my mind. It took no time at all. As quickly as the words were processed my opinion had changed.
Who knows. Maybe in the future, someone else will give me a reason change it back. I'd be fine with that too.
People get pilloried for changing their minds on issues. For having no conviction or for flip-flopping. If it's being done to please others, the criticism is probably justified. However, changing an opinion based on compelling new evidence is personal progress.
Don't be scared to do it.
Overcoming the fear of success
So what does this mean for you if your perceived fear of success is affecting your creative output?
I'm no doctor but if a friend came and asked my advice, I'd suggest thinking of it as I now do. Not as a fear of being successful, but as a fear of a bigger failure in the future.
Exactly how to overcome that I don't know, but a good place to start might be the exercise Tim Ferriss describes in this video.
Fear setting isn't the only way to overcome a fear of failure and it might not be the best way. That's not the point, though.
What is important, if you're finding what you think is a fear of success to be hindering your creativity, is to ask yourself if it really is that or if it's a fear of a future failure.
You stand a much better chance of overcoming this if you know what it actually is.
The other theme here was the strong opinions loosely held statement. Again, ask yourself if that's affecting your output in any way too. Holding on too strongly to an incorrect belief can be keeping you from achieving more. Be open to having your mind changed.
I'll end with this. I think both of the ideas here – the fear of failure and not wanting to change your mind – are firmly rooted in caring too much what other people think. You don't want to fail in front of others and you don't want to somehow seem weak-willed.
If you want to achieve something though, at some point you're going to have to stop caring what anyone else's opinion of you is. How else are you going to get anything worthwhile done?
… p.s. if you've enjoyed this post on whether the fear of success is real or not and think others will too, why not share or pin it?

Good Morning!
I have to admit I love pink, but the fact that everything has been pink the last few days was not really intentional. Yesterday, I had inspiration to use pink. Today, well, Kich is a fairy, and fairies are always better pink, in my opinion, anyway.
This is the card I created to use for the Kich N' Blues second monthly challenge. The challenge was a Thank You Card. Of course, that is where the image came from, as well. I got the image as a result of participating in their first challenge. What a great way to get free digis! Doing something I love to do anyway; plus, I get rewarded.
The card layout is from a sketch challenge over at The Sweetest Thing. They gave us this sketch to use for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 117.
I was very frustrated trying to create scallops since I don't have any of those fancy edge punches. Plus, it was after ten, so I really did not want to turn on my Cricut. Everyone else in my house was sleeping. Gotta craft when you can, right? I have been saying it for months, but I really got to get some of those punches!
Thanks for looking!

NIKKI SIXX On Drug Use By Artists: 'Sobriety Gives You More Energy And More Creativity'
October 24, 2017
MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx, who was once declared clinically dead after overdosing on heroin at the height of the band's fame, has decried the way the government is handling the United States' opioid crisis. During an appearance on the October 23 edition of MSNBC's "The Beat With Ari Melber", Sixx said (see video below): "When I was coming up, so far as I know, there were no pill forms of heroin. If there were, I was never introduced to it — thank God. But a lot of people that are dealing with addiction right now, they're dealing with it on a pain-pill level, and it's being prescribed to them usually for a good reason — for dealing with pain itself. But then when they're overprescribed and insurance companies are lax in following up on who's getting these prescriptions filled and how many prescriptions can be filled at a time. I know CVS recently talked about only releasing one week worth of pain pills at a time so that people can't abuse them and can't also sell them to people who are… You know, they are in high demand, they're very expensive, and when people can't get these pills, they're then going to the street. Then you're dealing with needles and unregulated drugs, and you have a lot of overdoses there as well with the medications being prescribed."
Sixx also addressed the ongoing debate, as it relates to the use of drugs by songwriters and other artists, about whether being under the influence enhances creativity. He said: "I was thinking about 1987 and how I was barely able to get an album done and a tour. And, actually, the tour was canceled — the last part of the tour. And in 2017, I'm able to do a radio show, write books, do photography, be a better husband, a father, and be part of these conversations that are happening. So I really think that sobriety gives you more energy and more creativity."
Sixx recently announced that he was stepping down from his "Sixx Sense" hosting duties to focus on myriad new endeavors in 2018, including his blossoming photography career, television endeavors and the Broadway adaptation of his New York Times bestselling memoir "The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rockstar".
Featuring music from SIXX:A.M.'s "The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack", the first-ever soundtrack tied to a book release, Sixx has teamed up with former Live Nation chairman and "Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark Broadway" producer Michael Cohl to bring this compelling story of addiction and redemption to life on stage.

Everest Base Camp Trek is perhaps the greatest hike that an ordinary person can take on Planet Earth. The distance is 119km, round trip, and will take you between 16 and 20 days. It is imperative that you travel slowly, in order to give yourself time to slowly acclimatise to the tremendous change in altitude. Among all the hikes listed in this guide, Everest Base Camp Trek is the most physically and psychologically challenging; physically, because of the change in altitude; and mentally, because the trek is long and the weather can be extremely cold.
Everest Base Camp Trek takes place in the Khumbu region of Nepal. You will have a chance to become acquainted with the Sherpas in this region. Indeed, the cultural experience is considered to be one of the highlights of the Everest Base Camp Trek, for there is not much wildlife to be observed here. Fortunately, the creation of Sagarmatha National Park is a step in the right direction, toward improving the ecological conditions, and reversing the onslaught of deforestation and soil erosion.
Should you be hardy enough to consider undertaking the adventure of a lifetime, you will begin in Kathmandu. Be prepared for frequent delays along way due to changeable weather; such delays often hamper flights in and out of Lukla. Most travellers will avail themselves of international outfitters who take care of your logistics, provide you with food and accommodations, etc. Alternatively, you may wish to save money by seeking out a Sherpa guide in Kathmandu, who can lead you, carry some of your belongings or arrange for porters. Finally, for the true independent or perhaps extremely budget-conscious adventurer, you can simply hike up Everest Base Camp Trek yourself, eating and staying in lodges along the way.
Everest Base Camp Trek begins in Lukla, passes through Pheriche, Lobuche, Gorak Shep, and then finally ascends to Everest Base Camp. Many people consider Namche Bazaar and Thyangboche to be the cultural highlights of the Everest Base Camp Trek. From Kala Patar (5500m), you will receive perhaps the best view of Everest. At Everest Base Camp, there is actually not much to be seen of Everest, but people come up here nonetheless for the thrill of the hike.
There are certain precautions to be taken: the danger of altitude sickness, gastrointestinal illness from contaminated food or drink purchased along the way, and finally, you might be bumped by an overladen yak and sent careening into the abyss. It happens.
The Everest Base Camp Trek takes place twice a year: either pre-monsoon, April to June, or post-monsoon, September to November. Either time avoids the perils of too much rain or snow.

Elk Grove Township-based UAL Corp. received another blow to union relations after representatives from the International Assn. of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) walked away from the bargaining table Thursday night, saying it will seek a strike vote from members.
UAL, ramp workers in standstill
The two sides had resumed negotiations Tuesday as they try to hammer out a new labor contract for thousands of ramp, customer service, security and food workers. Officials from the IAM say the talks broke down because UAL won't budge from its original offer regarding wages and job security. Instead, UAL wants the union to submit a new proposal.
"The company refused to respond to economic proposals on the table," says an IAM spokesman. "That's unacceptable. It's like asking someone to bargain with themselves."
A spokesman from UAL declined to disclose any details about the offer. He says the company is disappointed negotiations have come to a standstill. "This is certainly going to slow things down."
IAM is asking for wage increases similar to the 22% to 26% hikes won by United Airlines pilots earlier this year. UAL has offered wage increases of 12% to 14%, the IAM spokesman says, but that still falls below pay earned by workers doing similar jobs for other airlines.
It will take about a month to tally member ballots to determine whether the union will strike, but the IAM spokesman says he's confident members will vote for the action. After the vote, the IAM will meet again with the National Mediation Board, which could impose a 30-day cooling-off period before the strike could begin.
UAL isn't expecting any disruptions in United Airlines service in the interim, the spokesman says.
The union and UAL have been negotiating through the National Mediation Board since late 1999. IAM represents more than 8,000 United Airlines employees at O'Hare International Airport and 30,000 nationwide.
In recent months, UAL also has struggled to reach contracts with its flight attendants and mechanics, which have not been resolved.

You know if the kid is allowed to, and I just worry all day or maybe if they have the same sugar of making them upset like they just can't dwell on that, so just to be able to get to recognize their thoughts, and I just did like I use that he's call Tucker the turtle, and so he teaches the kids too kind of stop and think until actually go into a shell and I'll take three deep, breaths and then he'll think of it. I do to make it better, and so it kind of easier way to translate kind of to behavioral therapy, the kids, because you're teaching them to stop and change their thoughts.

The Background
Cigarette in hand, exhaling smoke nonchalantly towards the Walker Cup trophy, Bobby Jones doesn't exactly cut the established image of a supreme sporting athlete.
Jones was of an average height and stature but had a clean-cut, boyish manner and an honesty that endeared him to golfing fans. It is said he didn't like to practise, and on average played just 80 rounds of golf a year.
The Scene
Jones is one of the greatest players in history, and it could be argued that without the giant trophy standing behind him, Jones' indelible record and the crowning glory of his 1930 Grand Slam, comprising the US Open, Open, US Amateur and Amateur Championship, would never have materialised.
In choosing to maintain his gentleman, amateur status, Jones walked a tightrope. Balancing his expenses and earnings so as not to incur the wrath of the USGA.
With the cross-Atlantic transport to an away Walker Cup in May 1930 laid on by the USGA itself, Jones took full advantage of the opportunity and while he was in Britain participated in the Open and British Amateur, both of which he won.
The Moment
Who knows, but without the opportunities afforded him through participation in the Walker Cup, Jones may not have been in the position to design a certain Augusta Country Club, where a new tournament was to be hosted.
1930 was Jones' final year as an amateur and he retired from competitive golf aged just 28, having won 13 majors and five Walker Cups.

They have been operating a men's transitory home in Ballston Spa for the past 22 years.

Freshman guard Jessica Jordan (Chatham, ON) knocked down back-to-back triples to extend the home team's lead to 24-8 after the opening frame. In the second quarter, the Falcons stepped up their defence, holding the Sault to four points in the quarter to take a 39-12 lead going into the locker room.
London native Natalie Warren started the third frame with a nice jumper inside the paint for Fanshawe. Alison Cotton (London, ON) got herself on the scoresheet with a put-back. At the end of the third quarter the score was 58-33 in favour of the Falcons. Mary Ingribelli went 3 for 3 from the floor for 8 points in the final quarter. Maggie Jarvis (London, ON) then added to Fanshawe's lead with a great drive to the basket.

New Dentist, Dr. Sevilla, Joins Little Lake Health Center in Willits
May 2013
Dr. Shamir Sevilla recently joined our Dental Department. He'll be working at both Little Lake and Lakeview Health Centers. He became a dentist because it blended his favorite skills, health science and repairing things.
"I considered medicine, but I really like to use my hands so dentistry seemed like a good choice," he said. He speaks both English and Spanish fluently, and enjoys educating patients about oral health.
When looking for a place to practice, he hoped to find a clinic with a friendly, well-trained staff in a place where he and his wife would enjoy the community. After graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, he worked at a clinic serving Native American patients, and later worked for a couple private dental offices. He preferred the community clinic setting and wanted to be in Northern California, so when he found Mendocino Community Health Clinic, it was a perfect fit.
When he's not "repairing" teeth, he enjoys do-it-yourself home projects, small repairs on cars and outdoor activities.
He is currently accepting new patients . In Willits, call Little Lake Health Center at (707) 456-9600 to schedule an appointment. In Lakeport, call Lakeview Health Center at (707) 263-7725. Patients of all ages are welcome.

Everton news: Toffees players visit sick kids in Alder Hey hospital fresh from Premier League win over Arsenal
Entire squad paid a heartwarming Christmas visit to the children's care facility, handing out a raft of Everton gifts to poorly kids
EVERTON players visited unwell kids in hospital fresh from their Premier League win over Arsenal.
In a heartwarming Christmas visit, the entire squad made the trip to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool today.
Keep up to date with ALL the Everton news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
Ronald Koeman, his coaching staff and players handed out a raft of Everton gifts, including cuddly toys blankets, cushions, colouring sets and footballs.
They passed on their best wishes to patients and their families, some of whom are set to spend the entire festive period on the wards.
The likes of Leighton Baines, Romelu Lukaku and winning goalscorer last night Ashley Williams talked to the awestruck patients, posing for photos.
Koeman said: "It's been really special to be here today, an incredible place and for the players and of the technical staff to come and visit the hospital and the children. It's been a special afternoon.
"It is a difficult time always when children become ill and need to be in the hospital, but especially at this time of year with it being Christmas.
related stories
"To give them a little support on behalf of Everton Football Club at a difficult time for the children and their families, as well as the staff of course too, is the least we can do at this time of year.
"We saw some very small babies with some really tough ailments to overcome but all of the children here are strong and they are receiving some of the best care in the world, right on our doorstep.
"We spoke to parents, too, and some Evertonians who were happy about the result from last
night, but here you experience what life is really all about. This is real life. It gives you perspective of what is really important."
Leighton Baines, an ambassador for the hospital, added: "You speak to some of the parents and they say that the kids have been excited all morning and it's given them a little boost.
"It can be difficult to understand why at times when people are struggling but that's the power of football and the reach it has got. We take time out and if it cheers the kids up then it is worth it."
Last night Everton impressively beat title-chasing Arsenal at a raucous Goodison Park, after a run of just one win in 10 games.
They went 1-0 down to a deflected Alexis Sanchez free-kick after a lacklustre start, but came back thanks to goals from Seamus Coleman and Williams to inflict just a second league defeat of the season on the Gunners.
