Principles For Lifetime

Stop and ask yourself today, "How do I really feel about myself?" Before you answer read these ten principles.
Better yet, keep them before you daily.

--------------------------------------------------------

1. Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.

2. Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

3. Don't compare yourself to anybody else. You're unique, one of a kind, an original. So don't settle for being a copy.

4. Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember, God lives in you!

5. Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.

6. Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser.

7. Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you.

8. Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you. They'll short-change you!

9. Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress....

10. Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you

What is Intellectual

An intellectual (from the adjective meaning "involving thought and reason") is a person who tries to use his or her intelligence and analytical thinking, either in their profession or for the benefit of personal pursuits.

Terminology and basic issues
"Intellectual" can be used to mean, broadly, one of three classifications of human beings:

1. An individual who is deeply involved in abstract erudite ideas and theories.
2. An individual whose profession solely involves the dissemination and/or production of ideas, as opposed to producing products (e.g. a steel worker) or services (e.g. an electrician). For example, lawyers, professors, politicians, and scientists.
3. An individual of notable expertise in culture and the arts, expertise which allows them some cultural authority, which they then use to speak in public on other matters.
