Suppose your tasks were greater than the time allowed
Question
February 13, 2007
Dear Sir/Madame,
I do not know how to thank you for the precious information that I have always found on the website school for champion. I am very grateful for you have been kind enough to always answer my questions satisfactory. Today, I want to know whether one has to be determine even up to the point of death. For example you set a goal but on the way you discovered that the tasks take more than what you thought. If you give up does it means that you are not determine? Or if you do everything you can and see that you can not continue what should you do then since you are too determine? Sir/Madame, also clarified my how to be patient with people if you have been brought up in such a way that you are so disciplined and organised.

Answer
Being determined means that you want to achieve your goal so much that you are not easily discouraged. Some goals may be so large that it may not be possible to achieve them within your lifetime. Others may be so difficult that you do not have the skills or talents to achieve them. With large and difficult goals, it is good to break them into smaller goals that can be achieved. In this way you can make progress toward your outcome.
Although you should be determined to achieve your goal, you also need to be realistic. In some cases it is better to reevaluate and perhaps take a different course of action. That is not giving up. Rather, it is adjusting your sights.
In dealing with other people, you must realize that many are not as skilled as you, as organized as you, or do not work at your speed. Being aware of this and other people will allow you to have more patience with them, so that it will help you achieve your own goals.

Answer
One of the important things to do is to listen to how you talk to yourself. Some people will be very self-critical and saying negative things to themselves such as, "You can't do that." Others may say that it is the devil that is speaking to them.
You should try not to tell yourself negative things that will discourage you. Instead say encouraging things, just as you would to a younger person.
Remember that the difficulties in life opportunities to help you grow and become stronger.
Those ideas should help you gain in confidence and remained optimistic.
Fell and love and lost lover
Question
April 11, 2005
I am a girl of 23yrs old and a single mother. My daughter is 5yrs old now and my lover dissapointed me. Now he is married. I saw this your link and I love it so much that I wish to seek for advice. I now have a male friend who is working in Germany. This guy came to Cameroon and came to our cyber c@fe where I am working. He was interested in me and invited me one day for a drink. I felt inlove with him and also wish to marry him. When he went back, I communicated with him very well through email and phone. He always enquired about my private life and I told him everything. Till now I still feel him in my heart. He suddenly stopped writing to me although I was writing my mails to him and even sending him my pictures. I don't just understand. I also decided to stop writing. When I met him online he will not like to chart with me. Despite all these I still love him. I now decided not to write to him again but today when I saw this your website, I decided to write to him again. I love him so much. Please just a peace of advice from you will make me to be happy.
I will be happy if you reply to me

Answer
There is a saying that it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. Sometimes that happens that two people will meet and get along together and maybe even fall in love. But if one is just passing through and soon leaves to go back to his home country, the situation changes. You both have good memories, but he has his old friends and a different life than what you know. Who knows but someone else may have come into his life where he lives.
It is always sad when that happens, but life must go on. The fact that he has not answered means he may be involved or lost interest. That happens, especially in a long distance romance.
Enjoy the memories, but realize you still can find someone new who you will love even more. And hopefully, it is someone who lives near by. Don't give up over a few lost loves. Keep smiling and being yourself and the right person will come along and sweep you off your feet.
Best wishes in your life.
