Got this from some website... wala lang... :)
We all have a negative voice in our heads who stops us from taking risks. I'd like to review a few risk taking techniques that I use regularly to get great results. Try 'em and see how you do. I think you'll be pleased with what you accomplish:
DON'T THINK TOO MUCH BEFORE TAKING A RISK. The easiest way to get into a cold swimming pool is to jump right in. The same can be said for taking risks. Hesitating will only psyche you out.
WHEN YOU JUMP, JUMP BIG. Don't hold back. Fully commit yourself.
IF YOU DON'T A-S-K, you won't G-E-T. Come right out and ask for what you want. People will appreciate you being straight with them.
EMBRACE FAILURE AND REJECTION: Think of failure as an opportunity to learn. If things don't work out, figure out why. Then make some changes and try again.
BE A JUDGE, NOT A SUSPECT. Don't worry about what others think. Instead, you should be the one who does thinking. (This doesn't mean be judgmental. It just means believing that your opinion and way of doing things is as good as anyone else's.)
FOCUS LESS ON YOUR IMAGE AND MORE ON WHAT YOU WANT. Do what you must to
succeed without concern for your reputation or appearance.
FOCUS ON FACTS, NOT ON FEELINGS. Don't let insecurity lead to incorrect assumptions about yourself. Examine your situation and wait for tangible facts before determining whether or not there's a problem.
PRACTICE TAKING RISKS. It does get easier.
ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOSE. Most of the time it's about ego and less about any real loss.
GO FIRST. Have the courage to something before waiting to see if others are willing.
TAKE RESPONSIBLE RISKS: Never risk your physical safety or the safety of others. Always pursue healthy goals.
Make these practices part of your lifestyle and I will guarantee that you will be a more powerful leader and more fulfilled human being.

Sunny Came Home
by Shawn Colvin
Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission
She says days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
Sunny came home with a list of names
She didn't believe in transcendence
It's time for a few small repairs she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance
She says days go by I don't know why
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it
Days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
Light the sky and hold on tight
The world is burning down
She's out there on her own and she's alright
Sunny came home
Sunny came home...

Unexpected Love
One song I particularly love the most is "No Other Love" by Heart. I swear, the song gave me goosebumps...and to think the lyrics is so simple. I guess it's the way the song was sang... it's something you just don't listen to... it's something you have to feel aswell.
I might borrow her copy of the series anytime soon.
