Napoleon’s Key to Victory
By: Brian TracyThe only real measure of business leadership is results. This requires the ability to act boldly with no guarantees of success. The greatest obstacle to overcome is fear of the unknown. 

Think About the Possibilities

Confidence comes from the constructive use of pessimism, thinking about what could go wrong long before it does. Action Exercises

Keeping Yourself Positive
by: Brian Tracy

The most important thing you do for your success is to take control of the suggestive elements in your environment. Be sure that what you are seeing and listening to is consistent with the goals you want to achieve.

Take Courses In Your Field 
Attend seminars given by experts in your field. Take additional courses and learn everything you possibly can. Learn from the experts. Ask them questions, write them letters, read their books, read their articles and listen to people with proven track records in the area in which you want to be successful.

Get Around The Right People
Associate only with positive, success-oriented people. Get around winners. As we say, fly with the eagles. You can’t fly with the eagles if you keep scratching with the turkeys. Get away from the go-nowhere types and above all, get away from negative people. Get away from negative coworkers. If you’ve got a negative boss, seriously consider changing jobs. Associating on a regular basis with negative people is enough in itself to condemn you to a life of underachievement, frustration and failure. Associate only with positive people. Get around winners.

Second, resolve to associate with positive, optimistic people most of the time. Get around winners and get away from negative people who criticize, condemn and complain. This can change your life as much as any other factor.

Premature Judgment in the Case Against Vitamins
- Don’t stop taking your supplements just yet!

A recent Wall Street Journal article blasting the benefits and safety of vitamins is just one volley in a recent barrage of media reports questioning the benefits of vitamins and supplements.  How are we supposed to react to all of these findings?  Can we get an answer to the simple question: Do vitamins and supplements work or not?

The answer to that question is anything but simple.  The WSJ article dismisses a vast body of scientific study on the benefits of supplements.  Far from being dangerous, the lack of any of the vitamins mentioned in the article would cause severe disease and ultimately death.  Aside from the pure deficiency diseases, studies are demonstrating the involvement of these vitamins in widely varied physical functions, such as the prevention of neural tube birth defects by folic acid and the use of niacin (vitamin B3) to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  

As consumers, we are accustomed to being presented with black and white results; the product either works or it doesn’t.  For years people relied on a paternalistic FDA or perhaps a family physician to evaluate the conflicting and contradictory reports in the scientific literature and come to a conclusion based on imperfect data.  Within the last generation, this has been changing.  Consumers are more informed and much more involved in their own health decisions.  This recent phenomenon requires that we, as consumers, take over the process of evaluating the complexities and relative merits of various bits of scientific evidence.  Unfortunately, the average consumer is not really prepared for this task. 

The media has been quick to step in to the void.  Unfortunately, journalism needs “news” to report and the lengthy, drawn-out process of thoughtfully accumulating and evaluating scientific evidence is decidedly not the stuff of headlines.  Thus, to make news out of incremental scientific developments, subsequent results tend to be over interpreted and sensationalized.  This journalistic approach to understanding scientific progress also attempts to make everything black and white again.  But this time, it is a newspaper telling us what is good for us. 

With some hard work and thoughtful consideration, you can make decisions about your own personal wellness in spite of the imperfect nature of the science.  The Vitamin Shoppe wants to support your personal development of a wellness regimen.  Our Health Enthusiasts can help you gather the very latest information about supplementation and health through our Lending Library and our online information resources.  These resources can help you make your own health and wellness decisions.  As an informed and empowered consumer, you can be the judge in the case against vitamins.
