Step 1 : Control your emotions by discipling your thoughts. Project affirmative thoughts when fear arises over outcome of any project. Reverse negative thoughts immediately. Affirmatively thoughts constitute controlled emotions.
Step 2: Be patient. Impatience is a sign of immaturity. you would not dig up seeds to see whether they were growing. Cultivate ideas and desires, execute them and patiently await the fruits of your labour.
Step 3: Work out step by step plan for each goal. Take one project at a time and complete it. you can move effectively in one direction at one time. You can think only one thought at a time. Don't take on too much at once. Discipline yourself to the accomplishments of one task before moving on the next. Keep a written record of your goals, and of your progress. Whatever needs to be done, do it. Don't put off the important things to fiddle with trivialities. Discipline yourself to get the job done in the shortest possible time. if you have to write an article, a book, prepare a speech, a sermon dig a garden, paint the house, sell the car, call on a tough prospect, do it.

Saving my First Kiss : A Book Review
Short Description:
By Default, Lisa Velthouse used to be a “party one.” Then she made it her own choice to date sparingly, purposely holding back the gift of her first kiss. She’s looking forward to the romantic day when she can present her lips to Mr. Right – and later break out the party supplies she has been keeping in her closet.
My Personal Review:
Okay. Another borrowed book (like the princess diaries)… lend by Janapee and originally from Alu. (Yep! my high school friends)
SMFK is a book about the value of waiting for the right guy in your life and why not worry about being single. Lisa still has virgin lips (20 years old oh my is this me?) which was really abnormal for in Western culture. It is possible for us Asian people but not for the western countries. She knows how ridiculous other people think about her but still she’s planning to have “A First kiss party”. She’s really consistent about it all throughout the book. haha!
The style of her narrations is per chapter but not a novel-like. Each chapter has different experiences and learnings. It is also a scripture-based . It was inspired by different Bible verse. Lisa is a Christian. I’m not sure if Baptist or Born again. It influences her all the way in the stories.

The Princess Diaries: A book review
Short Description:
Mia Thermopolis is pretty sure there’s nothing worse than being a five-foot-nine, flat-chested freshman, who also happens to be flunking in Algebra.
Is she ever in for a surprise?
First mom announces that she’s dating Mia’s Algebra teacher. Then Dad has to go and reveal that he is the crown prince of Genovia. And guess who still doesn’t have a date for the Cultural Diversity Dance?
