Mauro Libi Crestani: "Positive thinking is not only expecting the best to happen! But it is also about accepting that whatever happens is for the best…”.

By Mauro Libi . Life definitely presents its challenges. When we are presented with a task to accomplish there are three periods of time that can either hinder us or enhance our abilities to see the task through.   A few months ago I went to a friend’s graduation. The guest speaker was a middle aged female CEO. She told a story of how her success started. The other students in her graduation class were limited by their lack of experience. When they went on interviews, it was always the same story. The job interviewer always asked about what experience that the graduate had with maybe a software program that they never worked on or with some business system that they knew nothing about. The graduate had to be honest and say that they lacked the experience and the job went off to someone else. This CEO when she first went on her first interviews “Postitve thinking is not only expecting the best to happen! Bit it is also about spoke about her experience with software and systems ...

Mauro Libi Crestani: The show must go on.”

According to the Webster dictionary means said to ​encourage someone to ​continue with what they are doing, ​even if they are ​experiencing difficulties.  Guitarist Brian May wrote this while lead singer Freddie Mercury was dying of AIDS. It was Mercury's last official album with Queen, and when it was released, very few people knew he had the disease. The lyrics are about the need to press on and make the most out of life while you can still enjoy it. It is inevitably a comment on Mercury's worsening condition, and his attitude towards life – May, a member of the band,  noted his incredible courage in the Days of our Lives documentary. "He never moaned, he never said 'my life is s--t, this is terrible, I hate it,'" said May. "He had an incredible strength and peace."  The show must go on, yeah Inside my heart is breaking My make-up may be flaking But my smile still stays on Back in 1994 I bought a business from a gentleman...

Mauro Libi Crestani: Stress is one of the big causes of loss of productivity

By Mauro Libi Crestani.  For this article we will talk about one of the big causes of  loss of productivity…. Stress…..Stress can be defined as the brain's response to any demand. The body responds to each type of stress in similar ways. Different people may feel it in different ways. For example, some people experience mainly digestive symptoms, while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger and irritability. People under chronic stress are prone to more frequent and severe viral infections, such as the flu or common cold, and vaccines, such as the flu shot, are less effective for them. Of all the types of stress, changes in health from routine stress may be hardest to notice at first. Because the source of stress tends to be more constant than in cases of acute or traumatic stress, the body gets no clear signal to return to normal functioning. Over time, continued strain on your body from routine stress may lead to serious health problems, such a...

Mauro Libi Crestani: Being optimistic doesn’t mean deceiving yourself

By  Mauro Libi Crestani . "I went for a long holiday for 27 years," Nelson Mandela once said of his years in prison. There are disagreements as to whether a positive attitude in business really has positive effects. Look at those political prisoners who went to some of the harshest prisons. See how they survived. They had amazing attitudes despite all. A warder's first words when Nelson Mandela and his ANC comrades arrived were: "This is the Island. This is where you will die." They faced a harsh regime in a new cell block constructed for political prisoners. Despite being sentenced to life imprisonment, Mandela always remained optimistic about his future. He wrote,  “I never thought that a life sentence truly meant life and that I would die behind bars.”  He continued:  “Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed towards the sun and one’s feet moving forward.” Being optimistic doesn’t mean deceiving yourself. There is very littl...
