It’s a New Year! That means you can start fresh with new opportunities. You’re putting the past behind you and you are ready to take on your new challenges.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? But what happens when a setback comes? I hope you noticed that I said “WHEN a setback comes.” The reality is that no matter how good things seem, we all will experience some sort of misfortune.
The truth is, the success journey is filled with ups and downs along the way. This is why learning how to overcome setbacks is very important.
A setback can appear in so many different forms. It can be financial, health, relationship issues, or even personal loss. It can also be not getting that promotion or raise you felt that you deserved. Setbacks are part of life.
The first step is to understand that setbacks are normal and everyone will face them. Some people unfortunately have larger ones to face than others. Life certainly is not fair. Knowing that everyone experiences setbacks lets us know that it is something everyone can expect to happen in life.
When a problem does arise, look at it head on and acknowledge it. This will help you to start to deal with it honestly and productively. It may seem difficult but you will overcome the setback.
A good thing to do is remind yourself of past setbacks and how you got through them. Even though some scenarios may have seemed pretty tough, you made it through. This does not mean it’s easy, but it does let you know that you will survive. It’s not pleasant to have to deal with a setback but if you address things with sincerity and a positive attitude, you will be able to overcome it.
Perhaps you may be going through a setback right now. Welcome to the journey of success! Let me encourage you that you will get through it. Expecting and recognizing setbacks are the first important steps to dealing with them. When you find that you’re going through a difficult time, keep your vision looking forward. Don’t play the blame game. Instead of asking the question “Why?”, ask the question “what?” What can I learn from this setback? Don’t waste time regretting things you cannot change. Make a commitment and work hard to try something new.
The setback is just a set up for your success, it’s all part of your journey. Never allow yourself to be defeated and keep working towards your goals. Your future looks incredible—understand that setbacks are part of the process of building your character. I wish you great success!
Resumes can be pretty boring. It’s also estimated that the average employer spends about 6-7 seconds looking at a resume before moving on to the next one.
That isn’t a lot of time to stand out and prove that you’re the right person for a particular job, especially when you’re using a standard template, format, and style for your resume. So, how can you make your resume interesting? Does it even really matter?
Yes.
Letting your creativity and personality shine through your resume is a great way to get your foot in the door and make sure an employer looks at what you have to offer for longer than seven-seconds. But, there’s a balance you need to strike between personality and professionalism.
With that in mind, how can you effectively show your creativity in a resume?
Put a Spin on the Standard Template
Put yourself in the shoes of a potential employer. If you’ve put out a job listing and get 100 applicants, think about how boring it would be to go through each resume with each one of them looking exactly the same. Unfortunately, that’s what typically happens.
While a good recruiter or employer can eventually “weed out” the ones they don’t want, it can be beneficial for your resume to stand out sooner and catch their eye by being just a bit different. A bland resume won’t land you a job. Try looking at examples of resumes to learn more about what not to do, before figuring out how to add your creative spin to your own. Some ideas that can keep your resume professional-yet-unique include:
Adding color
Using graphics and images
Choosing a unique layout
Using an online resume
Adding a video
Creative resumes can be especially effective if you want a career in marketing or media. But, don’t count them out for more serious careers, like public health. Many public health jobs require the ability to think outside the box and work directly with people. If you show your personality through your resume, an employer will recognize that you have more to offer than hard skills.
Talk About Your Creative Thinking Skills
Once you get the attention of an employer with a unique-looking resume, keep them interested in what you have to offer. Creative thinking is a bigger draw to most employers than you might think, even if the career doesn’t seem to require a lot of “creativity” on the surface.
Every resume needs a section dedicated to your skills and abilities. But, instead of just focusing on some of the “standard” items, make sure you include skills related to creative thinking, including:
Time management
Teamwork
Leadership
Communication
Problem-solving
Adaptability
If you were an employer sifting through resumes all day, imagine how refreshing it would be to see some of those skills. Unfortunately, they are often ignored on resumes in favor of technical skills specifically related to the job. While those are important, adding your creative thinking skills — and even explaining how you put them to use — can go a long way in helping you stand out from your competition.
Let Your Personality Come Through
Think of your resume as a first impression. It’s your one chance to entice a potential employer enough that they might call you in for an interview. The interview process is where you’ll really get a chance to show who you are. But, your resume can get your foot in the door.
So, why wouldn’t you want to let your personality come through?
According to the 2020 Future of Jobs report by the World Economic Forum, there is going to be an increasing demand for skills related to innovation and creativity between now and 2025. Showing off your creativity in a resume goes beyond listing your skills. You can actually show an employer how creative you are by using more casual language, talking a bit about your personal life, or even including a blurb on what a particular job would mean to you.
There is a fine line between professionalism and something too personal. But, it never hurts to include “snippets” of who you really are on paper. Remember, a company is hiring all of you, not just the skills you’ve listed on a piece of paper. Most businesses want to work with well-rounded people who are willing to add something positive to the work environment, rather than those who just show up, do their job, and go home.
So, whether you’re specifically looking for a career in a creative field or you want to think outside the box to get the attention of a possible employer, it never hurts to show your creativity in a resume. Do your research and find examples that stand out to you. It’s okay to find inspiration elsewhere, as long as you make sure your resume is personal, unique, and a good fit for the career you want.
Recently I watched—for the umpteenth time—the great 1955 Chuck Jones cartoon, “One Froggy Evening”; about a construction worker who finds at his worksite a musically gifted frog.Expecting to make a pile, the man eventually realizes that this delightfully freakish creature will perform only for him; in the presence of anyone else the frog is nothing but a bland, sluggish croaker. The outlandish proceedings made me think of Nikolai Gogol—particularly his short story, “The Diary of a Madman”.
The diarist, a clerk named Aksenty Ivanovich, records in an October 3rd entry that he recently overheard a human-like exchange between two dogs. Not only do these dogs talk, they correspond (“I did write to you, Fidèle; Polkan probably didn’t bring you my letter!”). Initially Aksenty is surprised over such anomalies; but on second thought:
‘Actually, a great number of such things have already happened in the world. They say that in England a fish swam up which said two words in such a strange language that scholars have been trying to identify it for three years already and still to this day haven’t discovered a thing. I also read in the papers about two cows that came into a shop and asked for a pound of tea.’
One of the dogs is owned by an attractive young lady who is the daughter of the department director where Aksenty Ivanovich works as a clerk. Neither his forty-plus years nor his financial straits prevent him from pursuing this “aristocratic” woman. But at the same time he is so overawed by her and her father that whenever he has a chance to speak with either of the two, he becomes tongue-tied. He resorts to lurking near her house, hoping to catch tantalizing glimpses of “Her Excellency”. Eventually, he recalls certain details of the conversation between the two dogs and decides to steal the correspondence they had mentioned. In this way he will be able to see into the world of the woman he is obsessed with.
He goes to the apartment where the pooch named Fidèle lives, and says to the girl who answers the door: “I need to speak with your dog.” He presently forces his way inside, past the frightened girl and the angry pet, where he grabs a packet of papers—the purportedly written exchanges between the two animals.
The diarist’s delusions become increasingly disjointed and extreme, and the reader knows that it’s only a matter of time before he lands himself in serious trouble. The later entries of his diary are dated in comically bizarre ways (for example, ‘Year 2000 43rd of April’), and he eventually comes to believe that he is no mere titular councilor but majestic royalty.
Like “One Froggy Evening”, Gogol’s “The Diary of a Madman” is as hilarious as it is dismal. For those who are interested, it might be especially enjoyable to watch the Chuck Jones cartoon and read the short story, one right after the other.

The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1972 and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small across the globe ever since. The band’s mighty music catalog, consisting of more than 20 studio albums and a score of live releases, has racked up multi-platinum album sales many times over. Lead singer Doug Gray sees no end to the road that lies ahead for The Marshall Tucker Band, whose legacy is being carried forward by the man himself and his current bandmates, drummer B.B. Borden; bassist and vocalist Ryan Ware; keyboardist, saxophonist, flutist and vocalist Marcus James Henderson; guitarist and vocalist Chris Hicks; and guitarist and vocalist Rick Willis.
ClintBlack has been known by everyone in the music world with 22 singles that have earned the No. 1 spot on the Billboard country music charts and nearly two dozen gold and platinum album awards. The GRAMMY Award-winning superstar started in Texas nightclubs and coffee shops and has since earned a spot on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I have personally been in direct sales since I was 18 years old. Over the years, I have been fascinated with the difference between salespeople who just get by and superstar salespeople who achieve incredible levels.
What makes the top sales performers different from the mediocre sales representatives?
Obviously, one of the most important factors I have seen is the commitment to doing what it takes to become successful. Direct sales requires a lot of discipline. The more you put into it, the more you’re going to get out of it. So it’s important to give 100 percent and never give up.
Along with putting forth the effort, research shows that unique personality traits combined with a solid sales approach are what set top performers apart from everyone else.
Here are some top sales tips that will help you to become a top performer.
1) Stop overselling and start helping
The misconception is that in order to be a good salesperson, you have to have the gift of gab. The truth is, it’s quite the opposite. The best salespeople are the best listeners.
Learn to build a rapport with your prospect. It’s important to ask questions to find out what their pain points are. A top sales performer will try to identify a prospect’s top priorities and concerns and use that information to provide what is necessary to address those needs.
You will get a much better response when you have the ability to anticipate a customer’s needs. This will make them feel like they are being helped rather than being sold.
2) Quit wasting time.
When you are out in the field visiting prospects, it’s important to make every second count. Have a sense of urgency. Time is your capital, so make sure you invest it wisely.
Not every prospect is going to be a sale. Far too many sales representatives waste time trying to convince prospects. A top salesperson will have the confidence to walk away if it’s not a good fit.
The time that you waste trying to persuade a non-prospect stops you from being with the right, qualified lead.
3) Ask questions
Far too many people in the sales world are caught up in pitching rather than engaging with their prospect.
People are buying you. Be sincere. Be genuine and have your prospect’s best interest in mind.
Building a good rapport with someone hinges on asking good questions. When you are asking questions, you can uncover what their needs are and how you can help them.
4) Keep it simple
It’s important to learn the product that you are selling but, at the same time, there is no need to over explain it. I have seen sales representatives talk people out of the sale by going on too long.
Get to the point and don’t waste time covering information that is not important to the specific situation. It’s important to read each scenario and know when it’s time to close.
5) Have fun
I’ve had a slogan over the years, and it goes like this… “having fun and making money.”
In order to have consistent success in sales, it’s important to enjoy the process.
If you love what you do and you convey that message to prospects, the response that you will receive will be far better than just going through the motions.
Have a blast! Enjoy what you are doing and let everyone else see that you have a passion for what you are selling!
Sales is quite a lucrative industry. It will be challenging but if you make a commitment, you can have a successful life.
Learn from the best. Surround yourself with winners and, no matter what, never give up! if you’re going to be in this field, you might as well give it your all and decide to be a TOP PERFORMER!
It’s no secret that gamers demand a lot when it comes to their server’s performance and the support team behind it. There’s nothing wrong with that. After all, you want a game server host that can really deliver. You don’t want to deal with lag during your game or have to fight for resources with other gamers.
But how exactly do you find the right game server host? The global game hosting market has grown steadily over the last five years, and it can be challenging to determine which game hosting service is the right one for you. Here, we’ll dive into the top eight most important factors to look for when you’re searching for game server solutions so you can find the right server host to take your game to the next level.
1. Low Latency
Network latency between the game server host and its gamers is impacted by three factors in particular: physical distance, network distance, and bandwidth capacity. Even if your game server host has the strongest bandwidth, it won’t mean much if they’re not close by. When the distance between the host and the gamer is too far, you create a larger latency. Similar to physical distance is network distance, which is the number of jumps that data needs to make to reach its final destination. A highly-optimized network route will reduce the number of data jumps, which will reduce latency.
You want to be as close to your game server host as possible for lag-free gameplay. Look for a game server host that has multiple worldwide locations to make your gameplay as seamless as possible. Your game server host should also have a low latency network with multiple providers. That means they’ll be optimized specifically to process a high volume of data messages with as little delay as possible, delivering near-real-time access to data. You don’t have to worry about your server host operating with an overloaded network interface when you choose a quality game server host.
2. Customer Support
A game server host with a fast server response time is great, but low latency is only as good as the customer service. When you’re looking for a game server host, you want to be sure to find a host that you feel comfortable with. A poor experience with a representative can not only keep you from enjoying your game but it can also ruin your entire day.
BisectHosting understands that you need fast, efficient, and quality customer service to provide you with gaming or network solutions. That’s why BisectHosting provides 24/7 customer support with an average ticket response time of only 20 minutes. With 17 locations around the world, BisectHosting has support representatives in many time zones to deliver the support you need when you need it.
3. Powerful Hardware
When you choose from game hosting services, you won’t typically have a say in what hardware is used. That’s why it’s a good idea to look in advance for a service that uses powerful hardware to run its game servers.
Your game hosting service needs powerful hardware to run its game servers. This helps to cut down on I/O time and helps with quicker loading so you don’t need to get frustrated with a lagging game. Look for a game hosting service that uses Enterprise, NVMe Drives, DDR4, and Xeon CPUs running at high frequencies for optimal performance and interoperability.
4. No Overselling
Overselling is when a game server hosting company will overload the system with customers causing everyone to fight for the server resources. A game hosting service may choose to do this because they assume their users aren’t going to use all of their allocated resources. Of course, this becomes a problem when users do use all of their allocated resources. If you have too many users on the same server, the server becomes slow and begins to lag, creating a poor gaming experience.
That said, when you’re outsourcing server hosting, you want to be sure that you’re choosing a game hosting service that doesn’t oversell their server resources. Opt for a game server host that has nodes that are never oversold. Each node should be monitored 24/7 to ensure there are adequate server resources and support as needed.
5. Easy-to-Use Control Panels
Control panels are great for hosting users. They allow each user to manage their dedicated servers, shared accounts, and VPS without having to know the ins and outs of their system. For gaming, in particular, it’s a good idea to look for a game server host that offers a modern gaming control panel that gives you a lot of support. After all, you don’t want to spend time messing around and configuring your server. You want to play your game.
Look for a game server host that uses an easy-to-use, feature-rich control panel that’s completely customized from Multicraft for each Minecraft server. Multicraft allows you to manage your server easily and efficiently without any frustration. With Multicraft, there’s no need for complex configurations because every Minecraft server is controlled from a single control panel for optimal flexibility and scalability. What’s more, Multicraft also comes with unique, built-in database provisioning, scripting functionality, backups, and more.
Some Minecraft server users prefer to run a custom JAR on their server to keep all their resources in one place. BisectHosting allows that, too. Each Minecraft server with BisectHosting supports custom JARs for your convenience.
6. DDoS Protection
While the speed of your connection and the ease-of-use of your server experience are both important, it’s also important to make sure that the game server hosting service you choose to work with has your back. While you’re gaming, there’s the very real chance that you could be hit with a DDoS attack. A DDoS attack, or Distributed Denial-of-Service attack, is when a botnet (a network of infected machines) tries to overwhelm your server with fraudulent requests. When a botnet makes too many fake requests, it keeps real users from reaching the server to make their own requests.
DDoS attacks are more common than you think. Approximately 35% of surveyed companies say they’ve experienced a DDoS attack in the last year. Additionally, cyberattacks have been on the rise since the COVID-19 pandemic has increased remote work and server usage. It’s a good idea to look for a game server host that will help to protect you against a DDoS attack. Choose a game server host that offers DDoS protection free of charge to help keep botnets off your server.
7. Free Sub-Domains and Dedicated IPs
As a Minecraft server customer, you’ll typically use a dedicated IP or a sub-domain to connect to your server. When you use a dedicated IP, you’re using an IP address that’s unique to your server and you’re not sharing that IP with other Minecraft server users. Many users like to use a dedicated IP because they don’t need to enter a port to join. Other Minecraft server users use a sub-domain to connect to their server IP and play their game through it. Unfortunately, writing down IPs can sometimes be annoying for users who want to access their games ASAP.
That’s why it’s a good idea to look for a game hosting service that provides free sub-domains and dedicated IPs. BisectHosting provides free sub-domains to all java Minecraft server customers, and Premium Minecraft servers each come with the default 25565 port so you don’t need to enter any additional numbers after your IP to access your game.
8. Backups
When it comes to your game, you spend hours, days or years building something, so you want to make sure you protect your time spent. Misconfiguration, corruption of worlds, accidental deletion of files, and even bad mod/game updates can cause you to lose it all in the blink of an eye. Regular, consistent internal and external backups can protect you so you don’t lose too much progress.
In the unfortunate event that something does happen causing you to lose your data, backups allow you to get back to playing as soon as possible with minimal to no loss of your progress.
Make sure to choose a game server host that offers regular and consistent backups of your server. They should keep both internal and external backups; internal backups are lighting quick and keep 7 days worth of data, while external backups are kept for up to a year (even if you decide to terminate your hosting) so you have peace of mind knowing that you can always jump right back in to where you left off.
Choose a Quality Game Server Host That Has Your Back
When you’re looking for a game server host, you want to find a service that has you covered when it comes to customer support, speed, and protection. That’s where BisectHosting comes in. BisectHosting offers 24/7 customer support, powerful hardware for optimal connection speeds, multiple locations for low latency, and DDoS protection to keep your server secure.

I believe that everyone wants to become a better version of themselves, but few actually follow through. As we begin a new year, I want to encourage you to set a goal to live a life that’s filled with passion and purpose.
You have dreams inside of you that you would like to accomplish. Now is the time to make a commitment to follow through and become the best version of yourself.
The first step is to visualize the better version of you. It’s time to break out a notebook and pen and start writing out the things that you would like to achieve; create a vision board. After you have done that, make sure you have that board visible where you can see your goals at least once a week. This will remind you of what you are working toward.
In order to be your best self, it’s also important to prioritize these things. Your list may be big, but it’s important to choose one thing at a time to consciously work on.
Make sure that your goals line up with becoming a better version of yourself. For example, when it comes to becoming healthy, start replacing junk food with healthy food. Your goal is to make this a habit. Take it one step at a time and you will be amazed how fast you grow as a person.
While you are setting long-term goals, it’s important to have daily goals. When you have daily accomplishments, this propels you to keep going. Get started with those easy goals that you know you can complete quickly. This will help you to build confidence. As you are developing new positive habits, you are becoming closer to learning how to be your best self.
Momentum is crucial when it comes to goal setting. After achieving each goal, you will find that you begin to build momentum which will motivate you towards your next goal.
Make sure that your goals are specific. Each one of them should have purpose. I recommend at least once a month to take some time to make sure your goals are still pointing you in the direction of your priorities and purpose. Every now and then, you may have to alter your vision and your plan.
Now, let’s get this out of the way. You will have setbacks and you will fail. Nobody said that this journey of success is going to be easy. It’s important to realize that failure is necessary in order to succeed, it’s all part of the process. Valuable insights are learned through failure which will help you to become more successful in life. Never be afraid of it, fear will only hold you back. Learn to embrace failure and use it as a learning experience.
When should someone begin a new journey becoming a better version of themselves? The answer is “Right Now.” There is no such thing as a perfect time. You may think that you are not ready and that’s okay. Start right now and start right where you are. Today is the beginning of the rest of your amazing life. Do not procrastinate. Procrastination is another form of laziness.
As you begin this amazing journey, you must understand that you cannot have any negative self-talk. Begin by speaking as though you have already accomplished your dreams. Keep your attitude positive and constantly build yourself up—no more stinking thinking or hardening of the attitude. Your attitude is super positive all the time.
2022 is going to be an amazing year. Make that commitment to become a better you this year and speak victory into your life. Let’s achieve those goals and with each win, you will be feeling much better about yourself. It’s going to take a lot of discipline and focus, but you’ve got this!
I’m excited for you and your future. Let’s go out and make it happen each and every day. Now is the time to become a better version of you in 2022!!

It’s early in the morning and your alarm clock is going off. You know it’s time to get up but you decide to hit that snooze button trying to get a little more sleep.
I understand trying to get a few extra minutes of sleep every now and then but the reality is, hitting the snooze button will actually leave you feeling more tired during the day.
Now, I’m not a sleep study expert. However, when your alarm goes off in the morning, you are nearing the end of your last REM Cycle. When you hit that snooze button and go back to sleep, you are actually putting yourself right back into the cycle. When your alarm goes off the second time, it is now waking you up in the middle of REM instead of at the end of REM. So you may be thinking you’re getting extra sleep, but unfortunately you end up feeling disoriented.
So, I have a challenge for you going forward. Make the decision to stop hitting the snooze button. As soon as that alarm goes off, just get out of bed. You will find as time goes on, you’ll start your day feeling much more refreshed and ready to take on the day.
If you don’t feel you can do this right away, put the alarm on the other side of your bedroom so you actually have to get up to turn it off.
I’m also going to encourage you, starting today, to create a vision that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning. It’s important to not hit the snooze button on your dreams and aspirations.
You have to create a reason to get out of bed in the morning. There is an exciting life out there waiting for you. As we get ready to start a new year, write out a vision board on what you would like to accomplish. Be specific in all areas of your life. Your vision board will get you excited about getting up in the morning. So when that alarm goes off, you’re not going to hit that snooze button. You have a purpose and you have a reason to get up and go make it happen.
While others are hitting the snooze button, you jump out of bed with excitement. Develop a positive morning routine and make a plan for your day the night before so you know exactly what you need to accomplish for the day. This way, you can’t afford to hit that snooze button. You’ve got some exciting things to do and goals to accomplish.
No more hitting that snooze button! Let’s get up with purpose and be ready to take on the day! Look in the mirror and say “Today is going to be an awesome day!“ You are living the dream!
I’ve heard it said that these crimes were a freakish occurrence that could never happen again. I am not so sure. The Manson Murders embody revolutionary and utopian obsessions past and present.
