10 Ways to Increase Your Confidence Level - Remove Your Hesitations

We all want to become more confident and feel good about ourselves so we can live our very best life. Most highly successful people are known to be confident. They know the art of gaining confidence and the importance of improving their self confidence in the face of obstacles. How to gain this confidence and joining the league of successful people is not difficult. The key to this self confidence is to be true to yourself and your capabilities. Knowing how to be confident is an important skill and mastering this art will help you succeed in life. Following are tips on how you can gain confidence and improve your self image:

Pamper Yourself
Many of us forget how important it is to pamper ourselves. Enjoy that time in the mirror in the morning; spend a little more time on your makeup or doing your hair. This is a great bonding experience with your body. The more you see yourself and spend time with yourself the more confident you will become.

Flaunt What You’ve Got
After you’re ready for the day, be proud of your body. You only live once and there is only one of you. You are completely unique in this world. Flaunt it, feel it, love it. The world is yours. Own it. Even if you don’t believe it to begin with; the exterior confidence will internalized over time.

Listen To Your Instincts
Trust yourself. Don’t second guess. The more you stress over something, the more likely you are to over think, causing yourself easily avoidable problems. Do you want to take that project your boss is offering but you aren’t sure you can handle it? Go for it if your gut is pushing you in that direction. Everything in life is a learning experience. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t dwell over them.

Don’t Listen To The Haters
No matter who you are, what you do, where you live; there are going to be people who don’t like you. Most the time they aren’t even going to have a good reason for it. There are people who are going to become angry at your success and take out their jealousy on you in the form of anger. Do you best to avoid such people. All they do is hold you back from your full potential. Tell yourself over and over if you have to, that you are not what they say you are.

Recognize Your Accomplishments
So many of us go on living day to day, without looking back and really enjoying the view. See all those things you’ve accomplished? Be proud of them. It doesn’t matter how small something may seem, it’s important to celebrate the small victories just as much as the big ones. You’re awesome and you know it. Look at everything you’ve done!

Learn To Accept A Compliment
What do you do when someone gives you a compliment? Do you brush it off and get embarrassed? While this may seem like an innocent way to do, it’s not. You need to recognize the things people like about you and realize that you are all of those things. People aren’t just making them up.

Surround Yourself By Good People
You know what happens to people who are around negative, insecure people? They become negative, insecure people. If you want to boost your confidence, hang out with people who really put themselves out there and are proud of who they are, what they do and know what they want out of life. The people around you; whether friends or family are meant to boost you up, not push you down. When people are positive and speak their mind, you are going to become more accustomed to that behavior and it will soon become second nature to you.

Do What Makes You Happy
If you aren’t happy with your life, your confidence is going to be lacking. Need a boost in confidence? Why not take life by the horns and fix things one step at a time. Don’t like your job? Find something better; something that makes you feel accomplished and unique. Pick a job that really shows off your personality and your good traits. The more you are able to be yourself and be happy in what you do, expressing yourself will become much easier.

Be Social
Nothing is worse for you than spending all of your time in your house; when your friends call, you make up some sort of story as to why you can’t make it this time. If you find yourself avoiding your friends, it’s time for a change. You may not think it matters all that much but getting out there, having some fun and spending time with people you care about is important. Everyone needs time to vent and really get all the stresses of life off your chest. If all you do is work you are going to become pretty depressed, and while you may be going through the motions of life; you aren’t going to be truly living. Living is being happy and being happy is being confident.

Go Outside Your Comfort Zone
The most important and probably the most difficult way to boost your confidence is to push yourself. Do those things that make you uncomfortable and make you feel like running away. This is the best way to get to know yourself. Follow your heart and do what you know is best. Never avoid if you can prevent it. Take life head on and your confidence is going to greatly increase.

When it comes down to it, how you do these steps doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you get them done. It may take you months, it may take you years but once you get to that confident point in your life, you are going to feel much better.
ourself feel good.

Make private folders only visible to you (Free Hide Folder )

12:50

It often happens that we have to hide files or folders, especially when working on a shared computer. The most effective way to do it is by using a specific program.

Free Hide Folder is a free application that lets you select a list of folders you would like to keep protected. By clicking the Hide button in the main menu, all the selected folders will magically disappear on your computer. In order to have access to them you will have to pass through the program which has a pre-selected password to enter.

It's all very easy to use and actually effective if you have sensitive files to protect, but I have little issues on the usability side. It's not possible in fact to hide a folder just from the right-click menu; you will always have to pass through the Add function of the program. Again, if you want to see a folder that has been previously hidden, a double click on it in the program's window is not enough; you will have to select the right button in the right-click menu of the application.

The program installs icons in the Start menu, letting other users know you are hiding something, so maybe a combination of keys to launch the application would have been more effective. I suppose you can always delete the Start menu link but then you will not have direct access to your folders.

Free Hide Folder is a useful free tool to protect and hide sensitive folders on your computer. Some usability issues may render slightly annoying using it, but they don't affect its efficiency.

Languages:
English,German,Arabic

OS requirement for free hide folder:

OS WIn98/98se/Me/2000/Xp/Vista7

Hamster Free Zip Archiver - Free Application to Compress Data files

One literally stores million of files on their system. These files use a huge amount of storage space. So it is always better to compress these files and then store on the system. It is also better to email compressed file only as it will save a considerable amount of bandwidth too. There is a plethora of compression agents available over the net that offer you some of the most latest and innovative features but the main turn off is that they are available under the shareware license i.e. one has to pay for the software.

There are many free tools available but then they are not at par with others. However, one such utility that is distributed as freeware and can actually replace all the other software that are available only as a trail version is the Hamster file archiver.

Hamster has an interactive interface that is extremely easy to use. One can download the Hamster installation file. It takes less than two minutes to install the utility on your system depending upon the speed of your internet connection. After you have installed it on your system successfully, you will surely find its interface different and interesting.

Hamster comes in its own installation file and takes not more than 2 minutes to install depending on your internet connection. Once installed, you will find a very attractive and fresh interface for compressing your files and folders.

How it Works

When you launch the application, you can observe two boxes on both the top corners. One of them is open while the other one is closed. To compress a file, navigate to the location of the desired file and then just drag and drop the file to the opened box on the Hamster window.

If you don’t find this convenient, click on the closed box and then browse to the file location.

The application has a lot of options to offer before you actually begin with the compression. One can decide the level of compression can add password to the archive to secure it and can also split the files into two.

There is an added advantage to use Hamster over other utilities apart from being free. The compression process using Hamster is much faster compared to others reason being it utilizes all the available cores from your computer for compression. It also offers a better quality of compression.

You can download Hamster file Archiver from here.

School Student Sends PTA a List of 780,000 Adult Websites to Get Them Blocked

Ghazi Muhammad Abdullah, a fifteen year old school boy, has sent a list of 780,000 adult websites which he thinks should be blocked in accordance with Supreme Court’s orders but are still accessible to general internet users in Pakistan.

Abdullah told me that he has sent this list to PTA only because authority had asked him for a list of adult websites. He quotes an authority letter sent to him by Director General, Law and Regulations, as saying:

If there is any specific website that you wish to bring into the knowledge of PTA, it is requested that PTA may be informed of the same accordingly for further necessary action at our end.

Earlier, Abdullah had written letters to PTA, Ministry of Information Technology and Chief Justice of Pakistan to get adult websites blocked in Pakistan. After his repeated requests, and hack attempts on PTA and Supreme Court website PTA decided in principle to ban adult websites in Pakistan and issued directive for ISPs to block access to adult websites.

It was recently revealed that Pakistan ISPs have blocked 13,000 adult websites, while there are more still accessible, according to Abdullah.

Without detailing the criteria or selection process of adult websites, Abdullah, in an email, told me that he prepared this list of 780,000 adult websites with help of friends having expertise in computers. He wished not to disclose their names.

It merits mentioning here that Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistan is willing to block access to any number of websites, though they have concerns regarding the overhead involved in process. This is why they are advocating proposed national URL filtering system.
