Is Failure the End of Everything?
"The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose." --John McEnroe Much as we would like, not everything is going to go our way. Even if we prepare for what we hope is every eventuality, things will, and do, go wrong. It is how we react to those situations that is important, not necessarily the situations themselves. Are you going to collapse in a heap and wish everyone and everything would go away? Are you going to pretend that nothing has happened? What else is there to do? It's time to decide that there is no such thing as failure, just the opportunity to learn from the experience and move forward. How about taking what was considered to be a failure, seeing what needs to be changed, improved etc, so that it does not recur, and go on from there. Decide not to repeat the same mistakes and face the next challenge with your head held high. By making those mistakes, and learning from them, you will grow and accomplish more. Learn what doesn't work and query why it didn't work and take the opportunity to try a new approach. Examine everything and formulate plan B, C or Z ? until it does work. Take responsibility. Find a solution. Your own failure would be if you didn't make the decision to learn and move on ? to success. Kate Harper is based in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland.

A Woman?s Road To True Beauty
We live in a world where society dictates the norm. In today's society, beauty becomes so stringent that many women develop distorted views of body images and become frustrated at not being able to obtain the "ideal figure." Some women are so dissatisfied with their body size that they are driven to become thin and maintain that thinness, sometimes to the detriment of their health. Some women diet in order to increase their self-confidence, make a partner happy or to fit into the perceived model look hype that is so often seen on television. In some respect dieting trends reflect the cultural norms that say that women who eat less are considered to be more feminine and more beautiful. Women spend thousands on surgery to change their features or gain the nose, eyes, and mouth of their favorite celebrity.
