The purpose of affirmations is to help us focus on our goals and keep them proximate.   Also by keeping our goals proximate, we reduce the stress associated with the mundane tasks  required to achieve them.
No matter what your goals are in respect to the Internet, each of us need affirmations, hence, the purpose of this page.
 
 
 
Affirmation for the week ending September 14, 1997...
 
 
The next time I become frustrated when downloading a large file, I will take a deep breath and remember: 
  • The best time to do large downloads is during "off-peak" times when the net isn't so busy.
  • To look for "safe" alternate sites to download the file.
  • To consider upgrading my modem so I can download at a faster rate.
  • To make certain that my throughput is not being impeded by something running on my computer.
  • Request that the site provide zmodem protocol just in case I lose my connection during the download.  By utilizing this protocol I can resume (rather than start over) my download.
  • To become more aware of software which will automatically login for me and perform download tasks while I'm asleep.
Go Ahead... take a few more DEEP BREATHS... you deserve them !
