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 November 2, 1997...
 
 
The next time I call technical support and I hang up feeling absolutely clueless, I will take a deep breath and remember: 
 
  • I am NOT clueless, it's just all this hype is making me feel that way.
  • Technical representatives often forget they were once new to the technology. 
  • The shame isn't not knowing, the shame is not asking for an explanation which you understand.
  • To take another deep breath, and call back until you get a satisfactory answer.
  • Talk with a computer literate friend; he or she may be able to explain to your satisfaction.
  • To consider taking a computer workshop to broaden my understanding of my new tool.
Go Ahead... take a few more DEEP BREATHS... you deserve them !
