When I joined RWA I did it because I decided not just to write. I decided to be a professional writer. To write for a living. To be published. Joining a professional group and accessing the resources and minds available was a big decision for me. Originally I had decided to wait to join until I finished a complete full length manuscript. But it became apparent to me that that would be taking a long, long, long time. So I gave up, gave in and got involved.
And I'm incredibly grateful I did. Not only did I finish my manuscript, but I became a writer. I had been a dabbler, a hobbyist, a flirt. But I wasn't a writer until I not only finished my manuscript, but started another, and another. I wasn't a writer until I missed writing on the days I didn't do it and felt frustrated by life's daily grind stealing time from my "real" life.
Becoming a writer was a slow process. First the decision to write, then the decision to join RWA, then the decision that I was going to go PRO. What is PRO? It is a special section of RWA devoted to the serious wanna-be published writers. Those who have completed a manuscript of 70,000 words or more and submitted it to an agent or editor. And have been rejected.
Why do you want to join a group of rejects? It's not the snazzy pin they send you, although that is a desirable commodity. It's not the group you want to join. You want to join the published writers. But on the game board of writing it is a significant step. One many of your fellow scribblers will never get to. Joining PRO means you not only completed something, but you took the huge step of sending it out, got rejected, and now you're telling the world. Hey world, I got rejected!
In the War of Art by Steven Pressfield he has an entire section devoted to this exact exercise. He even subtitles it "Turning Pro". In this section he tells about overcoming resistance. For a writer this means setting daily times to write, and sticking to them. Finishing projects and sending them in. Courting rejection over and over and over again, until you get used to it. It is the process of becoming a professional at overcoming resistance.
Steven Presfield could have been writing about achieving PRO status in RWA, but he wasn't. It seems like a huge coincidence that what it takes to go PRO in RWA mirrors Steven's process, but it's not. To become a professional in any career you need to court rejection. More than that, you need to feed off of it. Rejections need to become the grist for your creative mill. Why? Because rejections give you new direction.
When you are rejected in RWA you now have a new place to go, you can join PRO. The loops, the retreat, the special articles in the magazine. All these are rewards you have for being a risk-taker. But you don't get them unless you apply. Applying to PRO means you are going to stick around. That is the key. Taking the lemon and building a lemonade stand, and if that doesn't work taking the lemonade stand apart and building something else. True entrpeneurs don't stop with their first failure, or their second, or even their third. They struggle and strive until they succeed.
Being a professional means sitting down and getting to work, even on those days when you don't feel like it. Being a professional means taking risks and getting rejected. But most of all, being a professional means combining the two. Taking your rejections and making them into your next piece of art. Learning from your critics. That's why PRO is such a wonderful opportunity for me. It gives me the opportunity to say I failed. I failed and not only am I am going to use it as a ladder to success, I am going to celebrate.

Extracts from this document...
ACTIVITIES FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING NOREEN MAKAYIRI I carried out a number of different activities with a person who has a learning disability; all the activities were effective in every sense to this person as they involved emotional, physical, psychological needs of my service user. I had a number of activities lined up for the day so there was a lot to really work on but then all were split into different times and days so that they could coincide with activities timetable l had. I would like to firstly discuss about cookery activity that was fantastic, interesting, life changing, challenging and emotionally keeping us up to standard that is happy and joyous. I had also other activities online, things like swimming, shopping as well as the art and craft. We will realise how all the above have mentioned have serious effects on a person's physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs of the service user. ...read more.
To create a different environment shopping answers the question of being stressed and enhances self-esteem. This increase the thinking capacity of the service user, allowing them to use their imagination, creativity skills and intelligence to match and decide upon the things to shop and why they do what they are do. All of this could be fruitless as long as a person is not physically fit, willing and able to do so for as to achieve a great deal when it comes to fitness, going to swimming helps out as it satisfies physical development needs like gross and fine motor skills, the hand-eye coordination. This also promotes cardiovascular health, fitness, flexibility, stamina, improved sleep, relief of stress, relaxation and helps also develop muscles. All this helps out especially in a person with a learning disability in a way they will sometimes be stressed by the activities they are daily involved in, so something physical helps them out because at least they can exercise a bit. ...read more.
For our shopping we had to restrict ourselves to time and the money we had so that we do not overspend unnecessarily. The entire shopping list had to be done well before and the rough estimates were done as well. This helped to stick within our budget as l cited earlier on. On all my activities l had planned for my client there was a common answer that is happiness seen on the faces of the people and the most important one was from my client. I saw him portray a happy face, stress free and a happy person despite the times we had to go through sometimes. These included planning sometimes, trying to compromise and reach some final decision and agreeing upon all these sometimes was not that easy. I enjoyed this time, as l was kept busy on my toes trying to plan ahead and face up the challenges and step up to the play. ...read more.

Airswift is an international workforce solutions provider within the energy, process and infrastructure industries.
Transforming economies, changing lives.
A global presence unmatched in our industry
When looking to hire new employees, it is important to find talent not only with the appropriate experience, but also someone who meshes well with your company. Finding the right employee can result in the loss of time and money, as well as delay projects.
Make sure you are choosing the right candidate for your open positions by choosing Airswift. Airswift is a global workforce solutions provider with over 30 years of experience supporting top companies in the energy, process and infrastructure industries. We provide more than just staffing and recruitment. We offer workforce solutions by working side-by-side with our clients in order to understand their specific needs.
Talent can have two different subjects depending on the context. It can refer to a particular skillset, which an employee possesses and has a positive impact on your company, or it may be employees themselves who embody several essential skills that your company desires.
The first stage that you need to go through as a company is talent planning. Talent planning means that you look at the talents that your company possesses overall as well as the potential these talents have to achieve your future goals and business needs. This can be from the perspective of overall talents, but it should also be looked at in terms of talents possessed by individual workers. From there, your company can decide which talents are already present versus which talents you need to obtain for the future.
Talent development is the plan that follows the talent planning process. It is about developing and guiding employees who exhibit skills that contribute to the company's success and growth, while also looking to fill the gaps of talent you feel is missing from your system. It requires time and effort because you must ensure the retention of the talent you already have, while hiring employees you hope fit the position.
In today's highly competitive recruitment market, companies need more than a traditional recruitment agency. They need a partner that can source a flexible and sometimes international workforce in a strategic way. Airswift is a global workforce solutions provider in the energy, process and infrastructure industries. We work side-by-side with our clients and offer assistance in managing people around the world. Airswift utilizes over 30 years of unparalleled expertise to provide our clients with support in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible.

Press Release – Oregon State:
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State University swimming program tackled UCLA on Friday at the Osborn Aquatic Center to continue the Pac-12 portion of the schedule.
The Bruins took the dual at 150-88 over the Beavers.
"I thought we had a lot of good energy going into this meet, especially after coming off a great winter training," said head coach Jennifer Buffin. "I thought we did a great job supporting each other and creating a positive environment for us to compete in, and it was great to see several in-season best times.
"Staying positive and enjoying the experience is important at this point in the year before going into the Pac-12 Championships. We're in a great place and we'll train hard. We're looking forward to going up against Washington State and Idaho before getting set up for our final meet against Utah."
Freshman Isabelle Bishop (Davis, Calif.) set three season-best times at the dual to kick off the momentum. She touched the wall in 1:01.38 in the 100 back for a fifth-place finish, added a time of 2:14.04 in the 200 back for a third-place finish in scoring, and clocked a 26.36 in the 50 free for a sixth-place finish.
Freshman Fernanda Rodriguez (Portland, Ore.) posted a season-best time of 2:24.09 in the 200 breast to finish second in scoring, and was four-hundredths of a second off her season best in the 100 back after touching in at 1:06.44 to finish fourth.
Sophomore Felicia Anderson (Portland, Ore.) led Oregon State in the 100 back at 56.97 to placed second in the event and added a time of 2:04.68 in the 200 back for another second-place finish.
Freshman Callan Jackman (Dublin, Calif.) finished in fifth place in the 50 free with a time of 25.87, while junior transfer Arianna Letrari (Bolzano, Italy) added a third-place finish in the 200 fly at 2:04.69.

Recovering from severe depression and anxiety was an active choice that I made because I did not want to live my life like that. You can't wake up one morning and be cured; you need to work hard to get over your illness. Recovery might seem impossible, but it's not, you'll get there. And yes, sometimes I do get frustrated and lose motivation but I remind myself that I need to keep going and I look back at all of the progress I've made to give me faith in myself.
When you commit to recovery, you need to gather up all your strength and motivation because you're going to need it. You need to try anything that could help you to feel better and you need to do this for a significant period of time, to give it a chance to work. When you choose to recover it's not a flippant decision – everyday you need to recommit to recovering until you are there; you will get there.
There are so many different ways to fight depression and anxiety and not everything will work for you. Some people might swear that going vegan is the cure or that exercising prevents panic attacks and it might be for them – but everyone is different. So whilst your friend's cousin deals with her depression through spin class, you need to find what works for you and to do this you need to try everything. You need to try new things no matter how convinced you are that they won't be of any benefit.
When I was recovering I tried everything and while these things didn't cure me, they helped me figure out what really benefited me. In addition, putting effort into making myself feel better made me feel productive and boosted my mood.
A few weeks ago, I read an article that made a lasting impression on me; it talked about how there are two types of people with depression. One type was those who were suffering from depression, and would likely struggle with it all their life, and the other type were those that would recover. This article suggested that if you are determined to recover and actively try to seek help, that you will be successful. At first I was dubious but after reflecting it made sense – if you don't make any changes to your life then nothing changes.
I understand that depression and anxiety may always be a part of me from now on, but I have recovered to such an extent that I finally have my life back and that's the goal for everyone. I felt hopeless and now I am so proud of the hard work and dedication I have put in to get better. Everyone has their own struggles and this is mine, and recently, for the first time, I have thought positively about the future and that I will be able to live a happy, normal life.
My recovery began after two or three weeks spent in my house whilst I was very physically ill due to my mental state. Every day I challenged myself, pushing myself further and further until everything felt normal again (well most things). I took myself out of my comfort zone everyday; even if it was only baby steps it was still progress. I never expected to have set backs, I thought recovery would be linear so when I couldn't do things I did the week before I became so unmotivated and disappointed. It's so important to keep in mind that set backs are part of the process so that you don't assign too much meaning to them.
I would like to reiterate that to recover, you have to try everyday. I would be physically ill every time I went to uni for a few weeks and then I broke through the anxiety surrounding lecture halls or crowded classrooms. It would have been so much easier to stay at home to avoid making myself ill, but if I had done that I wouldn't be where I am today. Although you might be really struggling, you won't feel any better if you don't make any progress and I understand how daunting it is to face your fears but it is essential. Getting over my anxiety towards certain situations was such a cathartic process and everyone is capable of this – you just need to challenge yourself.
Make the choice to recover to change yourself from solely surviving to living a wonderful life, as it is possible. Waking up in the morning with the goal of making it through the day was not how I wanted to spend my life – so I changed my how I was living. If you want to recover you will, choose life.
