Muchisimas gracias a todos por la ayuda!! It was very useful! Natuz , Nov 6, Tiene dos significados dependiendo del tono de voz o del contexto: Jeromed , Nov 6, Modosita , Nov 6, I'm struggling with explaining this one, especially because the orginal poster didn't give us much context, but I think Chris K's explanation above and Ter's Spanish translation "Esto no se puede inventar" are the best of the choices, if the original post is the kind of informal American speech that I'm thinking of.

For example, to borrow a scenario from a movie, a woman in her 30's wants to help her friend celebrate and picks a restaurant that she thinks will impress her friend and the other women at the celebration, but everyone in the group ends up getting food poisoning while they are shopping for new clothes right after the lunch, vomiting all over the store. I thought I was insightful and clever and witty, and, well, a real hoot. Occasionally, very occasionally, I might even have been one of those things.

Truly confident people don't feel the need to talk. While I hate when it happens, I still sometimes realize I'm not talking because the other person is interested in what I have to say, but because I'm interested in what I have to say. Never speak just to please yourself. When you do, you please no one. And, unlike these folks, you won't be particularly likable.

Most of the time, we should worry about what other people think -- but not if it stands in the way of living the lives we really want to live. If you really want to start a business -- which you can do in just a few hours, mind you -- but you're worried that people might say you're crazy, do it anyway. Pick one thing you haven't tried because you're concerned about what other people think or say, and just go do it.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but one of the best ways to motivate me is to insult me -- or for me to manufacture a way to feel insulted, regardless of whether I'm actually justified in feeling that way or not. Fueling my motivation to do whatever it takes to prove that person wrong, and, more important, to achieve what I want to achieve, is all that matters.

5. "I should just be quiet."

Call it artificial competition or manufactured anger; call it childish and immature; call it creating perceived insults -- whatever you call it, it works for me. Hey, it was good enough for Michael Jordan. Yes, you get only one chance to make a first impression. Yes, perfection is the only acceptable outcome. Unfortunately, no product or service is ever perfect, and no project or initiative is perfectly planned. Work hard, do great work, and let it go. Your customers and colleagues will tell you what needs to be improved, and that means you'll get to make improvements that actually matter to people.

You can't accomplish anything until you let go.

Do your best, let go, and then trust that you'll work hard to overcome any shortcomings. We've all screwed up.

We all have things we could have done better. Failing to step up, step in, or be supportive. Successful people don't expect to be perfect, but they do think they can always be better. So think back on your day.

3. "Hey, that wasn't so bad after all."

Think about what went well. Then think about what didn't go as well as it could have and take ownership. Some jobs require more effort than skill. Delivering packages, bagging groceries, checking out customers -- the tasks themselves are relatively easy. The difference is in the effort.

So do more than say a reflexive "thanks" to someone who does a thankless job. Exchange a kind word. All around you are people who work hard with little or no recognition.

Vow to be the person who recognizes at least one of them every day. Not only will you give respect, you'll earn the best kind of respect -- the respect that comes from making a difference, however fleeting, in another person's life.
