21 Ways to Get a Second Chance
By Lolly Daskal President and CEO, Lead From Within
Sooner or later, we all need a second chance. Here's how to give yourself room to succeed when things haven't gone well so far.
When we get things wrong--and it happens to us all sometimes--the only difference between failure and success is our attitude.
When we give ourselves a second chance we open up the opportunity to do better next time, to grow beyond our past failures and go beyond what we know we are capable of.
Here are some times to give yourself a second chance--to show you can be better and do better.
1. When decisions become difficult. Remember your values and mission and what you stand for. Give yourself a second chance by leading with your values.
2. When you're angry. If anger gets you in trouble, make a commitment to learning to manage your emotions. Give yourself a second chance by leading with emotional intelligence.
3. When you're mired in negativity. So much of what we think of as reality depends on our perceptions and outlook. Give yourself a second chance by leading with positive thoughts.
4. When you want to be respected. If you want respect from others, you must first give it. Respect begets respect. Give yourself a second chance by cultivating respectful leadership.
5. When you realize you don't actually know it all. The only true wisdom is knowing how little we actually know. Make a point of asking questions and listening. Give yourself a second chance by learning from others.
6. When you need to improve. One of the best routes to any second chance is to invest wisely in yourself. Give yourself a second chance by leading with personal development.
7. When you are prone to gossip. Pay attention to your words and make sure that what you say is important, truthful, and kind. Give yourself a second chance by leading with character.
8. When you've been dishonest. The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie will hurt you forever. Give yourself a second chance by leading with scrupulous honesty.
9. When you lose steam don't think of what you need but of what you can give. It energizes you and helps others as well. Give yourself a second chance by leading with generosity.
10. When you've been slacking. Spend some time unlocking your "why." Give yourself a second chance by leading with your personal mission.
11. When you're bragging. Remember that we grow not through impressing others but through humility. Become known as one who takes genuine joy in the success of others. Give yourself a second chance by leading with modesty.
12. When you're frightened of failure. Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear. Fight your fears or you will be in battle with them forever. Give yourself a second chance by leading with courage.
13. When you're habitually late. The person who honors time shows they respect other people's time. It's the best impression you can make. Give yourself a second chance by leading with punctuality.
14. When you have doubts. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. When you bump into doubt, take action immediately. Give yourself a second chance by leading with faithfulness.

Tishwash: Academics call for support for productive projects and protection of the currency.
Harmony and coordination between fiscal and monetary policies are fundamental to ensuring financial stability and supporting sustainable growth in the country.

GOLD: The World's Most Trusted Metal — But Why?
If gold is so rare, why can countries buy it by the ton? Who sells it? Why do central banks accumulate it? And is the world really preparing for gold-backed currencies?
For thousands of years, gold has fascinated humanity. Civilizations have fought over it, kings have accumulated it, governments have stored it, and investors have turned to it during times of uncertainty. But beneath gold's reputation as the ultimate symbol of wealth lies a surprisingly simple question:

I think that Al-Zaidi’s crew is running a shadow ledger alongside the published budget numbers, and that shadow ledger is where the rate gets calculated in the 2027 draft they’ll hand Parliament on the 15th has been through four closed-door revisions in the past ten days.
Where the financial committee, the CBI governor, and a quiet contact from the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Technical Assistance sat in a room in the Green Zone and most likely massaged the figures until the performance metrics spit out a 3.5-to-1 peg that the gold reserves can support without triggering a bank run.
