[Pic] The Self-Confidence Manifesto
PE reader Lenin requested for a manifesto on self-confidence, and I thought – “Hey, why not? That’s a great idea!”
So here we have it – The Self-Confidence Manifesto.
Great to remind us that at the end of the day, confidence really just begins on the inside:

Manifesto, n. – A public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives. (Dictionary.com)
Lately I discovered a new way of distributing PE’s content – as image manifestos.
A manifesto is a declaration of intentions or principles to achieve a desired aim. An image manifesto would be a manifesto, in an image form. Like the famous Holstee Manifesto, which has been widely distributed around the net.
Image manifestos are great since it conveys the message at one glance, is easy to refer to, and serves as a great daily reminder. It’s a simple, no frills, right-to-the-point way of distributing content.
Since a lot of the content on PE is gold, I thought it’d be great to adapt some of the classic hits into image manifestos. This post marks the first of image manifestos I plan to create. If it proves to be popular, I’ll create more. Just let me know in the comments area.
And let me know which posts you’d like to see as manifestos.
First up is The 8 Habits of Highly Productive People, an all time site classic written in 2010. I’ve extracted the 8 habits and produced them in a portrait layout. The tips are timeless…

Ask Celes – How Do I Prepare For My Comeback in Life?
This is part of the Ask Celes series, where readers were invited to ask me anything they want. The section is now over but you can read all Q&As here: Ask Celes Section.

Hi Celes! I want to make a big comeback in the game of life, I really want to live the life of my dreams. I tired of being a spectator just existing and not living on this earth. How do you suggest I prepare for my comeback? – Desiree
Hi Desiree, my first thought is that if you are using the word “game” to describe life, you may want to rethink how you see it.
While some gurus or experts like to refer to life as a play/game/show, and that we are the characters inside, I think these are delusional thoughts. It’s perfectly fine to use them as analogies to bring out a point, but ultimately life isn’t some stage play or video game (unless we’re in some computer simulation that we don’t know of, like in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time). Life is what it is, and we are here to make the best out of it.
That said, let’s get to the question – How can one prepare for a comeback…
