Problem: Article: No matter how talented you are, there is almost always somebody who can do something better than you. Look to those who are better and consider the potential for improvement.  Nobody is the best at something.  Even if you are 'the best' in the world at doing one thing, there are always other things that you cannot do, and may never be able to do. Recognizing your limitations does not mean abandoning your dreams, and it does not mean giving up on learning new things or improving your existing abilities. It simply means acknowledging that, as human beings, none of us are perfect and none of us can do everything by ourselves. We judge others because it's a lot easier than looking at ourselves. Unfortunately, it's also completely unproductive and, in many cases, harmful. Judging others causes strife in relationships, and it prevents new relationships from forming.  Perhaps even worse, it prevents us from trying to improve ourselves.  Everybody makes mistakes.  We make judgments about others all the time, usually without even realizing it. As a practical exercise, try to catch yourself in the act of judging another person or group of people, and whenever you do, judge yourself instead. Consider how you can improve yourself, instead of how you think others should act. After all, you cannot control other people's decisions and behaviors - but you can control yours. Work to address your flaws. Remember that growth and improvement is a lifelong process that never stops happening, even when you're very skilled at something. Suppose you graduate from an Ivy League university at the top of your class. You definitely deserve a lot of credit for the many hours of studying and for your perseverance. Consider though, that there is someone just as intelligent and hardworking as you who had less supportive parents, grew up in a different place, or just made one wrong choice in life. You could be in their position instead.  Always remember that with a bad choice yesterday, your whole life could be different today and, furthermore, that today could be the day your good choices change your life. Though you have undoubtedly worked hard for what you have, you could not have done it all without other people's support. Everything we do is a result of what many other people have done to us. It is all because of the people around us that we get shaped and become better persons at some point so  that we could achieve our goals. Part of being humble is understanding that you will make mistakes. Understand this, and understand that everyone else makes mistakes, and you will have a heavy burden lifted off of you. However, this doesn't mean that you should be sloppy - try to avoid obvious mistakes, but don't be afraid to try new methods or ways of accomplishing your goals. Each person can only experience a tiny sliver of life at a time. There will always be people who are older and wiser than you. Your elders' opinions could be worth listening to, although you must make the decision based on your knowledge of them. Although you may fear that people will be angry and frustrated with you, it is always better to admit than to cover it up. Whether you've made a mistake as a boss, parent, or friend, people will appreciate the fact that you're willing to admit that you're not perfect and that you're working to improve yourself and the situation. Admitting your mistakes shows that you're not stubborn, selfish, or unwilling to not look perfect. Admitting your mistakes will make people respect you more, whether they are your own children or your coworkers. It's okay to have a healthy self-esteem and to feel proud of your accomplishments, but nobody likes it when someone constantly tries to bring attention to themselves and their own achievements. If you feel like you really have done something great, chances are people will have already begun to notice that, and they will come to respect you even more for your humility. This doesn't mean you should lie about achieving something; if someone asked if you ran a marathon then it's perfectly acceptable to say 'yes'. But don't constantly talk about how absolutely amazing you were for running the marathon, or achieving other goals. Humble people don't have to be meek wallflowers - being humble doesn't mean not having any self-esteem. However, a humble person should be mindful of everyone in the conversation and shouldn't talk down or disrupt anyone. As a humble person, you should recognize that everyone, including you, has their own goals and dreams and they may want to talk about their achievements and their opinions on things. We are human beings and who we are now has a lot to do with other people's influence and guidance. Countless people have given you support and helped you to become the person you are so that you can achieve your dreams. It's totally fine to be proud about your achievements, but keep in mind that nobody ever does anything totally by themselves, and that as people, we are all helping each other to accomplish our goals. Share the love. Recognize others who have helped you on your path to success.
Summary: Admit that you're not the best at everything -- or anything. Recognize your own faults. Be grateful for what you have. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Admit your mistakes. Avoid bragging. Be considerate in conversations. Don't take all the credit.

Problem: Article: If you get sleepy while you study, movement can help wake you up. Instead of browsing the internet during your break, stand up from your desk. Stretch and run in place. Then take a short 5-minute walk around the room. Studying too much information at once can cause you to feel overwhelmed. Instead, separate your notes into smaller sections. Each time you master a section, you'll feel a sense of satisfaction! For example, instead of trying to memorize all of your equations, focus on 1 or 2 at a time. Add more only once you have mastered the previous ones. If you're studying history, break up your notes according to event, historical figure, or time period. For example, you might study 10 years at a time or focus on the consequences of 1 historical event. You can organize your breaks around these smaller chunks. This will help you rest a little more while you learn your material. To encourage yourself to accomplish large study goals, plan large rewards for your hard work. For instance, if you study all weekend for a midterm exam and cover all the material, reward yourself with tickets to a concert on the next weekend. Having an exciting incentive in mind while you study will make the whole process more enjoyable.
Summary: Take a short walk during breaks to prevent sleepiness. Break your material down into smaller chunks to avoid burnout. Set larger achievement rewards.

Problem: Article: This style of roll is one of the easier styles and doesn’t strictly require styling cream. However, you may find it useful if you have especially fine hair or hair that is prone to flyaways. After using the mousse, brush your hair thoroughly. With one side of your hair clipped up, twist the other side of your hair into individual twists, and then combine to make another large twist. You should now have two twists on either side. Since this is a modern and elegant look, you will want to make sure that your hair is free of frizziness or bumps. Take a comb and smooth down any messy spots. Clip any fine hair in place with bobby pins. Then use hairspray on the rolled section of hair.
Summary:
Use styling mousse for fine hair. Repeat the twisting on the other side. Comb down hair.
