Apply Lessons From US Military Training
"If we do go to war, psychological operations are going to be absolutely a critical, critical part of any campaign that we must get involved in." - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
The U.S. Military knows that survival is a mentality or a way of thinking. The same can be said about thriving. The lens that you use to view the world plays a big role in the results that you obtain through your efforts. Thus, you must align your consistent outlook for surviving and thriving with proven approaches to surviving and thriving in tough times if you are to break away from the grasp and momentum of your major challenges.
In his book, The Survivor's Club, Ben Sherwood opens with a prologue about his experience participating in a dramatic survival training exercise at the U.S. Marine's Aviation Survival Training Center. As a journalist, he is not only able to experience the training but vividly report on the experience and share the key lessons for us to apply in other potential survival situations.
Based on the experience, he found several keys to the approach that the U.S. Military uses in training their personnel for survival:
They understand that crisis is inevitable and you must anticipate adversity and crisis if you are to have the best chances for survival
When faced with adversity or challenges, they train personnel to observe and analyze the situation, devise a plan, and decisively take action - this all must be done quickly because, in most crisis situations, time is of the essence
If (and most likely when) things go wrong, survivors must be trained to adapt and improvise, not panic
If (and probably when) you get overwhelmed, you have to recover quickly. Thus, recovery strategies and approaches must be close to automatic reactions
Waiting for the worst to end is a critical strategic and tactical option that most likely will be needed. Frozen panic will kill you but so will overly aggressive action at the wrong time! People must be trained to hold back, identify right moment, and then do what is gives them the best chance to survive
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty." - President John F. Kennedy
During times of great universal challenge or major personal crisis, the above approaches will help you not only survive, they can help you find the hidden opportunity to thrive by working through your adversity. If you panic, wish things were not happening or it were just easier, you will significantly reduce your chances of creating something positive from your experiences. And during those most severe crisis situations, you just may not survive!

Configuración de límites y resolución de conflictos
Configuración de límites y resolución de conflictos
¿Qué tiene que ver la configuración de límites con la resolución de conflictos? Resulta más de lo que piensas. ¿Cómo responde usted típicamente al conflicto? Si tiene tendencia a la rebelión o al cumplimiento, es probable que no haya tenido mucha práctica en establecer límites. Claramente, la configuración de límites no suele ser una parte de la educación de un niño. Más bien, los niños están condicionados a no establecer límites como una forma de evitar las reacciones negativas de los demás. La capacidad de establecer límites, de cuidarse a sí mismo, comienza con la creencia de que vale la pena cuidar de su “yo”.
Si ha aprendido que cuidarse a sí mismo resulta en conflicto, rechazo o abandono, es probable que evite cuándo necesita establecer un límite, en lugar de arriesgarse. Además, es probable que haya tenido una escasez de buenos modelos a seguir. La mayoría de los adultos tienden a caer en una de dos categorías: excavadoras o felpudos.
El grito de batalla de los bulldozers es “a mi manera o la carretera”. Creen que tienen el derecho de que sus necesidades sean atendidas y atendidas a expensas de todos los demás. Los felpudos son “buenos” chicos. Son muy complacientes y lo hacen a expensas de sus propias necesidades. Ninguno de estos patrones realmente se trata de establecer límites. El establecimiento de límites siempre toma en cuenta las propias necesidades y se basa en una comunicación honesta y directa (en lugar de en la manipulación y la clarividencia).

The Use of Drones in Photography
The Use of Drones in Photography
Drones are being extensively used in the field of photography. It started as a hobby, but recently it has taken a professional turn. A drone is an amazing tool that can help capture breathtaking aerial shots that were unimaginable before. You might have seen stunning aerial shots of landscapes like mountains, rivers, deserts and fields in movies. A helicopter is usually used for filming such images in the movie business and a large crew is present to assist the camera person. However, in real life it is almost impossible to arrange for a helicopter. Even if you have the finances available to you to arrange for a helicopter, you would require a pilot to fly the helicopter so that you can take photos. So, if you want to indulge in aerial photography without having to spend a fortune over it, then drones are your best option.
Drones come in various varieties. You can choose the one most suited to your photography needs quite easily. There are some models that can be bought for less than $100 such as the Blade Nano QX. This model is ideal for beginners and budding photographers who have just started using drones for photography purposes. There is always a possibility that the drone will crash while you are learning to fly it, so it is better to buy a cheaper version first.
Photographers who are well-versed in piloting a drone by themselves can opt to buy more advanced drones that have the capability of carrying a larger camera. Some of the most popular models of drones that are currently being used for commercial photography include the DJI Phantom series. If you are confident about your drone flying skills then you can even go for the Iris by 3D Robotics. These drones may cost you around $800, but they are worth the cost. The quality of photos that you get from these drones is amazing.
There are other drones that come with an attached Go Pro camera such as DJI Phantom 2 but the cost is double of what you will pay for the ones mentioned above. Do keep in mind that better the camera you have on your drone, the higher the quality of pictures and videos you will be able to shoot.
The camera is the most important piece of equipment when you are interested in clicking great shots with the help of your drone. A crucial factor in the selection of the camera is its weight. The best camera in the market at the moment is the GoPro Hero3 Black edition which weighs a mere 73 grams and can give you high quality photos and videos. This camera has built-in Wi-Fi and is compatible with OEM and third party accessories. The accessories that you may want to buy include:
· Transmitter to increase the range of your link.
· Receiver to decrease the noise when you receive the video on the ground.
· Goggles to view the video feeds.
· Anti-gravity motors and specialized remote controls are also a few accessories that will improve your experience with your drone.
